If the patient wants a WebCam in their room, the family must provide a camera and privacy concerns must be addressed.

Oklahoma was the first state to allow hidden cameras in patient rooms with Ohio and Texas soon afterward. South Carolina is considering the issue right now with legislation before lawmakers.

But abuse is abuse!
