@BethanyCharlene What an invansion of privacy! Holy hell, I hear about such terrible shit going on in other people’s schools, I’m glad no teachers do this at my school, none that I know of anyways.
TO THOSE ADMINISTRATORS: What you did is 100% illegal!!! It is also highly actionable and I hope every student sues you into receivership!!! You dumb, stupid morons. NEXT TIME you idiots have a brilliant idea that sounds like it is unlawful– CALL A LAWYER, so he or she can explain to you that such things are very illegal.
At my school, when they took away cell phones they went thru pictures and texts and if there was alcohol pics or sex pics..they tried to get them in trouble. but this is beyond disgusting, illegal and ick just why. and whats with the “homework” excuse.
it happens because people dont think about it.. well me I would simply reinstall the os with my own copy encypt the hardrive and install a good firewall to block them.. if my kid had to have a computer Id buy it my self and image it so they cant add anything to it without wipeing the drive every reboot..
When I was in seventh grade everyone in my class was loaned a laptop for the school year (to take home and use at school) And it was a project to see if using them helped our schooling.
But nothing fucked up like this happened. If they really wanted to check if they were doing homework, they would scan the internet history.
most likely the pervs were using it to spy on horny teens who were masturbating to online porn or having cybersex with their webcams. there’s no other reason why they’d install such a “feature”, checking on “homework” my ass.
I am a student at lower merion high school, the other high school in the district. This whole story is here is very little conclusive information known. the school district only activated the webcam because blake robbins STOLE the laptop. he never paid the insurance so he was illegally keeping it at his home.
p.s. no one was spied in stages of dress or undress. there was an FBI investigation, and nothing of this sort was found. RELAX WITH YOUR ONE TRACK MINDS EVERYBODY
I read some more about this. Apparently, all the laptops had an anti-theft program installed, which allowed administrators to remotely turn on the camera and take pictures or video of whoever is holding the laptop. A pretty good idea when you are lending laptops to an entire school, and don’t want them to get stolen. So where did it get wrong? Well, students noticed the cameras turning on very often. So some creepy admin was using the anti-theft feature to spy on the teens. Sick!

@nintendogsyo shit, I walk up to my laptop naked if I get a message while I’m changing or just got out of the shower.

and thats has nothing to with this vid
@snowblazer12
but yet there are teachers who’ve slept with their students that we hear on the news at least once a year. =)

I change clothes in front of my open laptop. My laptop is open in my room, I get up walk back to my clothes and change. I know thats just so weird!
I’m not sure about anyone else, but I don’t change clothes in front of my OPEN laptop.
This is pretty disgusting nonetheless. I am happy I go to a different high school. xD
I live near Lower Merion, and seriously, it’s ridiculous. So glad I don’t go there… !

just goes to show that Pedo’s are running the schools, think about the spying they do that no one has found out about yet

These motherfokers need to get a life for violating preteen sluts freedoms!!!
he’s right. this is bullshit. if i were one of the students, all of the administrators would have a visit from me.
please tell me more about the S.A.S.S phone-Cellphone system…i actually think it has been used on my previous cell
Sue everybody in sight.
@CommandoDude
That would be fun, so we can use all that ammo we have been stacking for the past decade.
Dont you get it: They are using a feature in Macbooks…developed by a private company. Now, how often do you thinks that happen?
Messed up… wow…
Just close the fucking laptop
