Camera Monitoring In Centers

[Fiddlesticks]

Perhaps this is the most offensive comment I've read. His mother has gone through much training and continues to gather information on working with her son and helping him grow. If the comment was meant in a general sense that's fine, but it displays a blatant insensitivity.

If you found the the actual statistics of abuse offensive, you can imagine how most of your posts came across to us child care providers who have literally spent years not just gathering information, but attending classes, seminars and conferences. Many of whom have college degrees in early childhood education, some have Master's degrees in the field. Most have decades of experience caring for children of all abilities, helping them all grow.
You have been told by people who do this work every day, who have a passion for early childhood education, who have decades of experience that cameras do not make children safer, that it violates the privacy of the other children and families in care, and causes more headaches than they are worth, but you have responded to none of that. It has been said here already, but here's a tip, don't start your product pitch by offending your target market. You could have started by appealing to OUR safety, and how cameras can keep us from false accusations. You could have approached it as a novel perk for parents which could help increase enrollment. Instead you said if we weren't willing to have cameras on 24/7 we must have something to hide...offensive.

This is so very sad and disturbing. My post was honest and many of you...those who are to suppose to be caring individuals responded in an ugly manner. I guess you are caring and kind to children only? I stated clearly that yes I support a specific company and not just that company, but I too support companies such as WatchMeGrow. I am very appreciate of the Texas company, but that is my passion to share that information with others. I should not have to apologize for that. And no...I don't work for WatchMeGrow.

I can't say I appreciate this type of feedback, but thank you for providing me insight.

But its true. Statistically she is BY FAR the most risky adult in her child's life. The numbers don't lie.

And using "much training" to work with a child and help them grow.... well that's the house you are posting in. That's us.

Why would you think WE need cameras on us while your nephew is cared for but his mother doesn't?

That is a blatant insensitive and disrespectful idea. It defies every ounce of statistical data on abuse and neglect.

Please answer why she (who is the most likely to abuse) shouldn't be monitored via video cam while she is caring for him and we should?

Invasion of privacy my friend? Is she willing to be TRANSPARENT?

Let's start with the most risky abusers and neglectful and get them on camera first. Invest and promote that. Then work your way down. You won't get to child care providers within your lifetime because the constant surveillance of the mother, father, boyfriends and girlfriends will keep the police and child welfare system in business for the rest of your life.
