I left my comment on the boing boing site. My peripheral webcam lights up when in use, but I keep it covered and tucked away when it's not anyway (am professionally paranoid).

My netbook's built-in webcam has no indicator about being on or not.

And I would kick the school's ass, as a parent, if they did this to my kid.

Remind me to fully check out any school-provided computers in the future.

That's the hardest part of caring for animals; you did it with kindness and love and didn't prolong her misery by shying away from it. And her last days were so much better for being spent with you.

I am so so sorry.

Lucy kitty was lucky to have you to help her, and you are so brave for doing the right thing for the poor kitty.

This. So very much.

{{smonster}} What JZ said. You were the right person for her to be with in her last days.

So sorry, smonster.

Very sorry for your loss, smonster.

It's so hard for us long-lived humans, but you gave her the best life she could've asked for at the end of her time.
