Family sues school district for allegedly spying on teen at home via laptop

This is a nightmare to the highest degree.

You have 2,300 potential victims.

 

"What are you turning on the webcam for? Why don't you take a seat over there."

 

Yes it is. There are two high schools in the Lower Merion school district - Lower Merion High - which I believe is Kobe's alma mater; and Harriton High, where all of this is going on.

 

All I had to see were the eyes before I was laughing. Well done.

 

Awesome.

"There's something you should know...I'm Chris Hansen with Dateline NBC, and we're doing a story on school administrators who are stupider than fuck."

 

I have a friend with a 14-year-old daughter. His daughter got a laptop for Christmas and the first thing he did was disable the camera on it.

Sounds like the administrators would be better off working with a Mr. Fuzzy Dunlop.

 

Oh, boy.

School's lawyer admits district took 56,000 images from student laptops:

Of course, the district claims that non of the images was inappropriate. Yet, the student who's suing them was photographed in his bed, and half-dressed.

 

So bad.

So very, very bad.

This lawyer better start researching how to handle a class action lawsuit because it is coming, if they are lucky.
