A 13-year-old girl at a Louisiana middle school got into a fight with classmates who were sharing AI-generated nude images of her
The girls begged for help, first from a school guidance counselor and then from a sheriff’s deputy assigned to their school. But the images were shared on Snapchat, an app that deletes messages seconds after they’re viewed, and the adults couldn’t find them. The principal had doubts they even existed.
Among the kids, the pictures were still spreading. When the 13-year-old girl stepped onto the Lafourche Parish school bus at the end of the day, a classmate was showing one of them to a friend.
“That’s when I got angry,” the eighth grader recalled at her discipline hearing.
Fed up, she attacked a boy on the bus, inviting others to join her. She was kicked out of Sixth Ward Middle School for more than 10 weeks and sent to an alternative school. She said the boy whom she and her friends suspected of creating the images wasn’t sent to that alternative school with her. The 13-year-old girl’s attorneys allege he avoided school discipline altogether.
Blaming the technology is useless and unhelpful. It’s like blaming Photoshop for letting people remove their faces from obvious CSAM.
Kids need to be taught about this stuff! Bitching and trying to regulate the tech is a pointless waste of time. Teaching children how to deal with it is the only realistic thing that can be done.
Ah yes, make no regulatory framework and just the the kids sort it out without any possible help from the system, sounds brilliant.
The kids seem to know about this stuff just fine. It’s not some lack of knowledge that was the problem here.
You not addressing my point is showing how weak your argument is, just an fyi.
