Fuck AI

I read the actual article when it was posted on social media weeks ago right after it happened.

I want you to understand something. Revenge porn is a crime and a horribly traumatizing experience. She didn't beat the kid up. She hit him. He didn't end up in hospital.

The school literally is at fault because they didn't actually do their due diligence to find out what happened and make even the most miniscule attempt to prevent the circulation of such photos. They expected a child or group of children to admit to circulating pornographic materials. If the school bus has video/photo evidence that this student had or circulated those materials he should be facing expulsion.

What we have to look at is whether or not this was self defense. I'd argue that the victim was trying to defend her right to privacy and to not have pornography materials of her spread around the school. This was defense of her mental health when the system failed.

I'd argue that while I don't condone fighting this is exactly the situation that leads to it and the school administration let it happen. Why did they allow these kids to get on the same bus? Why was she refused permission to call home? Why didn't they have her parent or guardian come pick her up?

There were multiple points where the school could have done something to mitigate the circumstances around this assault. They didn't. They failed. And then they punished her and did nothing to fix the situation where a real and serious criminal act involving CP circulation was happening.

That's bullshit.

Edit: You know what I think is even more bullshit? The situation probably wouldn't have gotten a resolution at all if she hadn't "snapped" . There's thousands of kids getting bullied everyday who don't snap and the only time their situation changes is when they are perceived to have done something wrong due to continued abuse being heaped upon them that the adults do nothing about. That's not okay.
