Startling new evidence has emerged in the ongoing case of the
Lower Merion school district in Philadelphia accused of spying
on students in their homes via school issued laptops.
The lawyer for the family of the student whose school issued
computer was allegedly remotely accessed while in his home,
says that thousands of images were taken, including photographs
of other students in their homes, web sites they visited, and
excerpts of their online chats.
The case, Blake
J. Robbins v. Lower Merion School District (PDF),
was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania on Tuesday, February 16, 2010.
According to the filing, the actions of the school district
were exposed when one of the school’s vice principals
disciplined Mr Robbins’ son for “improper behavior
in his home,” and used a photo taken from the computer
camera as evidence.
Though the district superintendent had denied that the laptops
were remotely accessed for any purpose other than to track ones
that had been lost or stolen, a new motion filed in the suit
against the district asserts that the camera on Robbins' laptop
took photos of the boy partially undressed and also as he slept
in his bed (see image above).
"Each time, it fired the images off to network servers
at the school district." reports
the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The motion states that the system was designed to take a new
picture every 15 minutes, along with a screenshot and a recording
of the IP address, in order that the machine could be located.
It also contends that employees at district offices with access
to the images ogled them and reveled in the tracking software.
One staffer referred to the software as like "a little
LMSD soap opera," in an e-mail to Carol Cafiero, the administrator
running the program.
"I know, I love it," Cafiero is quoted as having
replied.
The Robbins family have suggested that Cafiero, currently suspended,
"may be a voyeur" who may have downloaded some of
the laptop photos of students on her home computer.
Cafiero's lawyer disputes the charge, and has stated that
the claims have been falsified to prop up a failing case against
the school district.
The district has declined to comment on the new motion and
says it is not aware of any misuse of the images taken from
the laptops. The case is ongoing.
