    That is bad form altogether.

    Since when is it a punishable offence to have a wánk in the privacy of your own home?

    On Friday, the youth told TV crews that the photo showed him eating his favorite candy at home."They were trying to allege that when Blake was holding two Mike & Ikes in his hand . . . that somehow he was involved in selling drugs," the family's lawyer, Mark S. Haltzman, told TV reporters.

    This is so wrong and the school deserves to be sued and those employed by the school that are involved should be sacked and not allowed work with children again.

    It's common enough here for some teachers to "spy" on their pupils on sites such as bebo and Facebook.

    Good News Everyone

    It turns out the Family managed to wrestle the images from the school in question.

    The kid was not suspended from school for **** - he was suspected on suspicion of drug trafficking :confused: Their evidence: images of him Eating Candy.

    PENN VALLEY, Pa. — The suburban Philadelphia teen who filed a webcam spying lawsuit against his school district says an administrator's denial of wrongdoing doesn't address his claims.

    Harriton High School sophomore Blake Robbins insists an assistant vice principal did take advantage of a security program to monitor his activity at home. The administrator, Lindy Matsko, says she didn't monitor students or authorize others to do so.

    But Robbins told reporters Wednesday that Matsko didn't deny confronting him about a picture the webcam took.

    The lawsuit filed last week claims Matsko talked to Robbins about "improper behavior" at home, citing images from the school-issued laptop's camera.

    Robbins says officials mistook candy for pills and thought he was selling drugs.

    District officials have said they only remotely activated webcams to locate missing laptops.

    Whats with these schools in American America?
    Every week seems to be another crazy story. I remember my teachers enjoyed the occasional power trip (some clearly got off on it) but they are taking the piss.

    I remember another story of a 13 year old girl been escorted out of class by police for not saying the "Pledge of Allegiance" in class!

    I didn't know you were American so you obliviously took personal offensive to what I said, well none was meant.
    I don't think anyone in Ireland (with a history of Christian Brothers, ironically the school I went too) could possibly stand with their heads held high complaining about another countries educational system.

    I was just trying to point why they seemed so keen to get the police involved over what is really a petty matter.

    Well ****, you dont need to make it personal, going after something as mundane as a post count.

    They would not be the operative word. This was all on the teacher, who is clearly a total toolbitch of some subculture of american society hellbent on petty issues like the Pledge. Plus, how many people suspect the unidentified girl-student is of middle eastern descent?

    She's entitled to her wild eyed view but forcing it on a child and making a mockery of her - i hope she gets thrown in jail.

    I think its safe to assume when I said "they" I wasn't referring to EVERY teacher in America.

    I didn't say that you did. I took your implication to mean the teacher and the school administrators. All Im saying is it wasnt exactly School Policy to phone the policy over the Pledge of Allegiance. The Teacher acted way out of all lines.
