Mogilev Authorities Propose Kindergarten Cameras, Parents Expected to Pay

Mogilev, Belarus – A proposal by local authorities in Mogilev to install surveillance cameras in kindergartens has ignited public debate, particularly over the contentious issue of parental funding for these installations. The initiative, which aims to enhance security in preschool facilities, stipulates that the costs associated with purchasing and installing the video equipment would be borne by parents. The discussion follows a recent incident in a Mogilev kindergarten, which has brought the issue of child safety and oversight to the forefront. While authorities have confirmed that the installation of video cameras is under consideration, they have yet to provide clear explanations regarding how the recorded footage will be stored, accessed, and utilized. Concerns have been raised among parents and the public about the potential implications of such surveillance. Questions persist regarding data privacy, the specific scenarios in which the footage would be reviewed, and whether the recordings could, in any unforeseen circumstances, become an instrument of pressure rather than purely a tool for safety. The lack of detailed guidelines on the use of these recordings continues to fuel public inquiry and calls for greater transparency from local officials.
