Well ! If we would of lived in an ideal world maybe you would of been
right. Take in to account that children aren't easy to talk their
parents especially in this cases. Besides is the police that is asking
for all the data available.

I'm glad too se everyone helping out to find the logs and giving
advice on how to search those teen-agers web history.
Just me(and this has nothing to do with security), but wouldn't it be
better that each parent asked directly its children about such
incidents instead of searching and digining through their logs and web
history?
I for one wouldn't like it that my parents knew all my browsing and
chatting habbits, and I think this is the case for most of today's
persons. Teens are as ,uch entitled to their privacy "apriori" as
anyone else in my opinion.
I know all I've said has not much to do with security (actually it has
to do with privacy), but neither is searching for logs.
I'm not trying to undermine the importance of the threat and the
gravity of the situation, I just don't think such an intrusion of
privacy would be a good answer.

Our community, Waconia, Minnesota has recently been the victims of
threats against our children and schools.
http://www.startribune.com/stories/462/5399090.html
The Emergency Response Task Force assigned to our case asked parents to
go home and check their kids computers for any chats or emails with
information.

We are trying to find a document explaining where and what to look at
to find any information.  We would like to post this on our school main
page www.waconia.k12.mn.us for a resource for parents to use on how to
find any information.  Can you tell me where to find this information?

Thank you in advance,
