In these days of computer chips etc, why have something as outmoded and clumsy as an ID card?

What we should do is have every child 'chipped' at birth.

The chip would carry details of its birth, injections, sickness, parents, home address, etc.  Then as it grows older the details of its schools could be entered into the chip, the courses exams it took, and then its bank account, the jobs it had had and so on.

Can you imagine it, a parent going into Tescos and finding that she had not enough money on her credit card but knowing that her child had some in its account, would pick up the kid and swipe it through the bar code reader to pay for the groceries.

What a great idea!  Not only would we know where the little darlings were 24/7 but the Police could have a tracker system based on GPS built into it - sort of built in baby sitter.  Oh the mind boggles!!
