The Child-Alert, etc. fingerprinting in days past in the U.S. was capable of being controlled. The photo id card and the fingerprint card went immediately to the parent - no copies made.
Today’s technology however, uses PC’s, databases, and electronic scanners to take their personal data and do a ‘clean’ fingerprinting. There’s no telling if a copy is kept on the PC or not.
Some of the ‘complete kit’ packages that were presented for parents to consider even included blood type identification. All they needed was a small blood sample to type.
Amazing what people will buy into when they are scared, confused, and into herd mentality.
