Cameras in Child Care, in Korea

Over the years, my opinion of surveillance has evolved.  About 15 years ago, a new early childhood community installed cameras that were accessible to parents attending that program.  It sounded like a great idea at first, and later I believed that the surveillance was a 'legal matter,' waiting to happen.  Just about 7 years ago, I operated a program that provided recorded surveillance, unavailable to families online.  At both programs, I lost families to programs that had footage of their children available online.  In more recent years, I operated two programs that provided online video surveillance to enrolled families.  My primary concern was that there were areas in the classroom where the cameras were unable to view.  My opinion is that those areas of the classroom could pose some threat to the children when they played in those areas.  Additionally, educators could be subject to accusations while in those areas.  Under my directorship, I demanded that educators refuse to spend time in areas that were not visible under surveillance.  My decision to mandate such a rule was not accepted with open arms, instead, I received complaints from educators that were not comfortable with being under surveillance 'all day.'  In the case of this program in Korea, laws were enacted when families could not prove that their children were abused.  Families were witnessing their children being released from the program daily with bruises and behaving traumatized.  In this case, the judge ruled that the cameras in use were constitutional, despite the school's belief that providing footage would be an infringement of the children's privacy.  In most states in the US, if the cameras are installed, and recording, the footage should be made available to the state's child care law enforcement.  Surveillance is not a licensing law in any of the 50 states.  Take a look at this article.  What do you think?
