Laptop tracking programme goes awry

PHILADELPHIA: A suburban school district here 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.

The Lower Merion School District concedes its efforts to find missing school-issued laptops was misguided, and officials vowed anew on Friday to release the findings of their internal investigation, “good and bad.”
