It just gets better and better. OUT OF CONTROL.


FBI Investigating School District Accused Of Secretly Activating Webcams Inside Students' Homes - cbs3.com
===============
Blake Robbins told CBS3 on Friday that a school official described him in his room and mistook a piece of candy for a pill.

"She described what I was doing," he said. "She said she thought I had pills and said she thought that I was selling drugs."

Robbins said he was holding a Mike and Ike candy, not pills.

Holly Robbins said a school official told her that she had a picture of Blake holding up what she thought were pills.

"It was an invasion of privacy; it was like we had a Peeping Tom in our house," Holly Robbins told WPVI-TV. "I send my son to school to learn, not to be spied on."

Well to be honest everything always get's "better and better" when you hear just one side of story.

I'll wait until everything is investigated before jumping on a bandwagon. Especially one headed by a kid who got in trouble at school.

You trust the adults secretly peaking into kids bedrooms and I'll trust the kid doing his homework eating Mike and Ike's.

There is no story that can justify the school activating a webcam so they can view a student in his own home particularly when neither the student nor his parents were aware that the school had to capacity to do so.

I find it really amazing that, when installing spy software, activating cameras, or viewing photographs taken on private property without students/parent's express written consent no teacher, administrator, or IT professional ever stopped and thought to themselves "Hey, isn't this INCREDIBLY ****ING ILLEGAL!??"

How about "Hey, isn't this INCREDIBLY ****ING WRONG!??" How can they convince themselves that they have a moral right -- let alone a legal right -- to do something like that?

Which "allegedly" happend. People seem to be missing that part. What? Nobody ever lied? Right now I don't know squat about what happened. IF the school district acted inappropriately then they should be punished. Everything beyond that is just a bunch of ignorant blahblahblah
