From the Ypulse WTF Files

Thirteen teenagers face felonies for tampering with their school laptops. From the article:

"According to parent testimony and confirmed by an otherwise vaguely-worded letter from the Kutztown Police Department, students got hold of the system's secret administrative password and reconfigured their computers to achieve greater Internet and network access.

Some students used the newfound freedom to download music and inappropriate images from the Internet. [gasp]…

Walter J. Skavinsky [police officer] consulted with the Berks County District Attorney's office and recommended charges of "Computer Trespass," in violation of PA criminal code section 7615, which carries a third degree felony charge."

Oh and the accused were all freshman and soophomores. Can we say, overreaction? Pretty cool that the students got iBooks though.
