FGS! That bloody kid! He's hacked into the bloody school computers!

I got a call from my 13 year old son's school today. He was bored in French lab and decided to hack into the school system and close everyone else's computers. He's been given a 2 day in school suspension and a rest of the year ban on in school computers.

So, we've taken his computer here at home for a while and were thinking of inviting a local cop we know to talk to him about what happens to hackers in real life.

Any other ideas? How would you react to this kind of thing? Thank you!

wineaholic God love him, he's not a genius. And somehow, I don't think any future employers will be that bothered about what he once did in a French class when he'd just turned 13. If it did, I'm pretty sure me locking a French teaching assistant in a supply cupboard for kicks would have had a more lasting impact on my life than the well deserved bollocking I received.

Thanks for all the replies. We're in the US so going to check out what we have locally that's similar to some of these links. Thanks again.

Well if you are in in the USA the NSA probably already have their eyes on him, for good or bad......

If he's in middle school do they do robotics at all? The middle schools around here do, and participate in regional competition. In high school there is a tech club and courses in programming, web design, etc.

A lot of criminals are very clever it is just they have chosen the wrong path in life, let this be a lesson to him and hopefully he will choose the correct path.
