The link doesn't seem to work, just checked and I can't get the Independent site up as well, so perhaps it's down temporarily.

I also had a friend who had Alzheimer's, and it is very worrying when they wander off, however I too think tagging is a bit extreme.

The only old person who should be tagged on her release is the the old lady on the ASBO, who was recently jailed for her terrible anti-social behaviour.
