The expansion of the Internet infrastructure across the world, has brought an increased audience. Which has provided expanded markets for businesses and exploited new opportunities. There are virtually countless social sites and media used by individuals to access and share experiences , content, insights, and perspectives. Parents today tend to believe they should spy on their kids online activity. I argue parents should respect the privacy of a child's social life and his/her internet activity.
There are, after-all, ways to be an effective, inspiring, and supporting parent without spying on the child’s every online
When children or teenagers are using computers, tablets, and cell phones parents should monitor them. They
...child myself, I wouldn’t want to provide the tools which enable my friend to do so. I believe that people have a perfect duty not to spy on one another. As someone with a reasonable technical knowledge, I would inform the parent that there are other ways of controlling their child’s computer and phone usage without directly monitoring them and reading their conversations. For example, the parent could instead opt to block access to adult websites from the router, restrict functions such as video chat or picture messaging, and limit the amount of time a child can spend on their devices without viewing each and every individual thing that the child does. This way the child will understand what is expected of them with regards to their electronic device usage without feeling that their every move is being monitored and that their private conversations are being read.
Ideally schools in the United States are considered by both parents and students alike to be “safe-havens” where parents can trust their children to learn and remain safe during the day and where students can feel safe in a well-maintained learning environment. However within this fully regulated government service, there are often debates over proper classroom environments, teaching tactics, and privacy issues. Today the main privacy issue in public schools is where to draw the line between keeping the school safe and maintaining the privacy of the students (Boomer par. 19). Searches and seizures in schools are not recent issues; however they are becoming more public now than in recent years.
Many teens nowadays have cell phones, smart phones, iPods, iPads and most of the newest electronics on the market. They also have social media sites such as Instagram, Snapchat, Kik, Myspace, Facebook and so on. Many people also say that teens now are “addicted” to their phones and can't let go of it. In the article, Let Kids Run Wild Online, by Danah Boyd, she explains how there are some parents that are “helicopter parents” and they track and monitor their child’s online activity. Danah Boyd is encouraging parents to lay back on their tracking and monitoring and to let their children do what they want online and they will tell you what is going on. She also said instead of being a “helicopter parent” by monitoring what your child sees and does online, communicate with your child and teach them what to do when there is an online predator and “developing strategies for negotiating public life, and the potential risks of interacting with others”. I fully agree with what Boyd is stating in this article and think that kids need their own kind of freedom without parents acting like hawks and watching their every move online.
To begin with no technology is 100% secure, if the kids’ location can be visible to hackers, this information can be used to harm them. In the Article, Irvine mentions “Parents are notified by text message, e-mail, or phone” about their kids activities at school. This information is also risk as emails can be hacked, Imagine it can be used to kidnap kids of a rich or high official for ransom. Privacy is a serious matter, and hackers can also use technology to commit crimes against such families. Irvine says, “High-tech methods to track everything” are available, that's means that there is always someone watching. Irvine says, “Big Mother” or “Big Father” who is watching, but it can also be “Big Kidnapper” or “Big Sex Offender.” In other words, their kids will be under surveillance of many unknowns. Also anybody might forget their phone in public places and what if some crazy person got it? That person can use this information and see all the communication and find out where the kids are going. As a result, these devices can be tools for hackers to use to harm the kids...
These parents might monitor their child’s activity online or constantly check their child’s texts. By doing this, they can really scare off their teenagers from talking to them, and make them anxious. They would constantly wonder if their parents were looking over their shoulder, watching everything they did. This would put a lot of emotional pressure on these teenagers, who are already dealing with lots of emotions through hormones and puberty changes. The children would begin to look for new ways to keep their life private from their parents, which can lead to things such as creating fake accounts to hide their activity online. This might lead to the children keeping more and more secrets from their parents, which, if revealed to said parents, can cause more problems in the relationship between parent and
In the mentioned previous case, the officers surveilled the house and discovered after about 5 days that the owner of the house has contact with children, which immediately gave them grounds and a reason to prepare a search warrant (Alison Crawford, 2014). Surveillance can be done by sitting stationary and observing a specific place or person, or it can be done through cameras doing it for the investigator. The benefits of surveillance are that it gives the investigators real, visual, usually recorded evidence that can help build grounds, give evidence, and be used in
Observation is very important in young children because that is how you get to know a child better. While observing how a child interacts with their peers, adults, and how they behave in different settings, you are getting to know the child without speaking to them.
... and are very indifferent about what child’s mates think, as far as their safety is on the agenda.
The child I observed was a seven-year-old girl in Year 2 who sat on the second highest ability table in a mixed class. While not in school, she lived a substantial distance away meaning she travelled to and from school by car and was often the first child to arrive in the morning and the last to leave in the afternoon. I will focus on the social and emotional development of this child who, from now onwards, will be referred to as C.
Each daycare has their own menu for the children’s breakfast and lunch. Through my observations, I have noticed that the “Don’t Worry Childcare” has a variety of food options throughout the month. For example, the children could either choose from fruit loops cereal, or frosted flakes for breakfast. The snacks eaten varies every day as well. For instance, the children ate milk and cookies one day, and cheese crackers another day. An example of lunch would be, milk, chicken fingers, French fries, green beans, and mixed fruit one day, and spaghetti, corn, peaches, and bread and butter another day. I observed the children eat ham, mashed potatoes, green beans, and peaches one day for lunch. All those food options seemed very delicious. Each meal and snack give the children an option to what they would like to drink. For instance, the children can pick
The Unwritten Laws of Engineering was first published in 1944 in three separate articles in the periodical Mechanical Engineering by W. J. King. The current edition was edited by James G. Skakoon in 2001. The three original articles are combined as three chapters in the book. James G. Skakoon notes in the preface that the laws still hold true after all this time. The book focuses on different phases in the career of many engineers in the first two chapters. The final chapter deals with personal issues and advice that pertains to both engineers and engineering managers
However, sensitive information that may be shared might later embarrass the children as they grow older and realize what is available on the internet. Such events may result in resentment and misunderstandings on both the children and the parents’ sides. According to Steinberg (2017) in “Sharenting: Children’s Privacy in the Age of Social Media,” there have been long-term issues and conflicts regarding parental sharing and whether children have the right to control what is shared about them. Another long-term problem raised by parental sharing is the idea of data collecting. Per “Children’s Privacy in the Big Data Era: Research Opportunities,” “These trends raise serious concerns about digital dossiers that could follow young people into adulthood, affecting their access to education, employment, healthcare, and financial services. Although US privacy law provides some safeguards for children younger than 13 years old online, adolescents are afforded no such protections” (Montgomery, Chester, & Milosevic, 2017, p.
