I'm reminded of something I read years ago, about a student being<br>
suspended for "hacking" after using "net send". That was also in Texas.<br>
<br>
<a href="http://yro.slashdot.org/story/04/01/07/1713236/8th-grader-suspended-for-using-net-send-command" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://yro.slashdot.org/story/04/01/07/1713236/8th-grader-suspended-for-using-net-send-command</a><br>
<br>
It looks like this time round, the police were involved and demonstrated<br>
a similar lack of clue.<br>
