The Chinese netizens on the social media platforms were shocked when they found out about the “control freak” parents who landed in trouble after their adult daughter filed a complaint against them for installing a surveillance camera in her bedroom.

The story of the parents spying on their daughter emerged when the 20-year-old woman reached out to the Beijing police station for help on July 26.

The police officers were informed by the second-year university student that she had run away from her home because she “wanted freedom”.

The woman&nbsp;complained that a surveillance camera was installed by her parents in her bedroom and added that the couple would also beat her up and throw her mobile phone when she made any mistakes.

She added that because of their violent parenting she has been suffering from trauma. The 20-year-old&nbsp;said that she wished to find some part-time jobs in Beijing, save money and live independently without her parents.

The woman&nbsp;said that she went to the police because she feared that her parents would file a missing complaint for her and “make a scene” so she wanted the police to be informed about the situation beforehand.

Police officer Zhang Chuanbin comforted the 20-year-old&nbsp;and agreed that the&nbsp;behaviour of her parents was wrong. He then reached out to the parents and said that they should give their daughter some space and respect her privacy.

Beijing police later added that the girl's parents agreed to remove the spy camera and the student went back to her home.

<h2>Here's how netizens reacted to the incident</h2>

The behaviour of the parents was widely criticised on social media.

“So horrible. Having no private space at all despite being 20,” said a person on Weibo. 
“Children are independent individuals, not parents’ belongings – some Chinese parents should keep this in mind,” wrote another.

“Even a prison respects people’s privacy more than this,” commented&nbsp;a third user. “She was brave to fight back, and wise to go to the police to avoid trouble,” wrote a fourth user.

This is not the first case where Chinese parents have been caught installing surveillance cameras in the rooms of their children.

A mother was found to have installed a surveillance camera in the room of her son. When her son took the Gaokao University entrance exam, she thanked the camera for “accompanying my son for six years”.

A 14-year-old&nbsp;boy in&nbsp;China's&nbsp;Jiangsu&nbsp;complained to the police in 2019 against his father who wished to install a surveillance camera in his room, saying that he had “violated his privacy”.

Parents install spy camera in adult daughter's bedroom, student reports it to police

A former employee at Australia’s embassy in Bangkok was indicted over claims that placed multiple spy cameras were in women’s bathrooms at the building, local media reported.

The Royal Thai Police had last month arrested Bank Thamsongsana, an Australian and Thai dual national, who worked as an IT worker at the mission.

He was sacked on January 6, a day after he was arrested. Thamsongsana can face up to10 years in prison if found guilty of sexual and public nuisance offences, The Sunday Morning Herald newspaper reported.

According to reports, a probe had begun last year by the embassy and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade in Canberra after women employees found a tiny memory card in the bathrooms on the ground floor building.

Following the discovery, over 60 women lodged complaints with Royal Thai Police over concerns that they may have been recorded.

Staff were told the card was empty and no cameras were found installed, but an investigation of other devices turned up vision taken inside one of the bathrooms.

The Sydney Morning Herald reported that the cameras set up in the bathrooms were about the size of two 20-cent pieces, with the capacity to record for about two hours but not to transmit.

The cameras used were not permanently installed, staff have been told, but it’s unclear for how long and with what frequency they were being placed near women’s toilets and showers.

Meanwhile, the incident is being viewed as a major security lapse.

“As this is an ongoing legal matter, the department is unable to comment further. The welfare and privacy of all staff remains a priority for the department and we continue to provide appropriate support,” a spokesperson for Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade was quoted as saying.
