So it looks like the school that collected all of those web cam pics and chat transcripts is going to get it big time by both the parents and the FBI.
Despite a policy that stated they would only activate remote web cam viewing and collection of chat transcripts on laptops that were reported missing or stolen, they actually routinely eavedropped and peeped on students in their own bedrooms.
Here are some pertinent excerpts from the latest news article:
A suburban Philadelphia school district snapped secret webcam pictures of a high school
student when he was partially undressed or sleeping in his bed, and captured instant messages he exchanged with friends, the student charged in court papers this week.
The LANrev software program took screen shots and webcam photos every 15 seconds when activated. The district thereby captured over 400 screen shots and webcam images of Harriton High School sophomore Blake Robbins, according to court filings this week in his lawsuit.
"Thousands of webcam pictures and screen shots have been taken of numerous other students in their homes, many of which never reported their laptops lost or missing," Haltzman wrote in a motion filed Thursday.
Haltzman called Cafiero a possible "voyeur" and wants access to her personal computer to see if she downloaded any student images. To support the charge, he cited her response to an e-mail from a colleague who said viewing the webcam pictures was like watching "a little LMSD soap opera."
"I know, I love it!" Cafiero allegedly replied.
