Cindy Champion says her son, Mac Bedor, and a few of his
friends took the camera out of the ceiling because they felt it
violated their privacy. Champion says her son brought the camera home to
show her that afternoon. She says when she contacted the Jasper County

put the camera there. She says Fore told her he put the camera in the
boys’ bathroom to catch students vandalizing. Champion says her son is
now suspended for taking school property.
