A 13-year-old student was expelled from a Louisiana middle school after hitting a male classmate who she said created and shared a deepfake pornographic image of her, according to her family’s lawyers.
So a boy made child p**n of a classmate and wasn’t punished but the victim of the crime was?
Americans really living up to their president’s standards eh
By the school.
The police charged the boy and not the girl.
Fucked up world where the school is bad and the cops good.
Girlboss energy
I hope her parents took her out for pizza, ice cream and signed her up for a kickboxing class. Because I would be proud if she did that, honestly.
She asked them to stop, the school did nothing. Well, then it’s time to handle it yourself.
Why are they protecting the person who violated the girl rather than the girl. Her name was revealed not the rapist. How connected was the boy. Who was his mother, his pastor, and his family’s Senator. Go after the kin and influence, kill their ability to spin the narrative. Religion and Family are everything in the deep south. Tie those fuckers to anyone they want to protect from consequences.
Someone made the mistake of protecting this kid, make sure everyone knows who promotes this shit. People do realize this is child pornography right?
This kid committed felony distribution of child pornography.
Same reason they are protecting Trump in Epstein Files
Sounds like you have the regional knowledge to help uncover that.
I lived there for a bit, but left cause I hate southern authoritarian/religious culture.
I don’t know anyone involved, but I know what they care about.
Schools with zero tolerance policies are bullshit.
Sometimes kids hit other kids. They’re figuring shit out.
Plus sometimes situations deserve a little violence.
Give a warning and expell the boy for the AI image instead. That does a hell of a lot more damage than a light smacking.
Zero tolerance? Except for deepfake porn, apparently.
The parents should sue the school for tolerating that.
Everything with a zero tolerance policy is bullshit and just an excuse to avoid having to actually consider nuance and individual situations.
I got the same punishment in highschool for climbing over a table in the lunchroom to start a fight with someone who bullied me as I did for showing up five minutes late to class. It’s all such bullshit. (The punishment was two days of in school suspension.)

If the story is true it would be overly excessive for both to be expelled. Also the boy who seems to be 13 years old as well. That’s just very young. But then again I’m from the socialist paradise Germany where we don’t think it’s appropriate to throw kids into prison or ruin their lifes otherwise :)
I’m from Europe, too. Kids are expelled from school for less than this. He absolutely should be expelled and have to have mandatory counseling. A slap on the wrist will just show other kids they can get away with sexual harassment and abuse, and make it even worse for the victims.
A very big issue with our education system is that there’s no nuance in it. The way the system is set up makes it so that schools are incentivized to compete with each other to please the district, and the district to please the state. That’s how they get their funding. What this leads to is schools putting their best interests ahead of their students. If schools prioritized the students, they would’ve taken the context of the story and punished the bully and not the victim. However, since they prioritize themselves, they tried to keep the story under wraps to avoid bad PR, and expelled her regardless of context so they can distant themselves and save their image.
Calling for HIS EXPULSION for creating a DEEP FAKE that ruined this poor girls reputation!!!
I hope HE GOES VIRAL!!! And his damn family of this POS understands and HIS DAMN reputation is RUINED even worse!! Colleges SHAME applicants on being damn liars!
Call/report to the school board and complain plus keep sharing with NEWS OUTLETS ALL OVER THE NATION! (Story NOT the issue - duh, sorry have to state that and people are that damn dumb!)
This is appalling!!! FUCK HIM! POS!
Why do you write whole words in capitals like Trump?
Are you stupid?
Kid posted porn of an unwilling and underage participant. I hope this account is a throwaway.
NOT THE “PORN” but the original article… seriously… you can’t be that dumb! 🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️
The kid posted porn of a minor. Deep fake or not; Consent or not that’s Child Pornography. THAT’S a fucking felony. You CAN’T be that dumb bitch.

I hope they win the lawsuit.
I have a feeling it was the oh-so-popular “0 tolerance” policy that she was punished and he wasn’t. Because the policy didn’t cover what he did. And schools these days love to avoid accountability or being adults when it matters.
When I read parish school I thought of course, but apparently that’s just what they call counties in Louisiana. The boy should be charged along with anyone sharing but I remember way back in middle school days when one of my classmates had her actual photo circling around, I was completely clueless myself but I’d say at least 80% of the school had seen it afaik they only charged her because she took the photo herself (maybe they dropped them IDK) so I’m not holding out much hope.
She was 100% in the right and this is not morally ambiguous
We need to find out how to raise boys that cant even conceive of this kind of conduct

While I agree with the sentiment on the surface, naïveté doesn’t solve the root issue. We need to raise boys who violently reject people who inevitably conceive of this kind of conduct. Sociopaths and misogynists will always exist. That’s why it’s important for a healthy society to root them out as soon as they show their true colors.

Perfect yes exactly

Exactly, this shit is on his parents just as much as on him. More even. His parents didn’t teach him to respect women and girls and in general to respect other people’s boundaries.
I also think self defense for girls and young women should be a mandatory class taught at every school. This boy is already degrading girls sexually against their will. Girls should know how to protect themselves from creeps like him.
I’m not here to defend what is completely unacceptable. So don’t mistake it as such. I also think it’s on the parents to raise their child. Kids do dumb things, that’s part of being a kid. But there’s dumb things. And then there’s this…
I think this also illustrates the importance of competent sex ed in schools.
With today’s generative AI tools. I fear these kind of things are far too easy and require far too little effort. Which makes proper sex ed all more important.
Regardless of whatever happens with this school suspension. That boy is probably in some very serious legal trouble. Because no matter how you look at it, at the end of the day. He intentionally, created, and distributed CP.

Brain dead take. This is not a matter of parenting, it’s a matter of policy. You can’t stop this kind of behavior by scolding boys, and that’s not exactly the right way to get about it in the first place. Hormonal teenagers will forever be horny and creative. If they’re not finding every loophole to have sex, then they’re going to find the wackiest methods to get the next best thing. For some teen who can barely think straight, this is a quick way to get satisfaction from a crush without having the bravery of actually interacting with them.
That convenience is the problem. It is SO easy for anyone to get their hands on deepfake technology, and they’re so easy to use. You just find one of the hundreds of websites online, post a picture, and boom you’re done. Not only is it that easy, but their parents don’t even know such a technology exists because they come from a different era. In fact, they many won’t know of it until it’s too late.
Besides, no amount of talks stopped or parental controls stopped teens from watching porn, why would this be any different? The answer is that it’s not. The only serious way to address this issue, and it is a big issue, is through legislation. There’s need to be a federal ban that completely outlaws these deepfake websites, and this ban has to be actually enforced. At the very least there needs to be state bans, there just has to be some sort of legislation in place to ban or regulate this tech. Currently there is nothing.
Will this be fool proof? Of course not, when there’s a will, there’s a way. However, it will become way more difficult for your average person to do so. A 13 year can find a website and upload a picture, but it’ll harder for them to go on the dark web and do the same thing or install an AI model like Stable Diffusion locally and set it up to do deepfakes. These extra steps remove the convenience out of the equation, and make things like normal porn or interacting with their peers the better option.
You can’t stop this kind of behavior by scolding boys, and that’s not exactly the right way to get about it in the first place.
Yes you fucking can, if by scolding you mean talking to them.
Have conversations with them on how to be respectful of their peers. All their peers. Talk about things that are problems in the grades above them and tell them how it emotionally impacts people. Ask them how they feel about stuff they see it school, what they see. Frame tolerance for awful things as a moral failure.
Expect them to be decent for fucks sake, and they probably will.
You sound completely out of touch.
If you bothered to read the rest of the comment instead of just the first two sentences, you’ll see that I explained exactly why this an idiotic idea that won’t achieve anything. You have to actually be brain dead to think that finger wagging to a bunch of teenagers is going to result in anything, not to mention that you can’t control how parents will raise their kids nor can you control the knowledge parents have of this tech. This is something that can ONLY be solved through legislation.
Yeah I’m going to work on the real root cause which is the culture that promotes uncaring and malicious behavior, regardless of the technology that is being used to exact that behavior.
It’s out of touch to think that this sort of thing don’t happen with more crude tools. Are you going to play wack a mole with every new tool and platform that comes up?
I hate to break it to you, but this is a phenomenon happening all over the world, it’s not unique to any single society or culture. Not to mention that you don’t even have a real proposal in mind. Your grand solution here is demonize boys and wag your finger at their parents, if you think that’s going to achieve anything then you’re really are out of touch.
If all you care about is wagging your finger to feed your weird moral superiority complex, go ahead. However, I don’t have any interest in that. I want to see real, pragmatic, and tangible steps being taken to ensure that we get real results. The reality is that we have a new technology that’s completely unregulated, and this lack of regulation is causing this tech to be utilized in ways that shouldn’t be allowed. Deepfake websites shouldn’t be allowed to operate legally, and kids shouldn’t be able to access them so easily. Will a ban stop everyone? Of course not, however, it will greatly decrease the amount of people seeking because it’s not longer convenient to do so That’s how we can prevent situation like this one.
Was he expelled though? Only physical violence is an expellable offense? Making porn of a classmate and sharing it doesn’t get you expelled? What the fuck?
Would that be CSAM? Seems pretty serious if it was any 13 year old girl period.
If it’s not CSAM then it should be
If a child deliberately burns down a house, is it not arson? Crimes are still crimes, even when there is no legally culpable party. Falling trees do make a sound, even when nobody can hear them.
The kid who did needs to be treated as an offender in every way but legally. Mandatory counselling, school-based corrections, suspension, that sort of thing.
They expelled her. That seems crazy if it is her first incident. Suspension sure.
More importantly, how did the school address the bullying? Did the person who made it see any consequences? Did she report it and did the school ignore it? All of those matter.
With the full context, no. The girl should not be punished as she very clearly informed the school of the problem, they ignored it. They are trying to frame her as the perpetrator to cover their own asses for doing nothing in a sexual harassment case.
From the article:
Attorney Miller said school leaders at Sixth Ward Middle School failed to address the girl’s complaints about the circulating image, despite her reporting it to school leaders.
“The school board’s actions in this case are reprehensible,” Miller said. “My client’s daughter was begging them all day to put a stop to this. Not only did they not put a stop to it, they put [her] on the bus with the perpetrator.”
When the girl saw the photo being shared again on the school bus, she hit the boy who she said was responsible for creating it. She was later expelled from the school.
and
Lafourche Parish Sheriff Craig Webre said one student was charged with ten counts of unlawful dissemination of images created by artificial intelligence in September.
The sheriff noted that additional arrests and charges are possible.
Seems like she has a pretty strong case. The girl’s dad seems more reasonable than most these days:
Despite the situation, Daniels said he holds no animosity toward the boy accused of creating the photo or his family.
“Honestly, I have no ill will towards that young man or his family. Kids are kids, and they do dumb things just like adults do. So, especially at that age, they don’t comprehend the severity of what they do,” Daniels said.
Dad seems like a real G. Stood up for his daughter, and showed empathy and understanding towards the kid instead of a lust for vengeance
The “hitting a classmate” part seems less important than the “expelled” part in this context. I wonder if they have a zero-tolerance for violence policy.
They should have a zero-tolerance for making/distributing CSEM policy, but I guess not.
What he did is WAY worse. Fuck that kid, or make a deepfake porn of it? I dont know what lesson the law wants us to get out of this. If she’s expelled, dude needs to deported.
