You have it all wrong when you say “she’s pretty white girl and nothing will happen.” Personally, I don’t think the daughter should be in the kind of trouble that will jeopardize her future. Teenagers make very dumb decisions and it’s in their nature to building their “status.” The mom was supposed to be the smart one and it should all be on her. However, we now live in a country that enjoys taking a white person and making them the scapegoat without looking at the facts. Therefore, given the daughter is a “pretty white girl” the public will make sure she gets the Max sentencing possible. No teenager in this situation should have legal trouble. It’s silly.

The loss of job and expellsion is more than enough being that prom queen is usually given to the least who deserve it all graduates should be prom queen. Please don’t make a mountain out of a molehill. Personally I don’t believe school is doing any of our youn people any good. Sorry she felt so strong about winning something so trivial.

You should also be asking about the integrity of the system escambia county operates. Nobody can deny that something nefarious took place on behalf of the mother and daughter, however you should also ask how it was not systematically prevented by the software and why is the county not doing its due diligence in securing students data. I recommend common sense data walls which would have kept the administrator of a elementary school from viewing records of students at a high school, there is not many official cases that can be made for someone having district wide access like this. Next they need to setup the appropriate audit logging, such as sending a daily log of student records accessed to a privacy team which would then come around and validate reasons for accessing student data. I don’t want to assume the mother was freely giving her daughter the password, but more than likely was writing it down in the same place and the daughter knew where to find it. The fix for this is tying everything to 2fa, using device trust and killing sessions every 8 hours. This would have limited the student data from only being viewable from the official school computer. The final improvement they really should implement is behavioral analytics, which I guess would have caught this bad behavior with in the first week of abuse.

FWIW, I know these things work because I use them in my day job (information security).

Years of unauthorized system access and hundreds of alleged Privacy Act violations are “real crimes”. Serious crimes. Multiple felonies with potential life-long consequences. There may also be undiscovered acts of identity theft by one or both charged individuals. The cost of auditing the system and criminal investigation was substantial.
The intangible costs of violating trust (including by an assistant principal!) and denying other students meaningful experiences is also real.
Someone mentioned the godly fabric of society. How does your God view stealing, lying, envy and the false god of a homecoming crown?
