On Monday, the Federal Prosecutors and the FBI said that they will look into the Philadelphia area school webcam spying case.

The security experts are in confusion after parents of 15-year old, Blake Robbins filed a complaint against the school authorities on the use of remotely controlled cameras for spying on their child while at home.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that the complaint was lodged after a school administrator accused Robbins of engaging in "improper behavior" in his home and offered a still image from the laptop Webcam as evidence.

All Harriton High School students use school-issued Apple MacBooks with built-in Webcams that are designed to capture images if the laptops are lost or stolen. The school district says it only activates the Webcams without students' knowledge for security purposes. But in this case, it seems it crossed its boundaries.

According to Darrel Bowman, CEO of Tacoma, "Even from an IT security professional perspective, spying on the kids at home with or without prior consent is invasion of privacy. Regardless of their consent or knowledge, it's against the law".

"School officials don't have the right to activate webcams on school-issued laptops at their whim", said David Sockol, President and CEO of eMagined Security.
