secret cameras

Published Sep. 5, 2008

okay so you all know I have a child with special needs.

he is in a new school this year to finish up pre school. He loves to learn and loves school but sometimes I worry about how he might be treated. this class he's in is mostly " normal kids " with some autistics. THe program   and school is awesome but sometimes I still worry.

I was thinking of getting a camera small enough that would be pin size he could wear to record, so I know everything going on.

 

I know I cant protect him forever but remember he can't tell me if something bad has happened.

Your thoughts ?

(1) Willfully intercepts, endeavors to intercept, or procures any other person to intercept or endeavor to intercept, any wire, oral, or electronic communication.

I would be very cautious of using any kind of secret cameras! You will find yourself in civial and criminal court quick!

15A‑287. Interception and disclosure of wire, oral, or electronic communications prohibited.

(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Article, a person is guilty of a Class H felony if, without the consent of at least one party to the communication, the person: Willfully intercepts, endeavors to intercept, or procures any other person to intercept or endeavor to intercept, any wire, oral, or electronic communication. (3) Willfully discloses, or endeavors to disclose, to any other person the contents of any wire, oral, or electronic communication, knowing or having reason to know that the information was obtained through violation of this Article;

dj, ive been trying to teach him certain things but I dont think he quite grasps that not everyone is nice"

Maybe, teach him which behaviors are NOT nice.

I think you better ask an attorney before you go any further. You would be taping other people without their permission as well as taping inside a facility you don't have permission to tape in.

I get that your intentions are good, but I'm pretty sure the legal dice are stacked against you here. I'd find out for sure one way or the other.

lol, Old,,,that's what I get for working with children and dealing with state rules and regulations on a daily basis

Good point NCMom...To be honest I hadn't even thought of that aspect.

Oldrebel,,the only problem would be in the video taping of the other children and no way around it, if it were a small hidden camera, other children would be taped. Schools have to go through certain channels for permission to tape your child. Can you imagine how other parents would feel to know that someone, a stranger to them, had video of their child without their permission?

The idea is a good one but when you start involving other people's children, you have to walk very carefully

I don't see a thing wrong with a camera like that. Many of us have to work around cameras like that day and day out. You're on camera at most business's and ATM's. I've read that in England you're hard pressed not to be on camera if ytou out in the public. If children aree truyly our most precious resource, why would anyone think it wrong to keep on eye on that resource, on our most precious that we place in the charge of others each day. Sounds fine to me. ONly those who are doing something questionable to begin with would have anything to worry about.

Only put a camera on him if you don't mind every other parent in the class doing the same thing for their kids. I know I would not want any child taped all the time...after all, they are children and are in the process of being taught, they do not yet know all the differences between right and wrong and how to handle every situation. Life is a constant lesson and it takes time. Get to know the teacher very well and other staff at the school. Let them know your concerns, as most teachers I know only want the best for the children. Not to say there are not "bad apples" out there, but for the most part teachers are a special breed and have lots of patience for dealing with these situations. Love him and teach him to love for a world without some trust is a sorry place to be.

djofraleigh - For the public schools I would also love to have cameras in the classrooms.
