The Silent Stalker

By Sarah Dickser


With today's new technology there is so much that can be done in and around our homes for instance, new technology was created for babysitting a home. What does babysitting a home mean?

Today many people are finding that after leaving their home with a babysitter they have found their children to be fine but finding some of their things missing, jewelry, toys and house hold items, to stop this problem they created a camera that can be installed like a security system. The only problem with this system is that it is illegal to use this program without the babysitter knowing. Many people are disagreeing and are saying that it should not be illegal- what do you think? Let me give you some pros and cons and then you decide why it should either be made legal or illegal:

When I mention security systems I am specifically talking about security cameras, or spy cameras as some people have been known to call them. The only problem with this system is that it is illegal to use this program without anyone you have invited into your home knowing. Many people are disagreeing and are saying that it should not be illegal- what do you think? Let me give you some pros and cons and then you decide why it should either be made legal or illegal:

So leads the question- what if you did not invite someone into your home and you do feel like you are being stalked, is it legal then? Well the whole reason that this product was even created was to prevent crime; you just have to make sure you know the legal ramifications for using such a product.

Could another reason be that you want to make sure your kids are safe while you are not home? Most babysitters that are hired are either from; a babysitting agency, a neighborhood connection, referred by a friend or associate. With some companies and especially an online agency when you find someone that you like, you sure do not know them as much as you may like, or trust to watch your kids, so you are going to want a device to make sure that they are not jut sitting around on their phone or iPod or worse, not watching or even abusing your kids. The person you hired to watch your kids should be playing with your kids, you are going to want to also make sure that they treat your kid's right and are not crude, or in-appropriate. This makes for a very good reason that moms and parents are pushing this technology , to be legal instead of illegal.

A good point that they have for making sure that they babysitter knows that this technology will be watching and filming the job that they do unless not telling them and just having the program illegal the good point to this is that even if you do not have one of these programs the babysitter will if told with think that you do have one and will be more cautious to what they do and say around your kids, and how they act with your kids. So there are many bonuses to having one of these programs, and many people are trying to make sure that either they stay illegal or become legal depending on your point of view that many have been shown in this article.

Before going out and buying the most expensive hidden camera on the market do your research and plan out just what you are trying to accomplish with this camera. If you have someone stalking you, go to the police station let them know what is happening and what you plan to do about it, they will give you suggestions and tips that will help your cameras recording to be used in court to stop the stalker.
