This is completely insane. She could have murdered one of these kids and faced less time!!! And isn't the school at fault too, for letting the license on the anti-spyware app expire? This is NUTS.

Norwich, Conn seventh grade teacher, Julie Amero has been convicted of four counts of [a href="vny!://www.norwichbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070106/NEWS01/701060312/1002/NEWS17"]risk of injury to a minor[/a] after her classroom PC displayed pornographic pop-ups in class. While an expert for the defendant said he had discovered spyware on her PC that had been downloaded from a hairstyling site, the local police investigator claimed that the spyware had been downloaded from actively visiting porn sites.

Amero [a  href="vny!://www.norwichbulletin.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070105/NEWS01/70105039"]testified[/a] that she had told four other teachers and the assistant principal about the popups, but received no assistance. The school's internet filtration software was not working because it's [a style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;" href="vny!://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/01/11/spyware_teacher/"]license had expired[/a]. Amero faces up to forty years in prison.
The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

thats insane and not right. Its a mistake that they kept popping up.. but the schools anti spyware had expired. Who's to say the kids hadnt gone to that site then been stopped?

Wow. Now that's what I call a bit extreme. She should not have to face charges against her simply because the school failed to upgrade their filtration system. Disgusting.

  BTW, isn't there a free program that disables spyware/adware programs? Spybot or something like that?
