然而，代理校长玛丽 哈里逊却为之辩护，称此举能够确保学生的安全。
"The school has installed CCTV cameras in key areas including -corridors and the perimeter of the site. There are no cameras in -toilets or changing areas," she said, "this has been one of a number of measures taken by the school in ensuring children's safety and minimizing damage in and around the site.
她说：“学校在走廊以及周边关键区域安装了监控相机，但是卫生间以及换衣间等地方没有相机。这是学校采取保护学生的措施之一，尽量减小他们受到伤害的可能性。”
