Assuming the scan always happen by a well-intentioned actor, and that no data is ever leaked, and that the children consent to the scanning... lots of assumptions here.
ANY human communication has the right to be private.
Imagine a proposal to install microphones on kids to record anything they say just in case. It would be outrageous, right? We focus on electronic communications just because if we want, we can break their privacy.
