This sort of oppressive situation is my childhood in a nutshell. And you're right, it's entirely unethical, and in combination with other factors can be used as a factor in psychological abuse. I know I at least am traumatized from it, and surveillance was definitely one of many signifigant factors.

People really underestimate the effects constant surveillance has on a kid.

Exactly. Kids grown in high volume of surveillance (e.g. my nieces) end up being more aggressive towards rules, which creates people who think rules are there to be broken.
