"The suburban Philadelphia school district accused of spying on students using school-issued laptops
snapped thousands of images of teenagers in their homes, including shots of a boy asleep in his bed,
documents filed in a lawsuit claimed Thursday.

In a motion filed April 15 by Michael and Holly Robbins, and their teenage son Blake,
the family's attorney said Lower Merion School District personnel remotely activated Blake's MacBook
over 400 times in a 15-day stretch last fall, taking photos using the notebook's camera and snapping images of the 
computer's screen."
