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.
Agreed. I think the problem is that in addition to our shit “justice” system we’ve also shifted so much outside of that system. On the adult/big company side you get arbitration. For kids, schools have pretty broad authority to do what they want, where what they want is to provide day care and avoid lawsuits (and, optionally, maybe educate a kid or two along the way). So this kid will never get the opportunity to get to jury nullification unless she escalates, escalates, escalates. Our system made sure she had no recourse.
