re: Nanny cams at daycare and school. Would you?

You are more concerned with someone hacking a video feed than with protecting your child from some pervert who could be working with them and building a"relationship" with them every day????? I would love to keep my son at home if I could afford the therapy he requires. Even more I would love to be able to trust the people who are responsible for his care while he's at school. However, the facts show that time after time children are molested by people in these positions. I will do whatever I can to protect my son and I'm sure you want to protect your DS as well.

Quoting Josain:" You are more concerned with someone hacking a video feed than with protecting your child from some pervert ... [snip!] ... by people in these positions. I will do whatever I can to protect my son and I'm sure you want to protect your DS as well."

Yes I'm more concerned because you don't have a clue where that footage could end up, the child sex industry is HUGE and its not just naked kids that people are interested in. Also like someone else said it would be a perfect chance for someone to scope out the centre, find out its weakness and grab a kid when they know there's a vulnerability.

Yes, I think it is very extreme to attach a nanny cam to the clothing of a child. I mean how would you explain that to a child? Or the nanny if she found out? Moreover, what would the school or daycare center think? I can completely understand hiding a nanny cam in your home, perhaps in a teddy bear or something. But not on your actual child.

I've used nanny cams in the home before and I firmly believe in letting the nanny know she is being watched - otherwise it's just an invasion of privacy. You know? I've found this pretty helpful website about nannies and nanny cams which helped me make the decision - but it's still a really controversial subject.

I thought about that too. LMAO. I wouldn't actually do it.

However, I watch LO all day on webcam at her daycare. She is only 2 though and I am paranoid. So I pay extra for camera access.

As a teacher I would feel so uncomfortable and upset and invaded if I found out a parent was secretly video taping me. I don't know, I might even talk to a lawyer about it.

Omg, why was such an old thread bumped? Lol.

I do want to put a camera on my son for school. Hes not able to tell me if somethings going on. Cameras should be in ALL classrooms where ANY special need child is.
