Kids, Computers, and the Law

I heard this story on NPR yesterday. Basicly these kids are facing criminal charges for altering their school provided computers to do such things as get around filters and install chat programs.

Perhaps this is why I'm not a parent, but if I had a kid that successfully hacked his or her computer, I'd be proud of them.

I also have to reflect a bit on this story to wonder if the same fate could fall on public workers, who - god forbid - might use their work PCs for non-work approved activities.

Again, I'm just fascinated by this blurring of public and private lives - not sure where the answer lies, but I applaud the kids in the story for learning how to better use the tools they were given.
