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. |
