Smile! You’re on TV
Kid’s parents had surveillance cameras in every room, including their kids bedrooms. Anytime we were in a room without a parent, the surveillance camera had to be on.
There were many times I’d walk into the kitchen after being in the game room or my friend’s bedroom and see the TV on streaming surveillance from the room I was just in (it even streamed sound!). A friend of mine got kicked out of the house because he jokingly put a napkin over one of the cameras.
There were also times where if one of us said something the parents didn’t like while the cameras were on (they never told us when they were turned on either) a parent would burst into the room and yell at us for saying something they didn’t like. Story credit: Reddit / Mediocre-banana
