Some students in the Lyndonville School District are in trouble after allegedly stealing very personal images from a teacher's cell phone and distributing them to other students via e-mail. A relative of one of the students says the teacher let a male student borrow her cell phone. He noticed the photos, told the baseball team, who then got a female student to lift the images from the teacher's cell phone. 'I believe there is a charge, a larceny charge similar to computer theft,' said Orleans County Sheriff's Investigator Ken Strickland, who added that the teacher has not filed any complaint. 'For the teacher, how embarrassing,' he said. 'If you have something on there you want private and it's yours, I feel it's definitely a violation to go in and take something that doesn't belong to you.' Some Lyndonville residents are upset that the students have been punished but the teacher has not faced any disciplinary action. 'The photos are the issue. And the choices can't be made if the temptation's not there,' Said Carla Woodworth, a local resident who knows the teacher. 'I think she should be held accountable. When you make a choice to bring something into a facility that's children and youth based, it's wide open. If it's personal and private then it belongs staying at home.' A family member of one of the students involved said, 'I think all the parties involved in this should be treated equally, including the teacher involved. Definitely it's her personal cell phone, but she has to remember, too, she's around 300 students and she leaves her phone on the desk for anyone to see.' 'I don't believe this was something left out that anybody could get it. I believe it was locked in a private room, actually,' said Investigator Strickland. 'They certainly intended to go in and steal something, because this wasn't something that was just left around.'
