Also happened to me when I was in high school, but luckily my mom was able to convinve the school to drop everything.

The school is not only incapable of provoding a quality education for these super smart kids, but they also were exposing everyones data in a negligent and reckless way. Where is the punushment for the network admin?

Seems like the real lesson here is dont be a black hat hacker, or at least if you are gonna do that, dont get caught no matter what. The truth is if they werent minors theyd be totally fucked for this. I imagine lots of us here had similar experiences. Its natural enough to want to explore and play with this kind of thing. But life isnt fair, and that is an important lesson we all have to learn at some point.

If I knew either of these guys I would hire and mentor them right now.
