School in Russia Criticized for Installing CCTV in Women's Restrooms, but Some Parents Support It

Dream - A school in Bolshoy Kamen City, Russia has become the target of criticism from students and parents after installing CCTV cameras inside the women's toilet. The School Management placed three surveillance cameras that are connected to security officers.

According to Oddity Central, actually the camera was not installed inside the toilet cubicle. From the circulating pictures, the CCTV was installed in the corner of the toilet room.

Although so, the existence of surveillance cameras in this toilet room disturbs the students' privacy. Moreover, the cameras are only placed in the women's toilet, while the men's room is not equipped with any surveillance cameras at all.

The school also did not explain why only the girls' toilet was monitored, they claimed that the camera was necessary to ensure that students do not fight, smoke, or engage in other activities that are not allowed in school.

The school also insists that the toilet cubicles are not monitored, so technically this is not a privacy violation. Although denied regarding privacy violations, many parents expressed their anger over the school's decision on social media.

They claim that if children want to break the rules, they can do it in the toilet cubicle or even cover the camera. Despite no official complaints being filed, extensive media coverage forced the school to temporarily disable the CCTV system. The school board will soon decide whether to continue using it or dismantle it completely. Reports of the existence of CCTV cameras in toilets generally receive criticism. However, the Russian newspaper MK reported that many local residents actually support such surveillance models.

The reason is that the camera prevents children from vandalizing the newly renovated school. Some parties also argue that the presence of CCTV will make students think twice before bullying fellow students, smoking, or using illegal drugs.

"Yes, our parents support it," said Tatyana, a student from the coastal city of Spassk-Dalniy. "The toilets in our school were just renovated, a month later, during a parent-teacher meeting, the school principal complained that the toilet paper and liquid soap dispensers were broken. There is always chaos in the toilets! It is impossible for a normal child to go to the toilet during break time. There is always smoke or fighting. "Before, the principal could enter and disperse the children, but now everyone is afraid! What if parents and their children accuse them of doing something..." Tatyana continued.

This incident is not the first time it has happened in a school in Russia and has become a major news in the national media for installing cameras in the students' toilet. School No. 49 in Ufa also faced criticism last year for the same reason.
