School Installs Fake Cameras in Girls Bathroom
Curse words on the walls and trash in the girl’s bathroom prompted staff at one school to scare the female students. They installed cameras to track the girls’ every movement. Only they never turned them on.
Parents in Michigan’s Blackman Township flipped when they heard there were cameras recording their daughters in the elementary school bathroom.
Fortunately, the superintendent (who says she wasn’t aware of the cameras’ installation) told Fox News it wasn’t operating at any time. It was the positioning of the cameras - directed at the sinks and toilet stall doors that was the point of the exercise. The kids were apparently supposed to be scared straight.
Considering how often people have been arrested for the real cameras (just a few months ago a camera in the female bathroom at a Massachusetts school got a male employee arrested), the question here is what sort of idiot came up with this great idea? True, the cameras didn’t work. But way to traumatize a kid and risk your job.
So the girls didn’t know the cameras were off - making them straighten up and fly right. Or, they didn’t know they didn’t work, and they had to walk around for the rest of the day wondering if some creep saw them with their pants down. Is that the kind of trauma worth putting on an elementary schooler in exchange for dry paper towels?
How about a simple lock on the front door of the room and a pass system so they can track who’s making the mess?
Would you accept the excuse that the cameras weren’t working?
