US school accused of web spying

US school accused of web spying

Parents in the US have accused a school of spying on children by remotely activating webcams on laptops.

A couple from Pennsylvania have filed a lawsuit against a school district which gave laptops to its high school pupils.

They say their son was told off by teachers for "engaging in improper behaviour in his home" and that the evidence was an image from his webcam. ...

I've heard it all now.

Teachers monitoring teenagers in their homes, and ticking them off for pot noodling in their own bedrooms.

or should that be or perhaps

Miami Herald has this from AP.

The Feds are on the case. The lawyers are going to love this.

Oh, the 'inappropriate behaviour' the remote operator thought that a piece of candy the kid had was a pill. Oh, FFS!

How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
