Default Tenn. Parents Sue School Over Cameras

"fuller" wrote in message ...
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A Tennessee middle school allowed security
cameras to film children undressing in locker rooms and then stored
the images on a computer accessible through the Internet, according to
a lawsuit filed by a group of angry parents.

The lawsuit filed last week in federal court in Nashville seeks $4.2
million in damages.

The parents contend the school system violated students' rights by
putting hidden cameras in boys and girls locker rooms at Livingston
Middle School. The cameras reportedly captured students, ages 10-14,
in various stages of undress.


The parents should have been more active when the school district
originally proposed putting cameras in the schools. Chances are,
the parents were simply told that "security cameras" would be
installed in the schools, something bound to garner no opposition.
They probably never imagined that the schools would do such a
reprehensible thing, especially considering that there are already
various laws prohibiting security cameras in areas where people
have a reasonable expectation of privacy - places like bathrooms
and changing rooms. The parents definitely have a lawsuit and
the school and district officials should face criminal
prosecution as well, addition of child pornography charges would
certainly be in order as well.
