A:
If your neighbor videotaped your two-year-old daughter while she was naked on your property, this is a serious concern that may involve privacy and child protection laws. In North Carolina, it's illegal to photograph or record a minor in a state of undress without consent, and this can potentially be considered a criminal offense.
First, document the incident. If you have any evidence of the recording or witnesses, make sure to keep this information safe. Then, you should report the incident to the local police. They can investigate the matter and determine if any laws have been violated.
You might also consider speaking with an attorney. An attorney can advise you on your legal rights and options, which may include pursuing a civil suit for invasion of privacy or other related claims depending on the specifics of the situation.
Additionally, it's important to ensure your daughter's safety and privacy going forward. Consider taking steps to secure your property, such as installing curtains or blinds, and be mindful of visibility from outside the home.
Remember, protecting the safety and privacy of your child is paramount. Taking prompt and appropriate action is important in addressing such serious concerns.
