what are my rights?

[utopian_dreams]

ok, i was watching this show they had on overseas about parents spying on their kids.
These suspicious parents would basically team up with the show and they would go around recording what these kids' did, where they went, and whom they hung out with..etcetc.. for a whole day.

I would be upset if i were filmed secretly and then tevelised on tv for the whole world to see.
So what are my rights?
If i were a victim, what can i do??
Could i demand the tapes back and demand them NOT to air it...
or is it their property and they can do as the please?
would sueing be an option??

hmmm.. im curious..so what are your thoughts?

if your a certain age you don't realy have the rights as an adult would have.Meaning your guardian is in charge if your too young.:023:

Yeah, I think that's true...that you don't have those rights until you're of age, meaning 16 in Canada and 18 in the States. I could be wrong tho...

[mister-peenutt]

oh god that is terrible! .. i knoe if my parents did that to me i would demand the tapes back and a settlement.. but then again they would prolly kick me out of the house if they saw some shit:031:

[msPiggy]

i'm with mr peanut on that! i'd be kicked outta my house so fast! but i'd be really pissed off if my parents did that!:023:

I agree with Serotonin in this issue.

I think most kids take it for granted that they have 'rights'. Until you reach a certain age, you have no rights as your parents/guardian are responsible for your actions.

Once YOU are held fully responsible for your actions, then you have rights.

I may have been too general here as there are issues (ie sexual abuse) where you as a youth obviously have rights.

hmmm thats not right man... I wouldn't like if someone was spyin' on me... not right man... and if my rents would do that to me... I'd be pretty angry...

my mom would not only yell @ me, she'd literally kick my sorry ass. as for my dad, he'd sucka punch me...ouch...LoL...

In other counties kids have no rights...

HERE:

If it is belived to be against the welfare of the child, and the child welfare peeps get wind of this then the parents can be arrested and the tape taken....

[~lazee_grrl~]

i'm glad to hear that the tape could be taken away but not the parents taken away....but if they ever spied..i'd be really mad!!...where's the trust??..
but then again..i abuse the trust so yeah but stil...getting caught doin stuff would suck~!

Can someone say The Truman Show?

I don't think it's fair at all. People NEED privacy. It's a fortress.

[BeatFarmer]

yeah seratonin and mchammered are so right. youths don't have as much rights as we'd like to think.


if they did that to me i don't think i'd ever speak to them again!! I'd disown them. i don't want them to find out about my secret volunteer job at the homeless shelter. cuz then i'd be in REAL trouble.........
