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.

    The average American prison hold 800-1200 people. The largest prison in America is Angola, LA, which holds over 8000.

    Soon it won’t be the biggest American prison, though. Trump is building a facility in Guantanamo Bay that will hold 30,000 prisoners. Clearly, he and Stephen Miller intend to lock up a lot of people, and NOBODY is talking about it.

    PedoCons love to lock people up.

      This made me look up Europe vs the US prisoners stats:

      European population is 750,000,000.
      US population is 350,000,000.

      Europe has 500,000 prisoners.
      US has 2,000,000 prisoners.

      I knew it would be bad but that’s fucking unbelievable… Half the population but 4x the amount of prisoners.

      And just to be clear; this was from a couple of minutes of searching, I don’t have time right now to delve deeper and really back up those numbers. If anyone has more knowledge and sources, please correct me.
