But then it wouldn't hold up for anything... No system is impervious
to security breaches, and yet we still hold people responsible for
what happens with their codes and passwords unless they can prove
that they were compromised. We have to. Otherwise we'd have cases of
everyone denying that they did anything.
Ideally you can go back and look at logs to see which terminal
requests were coming from to verify that the student's assigned seat
was the one initiating the requests, but if you can't, you just tell
the parents that you have evidence that their child's account was
used to access inappropriate material. Unless the parent has evidence
that someone else has access to that account, you must conclude that
their child is responsible. For fun, give the parent access to the
system for an hour and see if they can access some other child's
account.
