The kid could have been somewhere else when the bracelet was removed from him, the bracelet could then have been carried to a place where it could fool the parent that the kid was safe and delay any action of said parent.
But why the kid had disappered is actually beside de point. The point was that the parent now felt safe enough to leave the kid alone somwhere when he othervise whouldn't.
As long as he does't have a chip on him you watch him irl when at LEGO-land. But now that he has the chip you can safely go to the parent longe and watch where he is on the KidLocator(tm) - and there he is, safely in plain site of everyone, where noone can hurt him, perhaps standing in line for a ride. You feel absolutely safe! Then 30min later you start to wonder why he is still in line, he should be on the ride by now. So you start to get a little worried, soon you decide to go check on him. So you go to the line and look for him, but all you find is his rfid-bracelet behind the trashcan...

In best Dr. Evil voice: "One million dollars!" *muhahahahaha*
Well suppose we see brain activity as a window.. and before it starts and after it ends "you" are not a person. Does that seem resonable to you?
Well a total lack of measurable brain activity, and for that condition to be permanent should do it.
Certanly the act of embarassing the emperor has to be punished..
Well like Terri Schiavo for example.
Properly braindead comas?

How much of a hassle is it really to carry a bracelet a few feet?
"the problem here is involving the legal system because some teen punk wrote something stupid.."
You misspelt "pricipal" as "teen punk" and "suspended someone" as "wrote something stupid"
"I mean come one we all did stupid signs back in school.."
