A Queensland father has been left horrified after a camera was found hidden in a pool change room at his daughter’s primary school.
The man, who can not be identified because he is the father of a victim, described it as “the sickest thing you could possibly do”.
“They’ve targeted just the worst area,” the man said.
A student found the hidden webcam at the school in north Brisbane almost two weeks ago and immediately told teachers.
Parents have no idea how it got there or who may have been recorded.
An email from the school to parents confirmed a camera had been found on the school grounds.
The note also asked parents to “consider refraining from providing commentary about the issue on social media or other forums” while assuring “the safety and welfare of your children continues to be the highest priority for the school”.
“You’ve let down the safety of our kids,” the father said.
“You’ve breached the obligation to keep them safe.
“You’re meant to, as part of that, be as transparent as possible.”
Police have confirmed to 9News they are investigating and while they have found no evidence of images or recordings stored on the device, no memory card has been found yet.
It is also unclear whether the webcam may have been streaming online at any stage.
“Some sicko has got into my daughter’s school – a place where they’re meant to be safe and learn,” the father said.
“We got no answers, no one’s telling us anything, it’s just wrong.”
