HOUSTON – A charter school teacher is accused of secretly videotaping students while they were using the bathroom.

Craig McDonald, a 59-year-old instructor at Raul Yzaguirre School for Success in southwest Houston, was scheduled to be in court Wednesday, according to the Houston Chronicle.

Investigators say he put a miniature camera inside a fake smoke detector in the bathroom. The camera then sent images back to a monitor on McDonald’s desk.

Police seized several computers and other electronic equipment from his home, the paper said.

After being charged with improper photography/visual recording on Monday, McDonald posted $2,000 bail.

If convicted, McDonald could face up to two years in jail and a $10,000 fine.

The school has about 1,250 students of elementary, middle, and high-school age, according to its web site.

DALLAS – Dallas police say a 2-year-old boy is now a witness in his grandmother’s homicide investigation.

A relative dropped the boy off Tuesday at the Southeast Patrol Substation on Jim Miller Road. Sources said his statements led police to believe that something had happened to his grandmother.

Officers later found 35-year-old Zulma Salmeron dead inside Room 11 at the Luxury Inn Motel along C.F. Hawn Freeway.

Police now believe Salmeron’s boyfriend, Jose Gonzales, dropped the boy off at the relative’s house. That relative instead took him to the police station.

“About that same time, there was a single car accident that occurred a few miles away. The driver [Gonzalez] was probably the last person to see the grandmother, who we were looking for,” said Sgt. Bruce McDonald.

Gonzalez was taken to a local hospital following the crash. He has since been charged with murder.

Police have not revealed details about a possible motive. But a report states that Salmeron was in the process of moving out of the couple’s apartment.

The boy is currently in state custody. His grandmother had been caring for him while his mother is in Houston.

“Don’t hate my father,” Mackenzie Phillips tells PEOPLE.

But in a tell-all book out Wednesday, the former childhood actress reveals that her dad, musician John Phillips of the ’60s band the Mamas and the Papas, engaged with her in a long-term incestuous relationship.

Phillips, 49, who has survived drug addiction, arrests and divorce, writes in the book “High on Arrival” that she was already a star playing a boy-crazy teen on the TV sitcom “One Day at a Time” when her father had sex with her on the night before she was to marry Jeff Sessler, a member of the Rolling Stones entourage, in 1979.

"They kicked me off," Mitnick says, noting he doesn’t begrudge Hostedhere.net, which he used for five years. But after a number of break-ins that targeted the former hacker, "they decided it wasn’t cost-effective to keep me around," Mitnick says, adding, "I’m a target," mostly for those who want to play "king of the hill" by hacking someone once known as a notorious hacker.

Reports surfaced during last week’s Black Hat conference that Mitnick and other security experts had their websites hacked.

But Mitnick hasn’t been left Webless. FireHost has stepped in to offer Mitnick a refuge for the basic advertising he does online for his consultancy, Mitnick Security Consulting LLC.

FireHost provides hosting that uses what CEO Chris Drake claims are better defence measures – provided to all its customers – than might be found at the typical web-hosting firm.

FireHost makes use of the Imperva application firewall to defend against SQL injection, cross-site scripting and other application-layer attacks. The firm also makes use of home-grown Snort-based tools and Top Layer’s security device to mitigate against denial-of-service attacks, intrusion-prevention and to scan for possible infected web pages.
