The row over a Philadelphia school district accused of secretly spying on pupils through laptop cameras escalated today after it acknowledged capturing more than 56 000 images of its students, many of them in their homes.
When the scandal first broke, it was believed that only a few pictures had been taken of one pupil, Blake Robbins. But court papers released this week showed that thousands of images were taken of Robbins and other students.
Robbins and his parents have filed an action against the school district of Lower Merion in an affluent suburb of Philadelphia. Court papers from Robbins’ lawyer said that at first it was thought that the laptops’ "peeping Tom" technology produced a few images but they found more than 400 of Robbins, including images "showing him partially undressed and sleeping".
An administrator at the school, one of the few with authority to track the laptops, was refusing to answer questions, citing her constitutional right to remain silent.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that 38 500 of the images came from six laptops that had been reported missing from the Harriton gym in September 2008. These apparently helped the police catch a suspect. Another set of images were from cameras in laptops which employees were responsible for their failing in tracking or forgetting to turn off.
The court papers, filed by Robbins’ lawyer, said that the technology was activated between October 20 and November 4 last year, with most of the 400 shots of him while he was in his home, and included his family. "There were additional webcam(网络摄影机)pictures and screen shots taken of Blake Robbins which, to date, have not been recovered because the evidence was purged(删除)by the IT department," the court papers say.
His lawyer is trying to obtain access to the administrator’s home computer to establish whether she downloaded any of the pictures. The court papers allege she may be a voyeur(偷窥狂).
In one e-mail, when an IT person commented on how the viewing of the webcam pictures and screen shots from a student’s computer was like. "It’s a soap opera of little Lower Merion School District," the administrator allegedly replied, "I know. I love it. "
The main point of the passage is that______.
