School spy cam -latest from Philly news - School spied in student's

[old mark]

computer cams-acknowledges this was done over 40 times "to find missing/stolen laptops", but this kid's computer was never reported stolen...


The school told one family that their son was selling drugs based on pics of him with bagsof "pills"...turned out to be Ike & Mike candies.

School is being sued, FBI is investigating, parents now think this has been happening for years, fear kids were being targeted.

If you have a school computer at home, tape over your cam.

1. Watergate, Palingate, Scholasticamgate.... these people are going

to do time.

[elleng]

4. 'These people' school superintendent/teachers?

[Fumesucker]

5. Whoever was responsible for taking pictures/videos of people outside of school..

If the superintendent or the teachers are responsible then the answer to your question is yes..

I suspect though that it's the principal or someone else with access to the webcams in the laptops.

6. They said only 2 tech support people had access. Yeah, right. n/t

[Fumesucker]

9. Makes you wonder how the principal ended up with a picture of the kid with "drugs"..

They are going to try and pin this on some low level IT people when everyone knows the fish rots from the head.

7. When I was in HS in '69, our Asst. Principal

was noted for going through the parking lot during th school day and searching people's cars.

8. All of them... janitors, teachers, shool nurse, window washers,

boiler room mechanic and the soccer coach. Lock 'em up and throw away the key!!!!!

[Fumesucker]

2. Nah, leave it uncovered, wave around baggies full of small candies..

And then sue them for everything they've got..

That's going to be the only way to bring this kind of thing to a halt.

14. And plastic baggies full of catnip

Maybe sit in front of the computer with powdered donut residue around one's mouth and nostrils...


ahhhh...new car and vacation home in the tropics....

10. Yeah, yesterday. There was a lot of argument about whether they were

recording sites visited or actually taking pics, and they were taking pics. Who, when for how long and how many remains to be seen...
My post today was to clear up that misunderstanding, if anyone is interested.

I posted on our thread yesterday.

11. I should wake up before posting.

Sorry didn't see your name but was alarmed that a DUer's child attended that school.

Not punking your input at all. :-)

15. I often post while half asleep.

Makes things pretty interesting sometimes when I come back later and find out who I pissed off.:-)

I am afraid this is going to be much worse than they are saying right now....

12. Busted for Ike & Mikes?

Wait 'til a green thumb in the family is starting heirloom tomatos from seed.

[Fumesucker]

13. Yep, someone will get their doors kicked in in the middle of the night..

Maybe get their dogs shot like the mayor a year or two ago.
