If you look at both the EC and the EU, they've actually undertaken a number of studies recently that have expressly rooted privacy for children in the Convention on the Rights of the Child, even if you look at something like cyber-bullying where, in the Canadian context, we've been far too ready to invade children's privacy in order to protect them. Because of this commitment to the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the European discussion is much more about balancing the need to protect with the benefits of ensuring that young people have privacy in online spaces precisely because privacy is a proto-right. It allows them to access information, learn about their own culture, and these other things. I think there are some really interesting models there.
