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.

    They will not investigate it further than threatening the victims with persecution.

      Yes, after the kid had to take matters into her own hands.

      She asked for help. The officer said no. She didn’t let it go/escalated the issue as the sexual harassment progressed. Only when forced did they investigate

        She asked for help. The officer said no.

        No they didn’t and if they did that information is not in this article. She went to the Guidance Councilor at 7AM then to the onsite Sheriff’s Deputy after. She texted her father and sister about 2PM. The SD couldn’t immediately find anything but it appears that they didn’t stop looking because 3 weeks later they were charging the boys.

        So unless you have another source with a different timeline or more information your originally comment was inaccurate. Sort of like the ragebait headline and the ragebait summary.

          You’re simping hard for the police in here. There is no proof that any of the charges would have occurred had people not become outrage. The school definitely need this pressure.

          You have a lot of cops in your family because I can’t think of a reason anyone would be such a massive cheerleader for professional thugs without some personaon relationship.
