6. It Does Seem There is More to This - But not in favor of the girls

I read the story and there is one really out of place sentence about "It's unclear whether someone manually shut off wireless Internet access each night at 10 p.m. or it happened automatically." There was nothing earlier in the blog that stated the parents allowed internet access but shut it off at a certain time. Although that out of place sentence would imply they did.

If that's the case then the teens' behavior is even more egregious.

How would people react if they drugged the parents to watch TV past bedtime? Or if they did it to sneak out after curfew? I believe the principle is the same. Parents put limits on kids because they should since they are theoretically more experienced. If it's okay for parents to set a curfew, a bedtime past which a kid cannot watch TV then it's okay for them to do the same with Internet access.

I would like to see more details on this story.
