Any bets on whether the school administrators are desparately trying to find and erase all log files of their activities on spying on the kids?

Word of advise to anyone with a camera built into their computer: cover up the lens unless you are actually using it.

About six years ago I put software in my PCs and the ones my kids took places. The code allowed me to track a stolen machine. Good idea.

I think we have here a political situation here gone completely out of control. One really didn’t need access to a camera image to track a stolen machine. A bit of overkill IMHO.

What was it I heard on Fox? Each kiddy porn image downloaded, saved, or even just viewed carries a 5 year penalty?

So says their resident lawyer. He seemed to think any image glimpsed of a <18 year old changing in their bedroom would qualify...

OK, we have the laptop in our bedroom. Why? Because we have a writing desk and an outlet there, and it’s a flat space.

So, if I were one of the students given a laptop used to spy on me, theis is what I would do. Alledge that my adolescent body had been spied upon while in compromising positions (taking a shower, getting dressed/undressing) and let the school fight a couple hundred child porn cases.

I see no defense for what the school did.

I loved the kid’s response this morning. “They could of seen me naked” “Any old pervert could of been watching me”

Two lessons here:

1)Schools shouldn't be giving away laptops, especially to kids who desperately need to learn to read a book instead.

2)Never allow Trojan Horses from government-NEA run schools into your home.

Lots of stupidity committed by everyone involved in this episode.

But what, what, if a parent looks askew at junior and we DON’T have the camera on. How could we EVER save the poor child from such abuse.
