Who knows? I never questioned any of it. The daughter was extremely smart. She was very shy.
Once she warmed up to me, she was very sweet. I liked her parents. They cared about their daughter. They always came to the school’s open house. Anything involving her education they were interested in, otherwise not so much. It was ‘all business’ with them.
They were not very social with the other parents. They didn’t volunteer. They were private people. They didn’t chaperone any field trips.
The principal of the school knew the parents. It was an expensive private school. I did what I was told by the parents and the principal. I never tested anything that I was told. I didn’t want to be facing a lawsuit.
There were two teachers at the school that were taken to court in the school. One for ‘gossiping’ about parents personal information, upcoming divorcees, the husband having an affair, etc This teacher was not sensitive regarding privacy of families.
The other for telling about a student’s personal info. Equally as bad.
These teachers got a strong warning! If it happened again they would be fired.
The parents didn’t sue the school. They went after the teachers! The fine was a lot of money considering we didn’t make much money as a teacher!
It’s so interesting. I had several of the Saints football coaches’ kids over the years. They all drive really expensive cars, live in very nice homes. The kids will tell teachers family ‘secrets’ sometimes. No one has a perfect family. I kept my mouth shut!
Can a Caregiver take pictures? I think they are considered "mandated reporters". So if they see something that needs to be reported maybe so. How do u know the person is taking pictures? Have u asked them not to?
This is what I found
"In the US there is no law against a guest taking pictures in your house. It can be considered rude if they are told ahead of time not to do it."
I don't agree with this. Your home your rules. This person may be casing the place to come back and rob you.😊Seriously though, I don't see how anyone would legalize this. Its private property.
Really this is such a fine line. It seems to be all in the interpretation. There are contradictions to what I posted. One says you have a right to say no if on your property and the person has to abide by that. Seems like it all has to do with "Expectation of privacy". I would think that goes with someone taking pictures of the inside of your home. You have the right to say no. It also mentions in an article that even though restaurants are considered public they also are privately own and as such can post "No picture taking, no videos". So maybe you can do that. Best thing check with a lawyer, legal aid, and see what your state says. I really can't imagine that you don't have rights in your own home.
Actually where it’s legal or not is going to depend on the law in OPs state because there are parts of a house that are considered common areas and if you have permission to be inside the house, then the expectation of privacy isn't exactly there. You can pretty much take pictures anywhere you are allowed to be however in a private home, even though it may legal, it doesn’t mean it’s right. So if you are the one having pictures taken in the home, you are certainly allowed to asked the person to step & make them leave.
Duffy, this is hard to understand. Is the picture of something that is illegal, like drugs? Or are you asking if taking any picture is illegal? How is the home care person trying to use it against you? Do they come from an agency that you can complain to? More information would help.
No, the caregiver cannot take a picture without consent, it is a violation of HIPPA. The caregiver would report issues to her nurse supervisor. The supervisor would make a home visit or report to APS. No company would allow an aide to take pictures due to liability.
One thing that I just remembered. The contract for my dads AL actually said that they have permission to take pictures and use them. I crossed this off, I don't think that anyone should gain unlimited usage of your likeness without you knowing how it will be used.
I would read your agency contract, it may give them permission.
Google for more info on this topic. If a facility, each will have. Their own rules. A person has to state that they do not allow photos in their house; but there are people who will rudely continue to take photos. Some people will persist and then post to social media.
Here's mine. Those FBI parents may have actually bee in in the witness protection program.😀
