Specifically what kind of activity that was hasn't been disclosed (though there's no shortage of floating around out there). Regardless, the boy's parents say they never knew his computer's Webcam could be accessed remotely and used in such a seemingly invasive manner. And their lawsuit, according to , goes as far as to suggest the images captured by the school could "consist of minors and their parents or friends in compromising or embarrassing positions," including "various stages of undress."

It's worth noting that families did apparently have to sign an agreement prior to receiving a laptop from the school. A district spokesperson that agreement explained the school's ability to remotely "monitor hardware" but did not go into any detail about the Webcam or how it might play into that process.

And here you thought were problematic.

Something in this case obviously doesn't add up. Either someone's presenting misleading information -- intentionally or not -- or we're stuck in a game of semantics as to what exactly went down. Legal proceedings aside, the FBI is now said to be to figure out what really happened. If the boy's side of the story proves to be true, there's a good chance federal privacy laws could have been violated.
