I knew a brother and sister who had to go to juvenile court for making prank calls and writing a couple of mean pen-pal letters ... this was about 20 years ago.
The brother made most of the prank calls to a teacher at the school, some hang ups, then he got the ingenious idea of calling every exterminator in the yellow pages pretending he was the teacher and leaving his phone number, thus more phone calls.
The sister was prank calling a girl in her class in which her mother happened to be a teacher at the school as well. She was just hanging up.
Back then before e-mail, kids actually had pen-pals... so the sister looked in magazines, got penpals addresses and wrote some pretty insulting letters using the other girls address, so she in turn got "hate mail".
It got to the point that they took samples of the sister's handwriting at the school to incriminate her.
The brother got caught when a tap was placed on the phone.
Is this unfair? Would/Should it happen today?

You know that this is illegal? We're you either the brother or sister? Either way they sound like a bunch of brats. They deserved what they got then and if it happened today they'd probably get into a lot more trouble. It's called HATE CRIMES!

They would still be accused today, if not with more concequences since the crack down on bullying, especially within the school system. Those kids harrassed, bullied, took advantage of a system, wasted peoples time among other things.
I agree with everything that took place.

I think this kind of action deserves this type of consequence. This is a case of harrasement and it carries a sentence of up to a year. Everyone is responsible for his/her actions. If you don't want to go to court/jail, simply don't do things that gets you there.
