I'm not changing my story. I don't know if LoJack was installed. I am not up on the latest computer security software. If the parents knew, and that seems to be up for debate anyway, that the software was installed that would allow the school to remotely activate the webcams to locate missing of stolen computers, that still does not excuse their actions in activating a webcam on a computer NOT reported missing or stolen.
It does not excuse or justify the vice principal from chastising the student based on ill gotten information.
It in no way justifies blame shifting the responsibility of not being spied on in the privacy of their own home to the parents. I can't think of one good reason why a school official who may have inadvertently turned on the webcam and found they were observing the student in his own room, from simply turning off the camera and going to the parents and explaining what happened and apologizing and taking steps to ensure that it would not happen again.
Silly parents for trusting the school district. I guess that's a lesson well learned and one you yourself are advocating. DON'T TRUST PUBLIC SCHOOLS, EVER.
Government period. On that much we agree.
