Ever since we first sat at any device we have been monitored. By the programme (Facebook), our employer (using a colleague to spy), or even watching the employee and not telling them. Our lives have *never* been private.
If they want to hear me ask about my brother's health, or my sister's move across the country, they can join the club! Or they can read about my reading St John of the Cross, Robert Browning, or the letters of St Francis Xavier SJ, or even Marcus Aurelius I will be delighted to join the chat.
So, please, no more nonsense about any 'rights' we may think we have when this is simply another illusion fostered by whoever wants to join the obfuscation.
In the usual phrase, 'I have but one soul to save (mine) and one Judge' when I shall be judged at the pearly gates. Am I worried? No. Because I mind my own business, try to be kind, try to do and think exactly what I should (10 Commandments and The Beautitudes), and probably fail therein just like everyone else.
In our family we always assume there's no expectation of any privacy given to us. Not all children behave in this way. Usually they have very varied interests that are not based on self.
Photographs can be so easily manipulated and I remember one policeman telling me about this idea in a fraud case he was concerned with. He said it was unusual, but it did happen.
Well encrypted chats are private. Unless they create backdoor or ways around that. Realistically, the surveillance will happen on device (local memory) like Apple already proposed - so before any message can be encrypted.
Once, an employee tried to play with my cursor while I was inputting accounting data. I folded my arms and watched the screen and the whole department giggled. The cursor became still, and he entered the room.

Are you also OK with your children having no privacy and adult men watching their naked selfies and private chats?
Are private chats really so private?
