What can happen if you hack someones facebook account?

[Ben]

So, today my mom and i had a debate concerning facebook. I had heard that high schools and colleges will now look at your facebook page to see what you personality is like before they accept you, so i asked my mom how they do this. She said that the school or business will hack your facebook account (even if it is private), and get away with it without having any punishment. However, i argued that anyone who will hack a private account is committing a illegal crime and can face charges from either the law or the person who's account was hacked. so, the question boils down to this:

If you hack a private facebook account (only just to look at the profile), what will happen:

A.) Face charges issued by either the law or the person who's account has been hacked.

B.) Be able to walk away free of charge and not have to face ANY consequence


if this is a law, please provide where you found it from. thanks!
