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.

If this were my child, I would take her out for a burger and milkshake (or whatever she wanted) and buy her something nice. A toy, a game, something like that.
Cool stuff, but that doesn’t fix that. She needs a new school in a different place.
She also needs financial compensations. Ideally in the 10s of thousands. Let her have that money as well, fuck it.
AI needs a bailout bro. Too big to fail. National security. new cornerstone of our society.
Ah ha, OpenAI’s logo is a diagram of their business model.
And the classmate got a prestigious job in tech i assume?
He got charges pressed on him for the deepfake porn, so potentially he got a ‘bad-bad’ charge, as AfterPrisonShow puts it.
Politics
He’s on his way to a cabinet position
They’re floating him for supreme court justice
How is it acceptable anywhere for someone to be expelled for hitting someone else, in a scenario like this where the cause is completely understandable? If anything, the kid making deepfake porn should be the one expelled because that kinda thing can be legitimately life-ruining for its target. The person being expelled had every reason, right, and justification to throw hands.
I’m probably sounding like Ailurus here, but this is screwed up.
Also, isn’t deepfake porn a crime in a lot of places even if it’s of adults, and not of kids like in this case, which is already hella illegal on its own?
Zero tolerance for physical violence: they say it’s always unacceptable (exactly like that, I imagine)
So expel the target of a potentially life-ruining act and also a potential crime, and not the person making the deepfake porn. That makes perfect sense.
/sarcasmReally, that deepfake porn is going to do worse damage to someone who isn’t even in high school yet, than a slug to the face ever will; that black-eye will heal, the reputational damage caused by someone making deepfake porn of you, not so much, and deepfake porn is a crime in a lot of places to boot.
Stay classy Louisiana…
I got suspended for defending myself against getting hit in the head with a chair when I was a kid. School policies are totally fucked. Guess they just wanted me to stand there and sustain massive head trauma? Assholes.
I got jumped in 10th P.E. in the locker room by a bunch of guys in the class. I got in trouble for defending myself with a weapon (locker padlock) and forced to apologize to my attackers who were not punished in any way.
In 12th grade in another state, I got attacked by a bully. I happened to have on me a rusty box cutter that I almost threw away that morning because it was falling apart. For some reason, I put it in a pocket instead. When I was attacked, I remembered it and used it. I got suspended for 3 days but the bully had to get tetanus shots.
When I was in school, if someone hit you over the head with a chair and you didn’t fight back, you still got suspended because you were “involved” in a fight.
Because the fight itself is an inconvenience for the school. Also, they figure you probably asked for it at some point.
Ya many schools have taken a zero tolerance route which means you don’t really get any punishment expect for expulsion. Something like that should have been handled in a much different way.
I got a friday night detention for throwing one punch at a student who was attacking me. I threw that punch after descalation did not work, and as soon as I saw a teacher I signalled for help. My dad confronted the vice principle who was the one who gave me the punishment and my dad asked him what I should have done. The VP told my dad I did as I should have and as what was expected, but that the school has a zero tolerance policy so I still needed to be punished.
Yep. I have been suspended twice for fighting. In both cases the other person hit me first. The first time it happened I didn’t even somebody throw a puncha and had not time to even defend myself. The second time I did defend myself, but it literally involves pushing the person away.
In both cases the school administration did not care and my parents went up to the school to make complaints.
Ita bullshit, but this is exactly the problem. Schools have zero tolerance policies to protect themselves rather than to protect students.
Yep, if you’re getting suspended no matter what you do, might as well go to town so that everyone else is to afraid to try again next time because of what happened to the last attacker.
Effectively, it’s an enticement to escalate violence rather than try and diffuse the situation once violence starts.
“They pull a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. That’s the Chicago Way.”
We’ve a great phrase for that here:
“May as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb”
(i.e. if you’re going to be hung it doesn’t matter if they call you a sheep or a lamb so press on)
I always understood that phrase as more like “no point in half measures if the consequences are the same”, because a lamb is a small sheep.
Yeah you could definitely take it that way. The first time I heard it I asked the lad what the hell it meant and that’s what he told me. Both fit in fairness.
Edit: upon reflection I like your interpretation more
“In for a penny, in for a pound.”
But yours is more on point. :)
She needs a commendation, not an expulsion for god’s sake.

shouldn’t that be considered child porn…?
The incident occurred at Sixth Ward Middle School in August when the school year began. The girl’s father, Joseph Daniels, and the attorneys say the young girl endured bullying after the deepfake nude image was circulated throughout the school.
Not only child porn, but distribution of child porn too.
Not a good look there LaFourche Parish School District, or the specific school in question!
I hope she gets justice.
I’ve been hearing the argument that since it was AI, ‘it’s not real porn’. Which is the slimiest, scummiest argument I’ve seen.
The second slimiest was that the girl deserves to be punished for fighting back after NONE of the adults at school helped her.
Like, if she’d thrown hands right off she probably should have gotten a scolding, but she tried to get the adults to intervene. They’re the ones who made it clear to her that she had to handle it herself. So she did.
She doesn’t even deserve to get suspended for basically defending herself from someone making CSAM of her, let alone expelled. She was in the right and should’ve gotten off scott free, the guy making the CSAM is the one who should’ve been expelled, on top of getting bad-bad charges for it, which he did get charged for it.
Remember folks, do not aim to get in fights, but if you must fight, make sure you finish it.
FLAWLESS VICTORY
FATALITY
Toasty!
aaaaaaand that’s a production of CP charge.
It’s fucking Louisiana. They’ll elect the little shit Governor.
That’s a conservative trait like throwing people out of windows is a Russian politician trait.
this is like that last south park episode
My daughter would not be in trouble for this, regardless of the school’s reaction.
I think we should loose our minds over this without knowing the full story.
If you disagree ill make a sora of you agreeing.
Full story is that it did happen. Theres a kid been charged with 10 counts of distributing faked nude images of a minor. So it happened.
Lose
Bullied kid who fights backs is the one to be punished. A tale as old as time
They really should’ve gotten help instead of, or at least before lashing out. And never respond to nonviolence with violence
