The official, who asked not to be identified, said the FBI became involved in the case after a family filed a lawsuit against the Lower Merion School District, located outside of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The family accused an assistant principal at Harriton High School of watching their son through his laptop's webcam while he was at home and unaware he was being watched. The family also says the school official used a photo taken on a laptop as the basis for disciplining the student. In a statement issued late Friday, District Superintendent Christopher McGinley rejected the allegations.[url=http://www.wow-leveler.com]powerleveling aion[/url] "At no time did any high school administrator have the ability or actually access the security-tracking software," he said. "We believe that the administrator at Harriton has been unfairly portrayed and unjustly attacked in connection with her attempts to be supportive of a student and his family. The district never did and never would use such tactics as a basis for disciplinary action." A school official said it was a mistake not to make families aware of a feature allowing the school to monitor[url=http://www.wow-leveler.com/aion/aion-power-leveling.html]power leveling aion[/url] the computer hardware. The law enforcement official with knowledge of the case told CNN that the FBI will try to determine whether federal wiretap or computer intrusion laws were violated. But FBI spokesman J.J. Klaver said he could not disclose the existence of an investigation. [img]http://www.cnn.com/video/bestoftv/2010/02/20/nr.spy.computers.cnn.576x324.jpg[/img]
