Nice to see the sheriff took action, since the school doesn't seem to give a damn.

charged with ten counts of unlawful dissemination of images created by artificial intelligence

The girl has been allowed back into school, only after a school board meeting voted to allow it; but 'on probation' and with the expulsion still on her record. The family is following up with a federal lawsuit because of that.

I'll note she didn't just hit him out of no where. She first reported it to school staff. They did nothing. She then tried to contact her dad and got told by school staff 'parents don't need to get involved'. The school then put her on the same bus as the offender, who showed off the image again to other students in front of her.

What else was she supposed to do. I'd have hit him too, and I'm almost 30.

Whooole lotta people in these comments defending the guy who produced and shared Child Exploitation Material. “She shouldn’t have resorted to violence, there were other options” “She shouldn’t have responded to bullying with physical assault” My favourite: “it was made with AI, so it’s not really child porn”

Why is a 13 year old girl being asked to act with the calm sensibility of an adult in this situation, but no one is asking why a 13 year old boy thought it was okay to sexually harass his classmate? If she should have known better, he bloody should have too.

While I agree that jumping to violence can sometimes be the wrong answer, there are at least two cases where you just gotta remind people that polite society has its limits: nazis, and people who are actively sexually assaulting a child. This person was openly sharing sexually explicit material of her with others in front of her. That is sexual assault under Louisiana law. And if you think asking a predator nicely to please stop ever works, you’re a naive fool.

I never understood US schools "logic" when it comes to deal with violence.

Yeses, she should not have hit that asshole, but they should expell him, and maybe give her a day or two of detention.

Petition to strip big balls of his medal of freedom and give it to this girl who showed courage in the face of adversity and no tolerance for bullshit.

Why do the victims always get the short end of the stick in these cases?

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

Let me get this straight... some jackass made deepfake porn of a 13 year old and SHE gets expelled for giving him a well deserved smack?

I hope that asshole gets to be on a sex offender list at least.

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.

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

The US president is a pedophile. Victim blaming is a standard now, pedophilia and kiddy pron is protected these days. We're living in a really shitty dystopia these days.

Americans seem to be too comfortable defending perverts.

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.

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?

Wow....gotta love a future where you fuck around and the victim gets to find out instead of the offender

There are the obvious comments about trump being a pedo and all but I think there is also another subject at play here

The US loves to apply zero tolerance policies. Thesr sound impressive, "zeeerroooo tolerance, we will do everything to stop the bad guy!" But in reality it's just virtue signalling without doing anything about the real problem.

Zero tolerance policies make it that the institution doesn't have to deal with any real problems. A student is a potential problem? Expel them, arrest them, get rid of them. This way, you don't have to deal with anything and fuck that student, who cares about them?

A 12 year girl writes on her desk that she likes a clasmate? Arrest her with handcuffs and all and throw her in jail. (True story)

A girl doesn't do her homework? Send her to something that effectively is a jail. Why spend time to support her, try to figure out what are the causes behind her problems? Just get rid of it. Eto tolerance, baby!

Somebody at school or work get bullied forever and finally snaps and hits back? Investigating WHY would take up resources, time, effort, it would cost money that can go to the shareholders and the CEO. Just fire that person, problem gone. That the bullies remain is not a problem, who cares about that? That that, over time, makes ymthe environment in your organization more and more toxic is not your problem.

I see all these US mass shootings done by young kids and young adults, and I just wonder. I know that the easy access to guns is an enormous issue that a handful of assholes don't want to fix, but these zero tolerance policies too have a lot of influence on this, I think.

The USA needs to start dealing with their problems instead of just expelling and jailing every person who has a problem

If it was a realistic-looking image of a nude 13 year old, isn't it child porn?

Sounds like the school and the sheriff's office only started to investigate once the family got lawyers.

If I was her dad, I'd be asking to take candid photo of the staff that took that decision, for no particular reasons, and see them stumble. But apparently "boys will be boys" remain strong :/

I think it's time to start actually protecting and caring for children instead of using them as a scapegoat.

Fine, let her be expelled to be free of those jackoffs, but put him in jail for creating and distributing child pornography.

Oh wait, our system is too screwed up for that.

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.

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.
