First off, let me preface this story by pointing out that the woman telling this tale, Jennifer Iacopelli, actually refers to herself as a “Badass Librarian” in her Twitter bio. So that right there gives you a pretty good idea that she is not a librarian to be trifled with, kids.
Now, as for the story, there was this girl at her school who came to her crying because she had been punished for something she claimed that she did not do. This girl claimed she was “hacked” and was completely innocent.
That’s when the “Badass Librarian” took over…
Victory of the day, settle in folks: Student comes to the library this morning in tears. She's grounded. Her mom took away her phone.

She says that someone "hacked" her English paper and wrote very inappropriate things in it. When she and her mom sat down to work on it last

night, her mom saw it and FREAKED on her (rightly so IMO). The student is 12 and if my 12yo had written this it would have been DEATH.

However, student INSISTS that she didn't write it. So I go into her Google Doc account and see that the changes were made at 2:16pm.

Student says, "I was on the bus then!" So I pull up the camera security footage we have in the library computer lab for 2:16pm.

There are three boys sitting around a computer, two hovered over another who is typing. I rewind the footage and see Student!

She turns away from her desk at the end of the previous period, monitor times out, she gets up and walks away. 5 minutes later boys sit down

One nudges the mouse and the screen lights up, still on Student's Google doc, which they hover over a for a good 15 minutes typing.

I wait the footage out, see them turn around a few times and screenshot it. Ask one of the library aides. She knows one of them!

Then I check my sign-in records for the period! Three boys about the same age signed in together. Look up their student records and SHOCK!
— Jennifer Iacopelli (sometimes Hennessy) (@jennifercarolyn) January 31, 2017
Actually not shock, because BAM their pictures match the kids in the surveillance footage. All 3 written up, in school suspension.

Student's grounding has been lifted and Mom said that she'll be returning her phone to her when she gets home today!

Lesson: your friendly librarian is better at technology than you, so don't pull crap like that. I will find you and you will pay. pic.twitter.com/J99GojtgIS
