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.

        When law enforcement and educators have failed you, maybe violence is the answer sometimes.

          For someone that isn’t violent towards you, anyone else, or your property?

          I dunno… but maybe we were just raised differently. I couldn’t imagine getting into a fight with someone in the real world over this. It’d be very dangerous and it’s just not worth the risk.

          I’d rather ignore them and move on, lol.

            People like you are the reason the world is in the state it is. If more assholes got the shit stomped out of them whenever they did asshole shit, we’d be a lot better off. Instead you motherfuckers expect everyone to turn the other cheek and get walked all over.

            Yeah, you say that easily but nobody is spreading nudes of yours around, AI generated or not.

            Violence isn’t a solution but if it’s the only option left, like it appeared here, it’s justifiable.

            That doesn’t go to mention that, as per usual, in the US, the bullies are protected and the victims get their lives utterly destroyed. This little girl got expelled and had to switch schools because of what others did, and you’re defending the bullies because of what exactly?

            And your “suck it up” advise also seems to be a bit weird, considering this is child pornography.
