Apparently, their going to put video cameras in daycares so that a parent can check up on his kids in the middle of the day throught the internet. Does this raise privacy issues? You could raise the argument that pedophiles will take advantage of this system but you can counter that with an effective password system.

Privacy issues?

Everyparent has the right to check up on their children. I just hope people just don't use such a think to be lazy, "The kids look fine, let's leave them there a little longer".

What kinda privacy issues would there be?

i don't see privacy issues here.

i'd see privacy issues if there were cameras in the home for people whose definition of the correct way to treat children to monitor parental control.

a daycare like a school is responsible for what happens to the people they are responsible for.

like that kid who sued his school because he couldn't ride his skateboard on school property.

no matter how good he is; there will be somebody that will fall and break a leg and sue the school;

but because he can do it i can do it.

on the downside though;

i don't think it is a good idea for parents to see others disciplining their child.

most parents i know don't like it when somebody else tells their child to behave.

isnt the point of daycare to give us some piece of mind by deluding ourselves while we send our kids to be looked after by strangers...if you want to watch your kid bring him to the office....if you cant...then stay home and be a mom...all videocameras are going to do are distract you from your work so you can watch your child...either take a chance or sit home, iron clothes, and watch soaps...sheesh

With the shit some daycare centers have been found doing, I think camera's would be great.

I really don't think people will sit and watch their kids all day, but check up from time to time. I think a parent who cares would do that. My mother encouraged others to discipline me within reason, babysitters and family anyways. When a parent hands over their kid(s) it's something they have to expect.

I think businesses should help provide the service as well. The American Family is about gone, I think such a thing would help.

we have a "at home" baby sitter, for my 8 month old son. I've set up six cameras, with motion sensors, hooked up to two VCR, one as a back up. Basically, I had my friend install the pinhead cams (that's what they're called here, in Indy) covering every room in the house except for hallway, kitchen and guest room and my office which I keep locked. So far, I haven't seen anything happening to my son, but I made it clear that all the house is monitored via video cams. Now I am thinking of a way to set up so I could access all the cams live from work. However, being illiterate in electronics, I don't know a way of doing so. I don't trust a living soul with my boy, especially after all these horror stories of what they do to the kids.

How about video cameras in the work place?

you have no rights as an employee,

you are bound by the conditions of employment you agreed to by accepting the position and continuing to except it by returning to work.

the only freedom you have is the decision you make whether or not to go.
