A ‘Peeping Tom’ would be arrested for leering into your window.
Should not a similar rule apply here?

No. This is not the same as a Peeping Tom case. The student and parents authorized the use of the camera. The lesson to learn here is that the camera is the epitome of objective as it shows everything within the view of the camera. To prevent this, either have a blank wall as a backdrop or put something up (like a sheet) to prevent the camera from picking up things in the background that others cannot view. Put the back of the chair up against the wall and the desk in front of the chair. Hang nothing on the wall or remove all items from the wall. Never move the lens of the camera from the direction of the wall. If asked to show something, never move the camera but move the item to the camera to be shown (an item might be a drawing for homework etc.).
Never should one use a computer camera with an open room in the background as there is too much personal information given away. Having this type of camera etiquette/rules/policy will ensure that something like this will more than likely never happen in the future. Green screens (even those that are not green in color) can possibly cause future problems as well, as the image can be digitally manipulated.
