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.

Saying there is nothing they can do is the standard cop-out for lazy administrators.

They are minors in school, under the legal supervision of the school. There are LOTS of things a school can do, and courts have been finding mostly on the side of schools for decades.

Without even trying, I can think of a dozen things the school could have done, including banning phones from the suspects until the investigation is over.

But they chose to do nothing, them punish the victim when she defended herself, after the school refused.

Banning phones during the investigation does not give the administration evidence to work with. Even if they took the phones, the school still couldn’t force the students to unlock them. The only way to get the evidence needed was through the police.

Okay, then permanent expulsion.

[–] yeather@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Which you need evidence to do. Evidence the school could not get.

These commenters just want to be outraged. If schools were suddenly confiscating phones and forcing students to unlock them they'd be on here rabble rousing about First Amendment rights, how Schools are run like prisons, and how students aren't being respected.

You should know that the person you are going back and forth with has an exceptionally argumentative and unpleasant comment history.

I know, I like to argue too. At least I did until I was banned from .ml for hurting their feelings.
