No, the parents do not have ANY right to help her violate network
policy, not at all.

If the TOS permits remote connections for the purpose of surfing the
web, to bypass restrictions, then yes, it would be permitted - but there
is not a single school policy that states "You may use any means
possible to subvert our network security or policy".

Its the parents computer, and they can allow ANYONE to
access their machine they want, as long as the AUP of the
ISP allows the operation of servers from your connection.
The parents where NOT breaking ANY laws provding
their duaghter with the means to bypass the Bess filter.
The computer back home in Kansas was the PROPERTY
of the PARENTS, therefore they had the LEGAL RIGHT
to allow anyone to access the machine they wanted, and,
therefore, were NOT breaking ANY laws, in Kansas, where
the parents lived. The parents were NOT SUBJECT to ANY
prosecution for allowing their duaghter to access their home
computer, under Kansas law.

Its the same with all of us that operate public proxy
servers, by they web proxies, Tor proxies, or whatever.
We are NOT breaking ANY laws by allowing public
access to our proxies. And since NONE of my
proxies are in the United States, what comes
through my proxy is NOT SUBJECT to United
States laws.

Using my proxy did NOT break ANY laws. I must say it AGAIN
that using my proxy, to check up on his then-teenage children
DID NOT break ANY laws.

It did. Will you accept it finally?


(At any rate, why should we give anyone who abuses Outlook Express as a
newsrader any technical and related juristic competence?)

No it did NOT. Using a proxy is NOT a criminal
offence. It if were, Tor, and other aonymity services
would not even EXIST.
