Children’s right to privacy
I was talking to some friends of mine about the various levels of covert surveillance they have their children under.
Apparently, waiting up in a bathrobe as your child sneaks through the backdoor at three in the morning isn’t enough… now we should listen in on our child’s IM conversations and install cameras to watch their behavior at the door.
I am not a parent. I have little real-world experience regarding concern for my child’s safety. I can imagine that I’d want to do almost everything in my power to ensure that my child escaped the rigors of childhood free form unspeakable horror.
This, however, goes too far. I think one of the goals of raising children is to raise responsible adults who can function well in society.
