gordon ramsay has been busted spying on his daughter with a camera. His daughter was "revising" in her room a lot with her boyfriend and wanted to make sure that was all that was going on.
Do you reckon that's ok?
Would you use a camera to make sure you kids weren't getting up to no good or to keep them safe?
That's a tricky one. I wouldn't set up a camera as such, but I do have the ability to track my daughters phone at any time, and if I wanted to do so (it's not something I've considered), I could get it to take a picture (or, for that matter, a sound recording) and send it to me without her knowledge so I could see what is happening wherever she is.
I have added the above facility purely for my own peace of mind, to make sure she is safe as she has a habit of forgetting to text me to let me know where she is if she is out somewhere she doesn't know - she does know I have the ability to track her, or to remotely turn her phone off silent, and she does understand my reasoning, and also that I will only use it very rarely.
Thinking about it, with Ramsey's reputation for temper/language, if I was his daughter's boyfriend, I wouldn't want to go near his house, let alone do anything untoward with his daughter within his house. :unsure:
I personally think we have to respect our children's privacy whenever possible, after all as parents it's our duty to set an example.
There's also an issue of trust. It would have been much better had he just been up front with his daughter and discussed his fears....if he was so concerned then a bedroom ban for the boyfriend would have been more appropriate.
