First of all, I LOVED this book, and the movie with Drew Barrymore. Second, I would never, ever turn my child over to the government just because he or she has some sort of special ability. For the government to even think someone would just turn their child over because they could potentially be used as a weapon is ridiculous. Of course people aren't just gonna hand over their child for the government to experiment on them like a guinea pig or rat in a lab, it doesn't even make sense for someone to think that would be a thing. I always did think the government agents in the book/first movie were insane to think the dad would just hand his daughter over to them and never see her again as well as turning himself over to be studied for HIS power too. It's definitely a horror story even if the first movie wasn't as dark because Drew Barrymore was too cute to make it that dark and it was on TV originally as well if I'm not mistaken.
