Substitute Teacher’s Worst Nightmare

// February 6th, 2007 // tech

Have you ever faced a pop-up that wouldn’t go away? On October, 19, 2004, Amero was a substitute teacher for a seventh-grade language class at Kelly Middle School. A few students were crowded around a PC; some were giggling. She investigated and saw the kids looking at a barrage of graphic, hard-core pornographic pop-ups.

The defense said that the machine was infested with spyware and malware, and that opening the browser caused the computer to go into an endless loop of pop-ups leading to porn sites.

Amero maintains her innocence. She refused offers of a plea bargain and now faces an astounding 40 years in prison (her sentencing is on March 2).

    Firefox’s first release was on Feb., 2004. So, I guess Firefox wasn’t as famous when this story happened..

    That’s really crazy. But you know what, she’s really innocent. This happens around here a lot, without parental guidance, neither attention.

    By the way, please make anything to make the verification image clearer that it’s. Or allow the “New ID” feature to generate without refreshing the page, and losing what you’ve written.

    Feras, I love your blog. I really like your writing style. It looks like we have a lot in common. I’m a fresh graduate majored in English, living in Onaizah, Qassim. What about you?

    All the best,
    Aziz.
