My daughter found hidden cameras at a sleepover: ‘Kidnapper’s house’


A mom has put an end to sleepovers after her 11-year-old daughter discovered ‘security’ cameras in her friend’s bedroom.

While sleepovers are often seen as a rite of passage, this mom isn’t willing to take any chances after this incident.

She explained online:

“She told me that there were ‘security cameras’ in her friend’s room. She was told by the parents that they were for security purposes and that they were ‘turned off’.”

But the cameras weren’t off… and what happened next was alarming to say the least.

“My daughter said it was a ‘kidnapper’ house” 

The woman’s daughter noticed that the indicator light on one of the devices was still on, so she covered them with a shirt. But then, “the parent came into the room, removed the shirt, didn’t say anything, and left.”

Fortunately, the daughter was cautious enough not to change in the room and savvy enough to understand the potential risk. She called her mom immediately to be collected.

“They lied to her about the cameras”

Seeking clarity, the mom turned to an online parenting group, wondering if she was overreacting.

“I’m trying to wrap my head around why they would possibly need TWO cameras in their 11-year-old’s room. She is very well behaved, not involved with drugs or sex,” she said.

While she considered the possibility of a medical reason for the cameras, the presence of two other children at the sleepover made her feel it was inappropriate.

“My daughter felt like their house was a “kidnappers” house and I have never been prouder of her for following her gut, but also terrified,” she admitted. 

Commenters were just as disturbed.

“Seriously. I would have been five kinds of pissed,” one person wrote. 

“Her daughter was told not to worry because they were off, but it was obviously a lie since they came in and removed the shirt. That alone is weird and inappropriate,” said another.

“No offense to the people labeling this as “weird”, but that’s dangerously underselling how bad the situation is,” added a third.
