I just find it interesting that the school has the monitoring in place, 
and that they went to all the trouble to go back and check up on him 
after they saw that he had been looking at "inappropriate" things. 
Where "inappropriate" in this case means something the librarian or 
whomever didn't care for.  And of course (if you take the kid's story at 
face value), they blew it.

I guess I'm just of the opinion that inappropriate government monitoring 
can still happen before 18.

For the record, I have 5 kids, 4 of which are in school already.
