Boys at her school shared AI-generated, nude images of her. She was the one expelled (abcnews.go.com)

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.

That was the investigation by the police not the school.

What we're asking is why the school didn't investigate given that the police had already been contacted.

I mean, the police are the proper individuals to be investigating csam. The school bringing them in immediately would have been the correct action. School officials aren't trained to investigate crime.

Perhaps the cops are the proper investigative arm, but the school system had an obligation to assist in that investigation, and not ignore it, then deny it, then cover it up.

The entire leadership of the school should be fired, and the principal should be prosecuted.

Because a school can't compell Snapchat to release "disappeared" images and chat logs. So perhaps in this case it was best left to the police.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 5 points 2 months ago

It wasn't left to the police she'd already gone to the police. It sounds from the story like the school did literally nothing at all.

Also you don't need to compel Snapchat to release the images they're 13-year-old boys they absolutely have permanent copies on their phones.
