The stupid part, Kahuna, is the idea that some computer virus built by a kid would end up wrecking a hospital system and killing someone. The ILOVEYOU virus last year caused all kinds of damage, but didn't result in any deaths.
Kids know that actions have repurcussions. It is fine to teach kids that some activities are dangerous, but how about some truly dangerous topics like unprotected sex, drinking and driving, armed robbery, or walking into class with shotguns and killing everyone. Why waste funds on trying to protect corporate computers, when kids are killing each other?
What you wrote sounds like an urban legend,
Last year or so, I read an item about a kid who might go to jail for stealing a traffic sign. It was a stop sign and an out of towner got killed going through the intersection. Involuntary manslaughter.
I also heard a story last year. It was about a kid getting killed from drinking soda and eating pop rocks. I think we should warn kids about the consequences of mixing hacking and pop rocks. Or was it drinking soda and stealing road signs? I forget, but thank you Father Kahuna for your moral views.
Jesus is coming, look busy.
