It is happening all over the place, companies are doing it as well as private citizens.
In this case they are using the camera and logging system to "tract a lost or stolen computer" but in reality they can monitor what the person is doing with the computer. Since the kid and families took it free of charge they feel you give any right to privacy up and they can capture and use that information anyway they like.
Also, for all of you who use gmail and the such and do not pay, you given up any right to privacy, they search and keep your emails looking for key words so they can target marking to you directly.
So every day people take free things without realizing what rights they just gave up and whether you really want them to know what you are doing.
This is the main reason I have software called Little Snitch on my Mac. It tells me if any program is trying communication externally and if any attempts to connect my computer.

Most of these things (certainly in the form of private businesses) do have legal disclaimers/fine print that provide this access. I seriously doubt that existed in these cases. If they did have a stipulation that allows for remote access in the investigation of lost hardware, they generally have very restrictive conditions when it can be applied. They have to have a case logged with the local PD on a stolen machine probably. They can't just say yep, we think one is missing so we are checking. That is kind of a BS rational for webcams anyway. They won't likely find out ANYTHING from an image. That is why they make lojack for laptops. That is the tool that would be deployed. A good (or even shabby) lawyer will cut this to ribbons pretty quick if they use that rationale.
I will acknowledge that people don't read enough of these details. But those quickly get dispensed with. Believe me - I am in IT security and they don't fly very far when someone crys
lawsuit - Even the ACLU wont touch those.
