  2. The person in charge of publishing a child personal info on a site is the website operator, but under the parents consent.
    A teacher may act on behalf of a parent in giving consent, acording to his/her school´s policies.
    If the updating of the online activities modify the terms of the use of their child´s information, the site operator have to notify the parents, and get consent again.
    A site must allow parents to review the personal information collected from their children and delete it if consent is revoked.

    The site can not be sure that a teacher is using students´ info inadequatelly, but, at least, they have to asure his/her identity before providing him/her the information.
