I did my search on Rodney Eugene Coffin III. His name is pretty unique so he was not hard to find. At all. There were no images on google that were correct though. New info showed up for Rod when I put in Nashua, NH and any newspapers articles related to Nashua North High School then came up. For images, there was a photo of a student of the month that Rod nominated.
On pipl.com I found Rod very easily and his address, family members, and wife's name. People reigstered to this site might be credit card/debt collectors or any profession that needs to access personal information quickly.
I've actually used pipl.com before to find a family member for my mother and it was helpful if you have enough information for a lead. It did make me wonder about my digital footprint but fortunately my name is pretty common - there is even a girl in my hometown with the exact same name and age range as myself.
I think it is primarily the parents' job to teach their children about online privacy and protecting your reputation. Unfortunately, most parents don't know enough about social medias and online privacy yet. In that case I think it is a good idea for teachers to be good models for online use. I will comment on facebook use and other medias in the classroom, especially when students are using their cell phones for it.

Rod is a bit shady..:) You bring up a good point. With a name that is pretty common, how can you ensure that the information that someone is seeking about you IS about you. Everyone has a unique digital footprint, however sometimes it is easily confused with others.
