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.

It would be great if the SEO gods forever associated the names of the superintendent and principal with their public positions of support for child pornographers.

The classmates who created and shared them should be arrested and charged with distributing CSAM. It’s unimaginable that this would be tolerated to such an extent and then the victim punished when they are given no other option but to stand up for themselves. This country is sick to it’s core.

Create deep fakes of the staff and faculty. Email it to them and their spouses. See if they understand how damaging it is after that. I'm sure they'll want to give you a knuckle sandwich. Fuck them! If it were my child I would have stood by her decision

Get sentenced to jail while the original person creating the deepfake of the student goes unpunished.

Your heart is in the right place, but this is the deep south. That action by a local would likely end in the sheriff's office kicking in your door with a no-knock raid, shooting your dog and maybe also you.

When powerless people (like the girl in this article) complain they are dismissed and treated with suspicion by the authorities.

When the authorities complain their peers respond rapidly and with excessive force.

This is commonly called authoritarianism, but in the US they prefer the euphemism 'weak governance' because '-ism' words are unpopular.

Okay,. I hope you have all enjoyed venting your emotions on the matter. Empathy is absolutely appreciated. Now going forward, may I set an example here and ask you all to do similar in the future: Include how it could have been handled better.

There are many ways to go at a situation like this. Teach the kids some social skills. Just a few off the top:

  • Parenting, social control -- kids can speak up and say "yo this is not okay".
  • Own it: We were born naked. We are naked in our clothes, it is all the same. If you have the confidence, say: "Psh, the real thing is MUCH better".
  • Turn it around: "What do you need a fake nude for, can you not get a girl to be naked with you? Pathetic.."
  • condescending tone "Aw thanks, you're thinking about me that much? Cute." etc.

I understand, not always easy, more so at that age and dependent on personality. This style can be expanded, make it a thing. Nix the bullshx.
