What is the biblical basis against a child's right to privacy?

The so-called "right to privacy" is a hot-button issue in many modern societies, and within that discussion, the question of a *child's* right to privacy is often raised. Christians take positions in the debate, and at least sometimes point to the Bible to make their case. Evangelical author Edward T. Welch writes: > Scripture seems to lean in the direction of rejecting the concept of privacy in the parent-child relationship. ([*Addictions*](https://books.google.com/books?id=racGAAAACAAJ) , 95) Welch doesn't provide any explicit biblical support for this claim, so my question is: **what is the biblical basis against the idea of a child's right to privacy in relation to their parents?** Here I am talking about children who are legal minors living with their parents, and I'm specifically asking about their privacy within the parent-child relationship. The question of a child's privacy within the church or society at large is a separate issue. I'm also focusing on the question of a *right* to privacy, not whether it is biblical for parents to *give* their child privacy in certain situations.
