A 13-year-old student in Lafourche Parish, Louisiana, was expelled after hitting a classmate who allegedly created and shared a deepfake pornographic image of her. The family’s lawyers plan to file a federal lawsuit against the school district, citing the school’s failure to address the bullying and the disproportionate punishment. While the school board allowed the student to return on probation, the expulsion remains on her record. Law enforcement is also investigating, with one student charged with multiple counts related to the AI-generated images, but the victim will not be charged.

Girl, 13, expelled for hitting classmate who made a deepfake porn image of her, lawyers say, and the first thought that comes to mind is just sheer disbelief. How does a situation like this even *happen*? It’s almost too much to process, a thirteen-year-old girl, the victim of a deeply disturbing act, and then *she* ends up facing severe consequences while the alleged perpetrator seems to skate by. The sheer injustice of it all is immediately apparent. You can’t help but feel a wave of anger and frustration washing over you, imagining the helplessness and the trauma this girl must have endured.
During the meeting, it’s mentioned that the girl attempted to contact her father during the school day, but was blocked by school officials. This detail just adds fuel to the fire. As a parent, that would be infuriating. Your daughter is in a crisis, she needs you, and the school is actively preventing communication. The paternal instinct would kick in hard, a desire to protect and defend rising up. It feels like the school is actively trying to sweep the whole mess under the rug, and that’s just unacceptable.
It’s hard to understand how the father is holding no animosity towards the boy that created the porn deepfake of his daughter. It’s truly baffling. The very idea that someone would create such a thing, targeting a child, is sickening. And the fact that the school seemingly ignored the bullying and acted with zero tolerance against the victim is a slap in the face. It makes you wonder what kind of environment these kids are growing up in.
It’s hard to imagine being a parent and sending a child to a school like this. The utter disregard for the safety and well-being of the students is appalling. Zero tolerance policies are supposed to be about preventing harm, but here they seem to be used to punish the victim and protect the bully. It feels like the system is rigged against the vulnerable, and the school’s response is an absolute failure.
The core question becomes, when did schools start expelling kids for hitting? In this case, it feels like the school is punishing her for standing up for herself, while the actual perpetrator, the one who caused the trauma in the first place, faces… what, exactly? It’s a fundamental misunderstanding of justice. He made child pornography, for all intents and purposes. She hit him, and now she is being punished. It makes you question the values being taught at this school.
It is clear that the girl is the victim. The fact that deepfake technology was used to not just bully, but create *child porn* and then distribute it, is horrifying. This isn’t just a case of schoolyard drama; this is a serious crime, and the school’s response, or lack thereof, is simply mind-boggling. You can’t help but wonder how these kids even get the access to such technology in the first place.
The potential legal ramifications of this whole situation are immense. If the boy used a family-owned device, it could open a can of worms, potentially implicating the parents in the possession of child pornography. There could be lawsuits, criminal charges, and a whole lot of fallout. The very idea of the child porn being passed around on all the other devices, and these are all devices that are likely in their parents’ names, makes the whole thing feel all the more disturbing.
The scenario evokes the classic feeling of victim-blaming and gaslighting that often occurs when victims of abuse come forward. The school’s actions seem to prioritize protecting the institution’s reputation over the well-being of the student. Punishing the retaliator but not the instigator, is, to put it mildly, disgusting. You would not want your child in that school and there should be a lot of change.
The fact that the girl is 13 adds another layer of complexity. At that age, she’s still a child. Deepfake technology in the hands of a kid, used to create child porn, is an incredibly dangerous and disturbing combination. You can’t help but be concerned about how this experience will shape her future. As it stands, it’s a terrifying situation.
The article mentions “brave hero,” and it makes you think about all the other kids out there who may be facing similar situations. The lack of support and understanding in these environments is devastating. It seems like the adults in this situation have completely failed in their responsibility to protect and guide these young people.
Although it is correct that you can’t just hit people, regardless of the cause, in this situation, it is pretty normal. There should be a lot of anger that the other kid is not facing worse trouble. The fact is, that the school expelled both of them; the boy for what he did, and the girl for hitting him. In other words, there is hope that the boy is facing charges. It does not excuse her actions, but it provides a more fair result.
