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.

    This girl asked for help from the “responsible adults” around her, and they failed her. So she did what anyone else would do, she took matters into her own hands, and now she’s seen as the “perpetrator,” which gives themselves permission to ignore her situation, or worse, punish her for demanding they do their jobs.

    Crazy thing is, if her story were a Netflix film, all those same losers would be rooting for her, and all indignant that the school in the story didn’t back her up, but wasn’t it cool how she went all crazy on the perverts with a machete?

    But in real life? Nah, let’s kick HER ass. They’ll show this 13 year old child porn victim who’s boss.
