Under consideration PE2162: Prevent strangers from filming or photographing children in public play parks

Background information

In recent weeks, there has been a disturbing rise in incidents where children are being filmed or photographed in public spaces, such as playgrounds, parks, and even outside their schools, by unknown individuals. Parents and communities across the country are growing increasingly concerned about the safety and privacy of their children, yet current laws do little to prevent these invasive and unsettling actions.

We believe that children deserve protection from being filmed or photographed without consent in public spaces. That is why we are calling for new legislation to make it illegal for anyone to film or photograph minors in public settings without parental or guardian permission. This change is necessary to safeguard the well-being of our children.

By signing this petition, you are supporting a crucial step toward stronger protections for our children. Let’s stand together and demand action before more children become targets of unwanted surveillance and exploitation.
