Digital parenting: designing children's safety

In this paper, I describe an ethnographic study of children and parents looking at issues of domestic privacy and security. I will provide an overview of parental rules and strategies for keeping children safe and briefly discuss children's perspective on their online safety and how their parents shared the domestic work and responsibility for protecting them. As part of the discussion, I will present implications for design, and reflect on the problematic state of ethics, privacy, ethics review boards when working with children.
