Main Points
After the case involving students at a school in Lomas de Zamora, in which they created, shared and sold AI‑generated images of classmates in the nude, other similar incidents have come to light. In the western part of the province, students from Thomas Alva Edison School in Ituzaingó and Instituto Murialdo in Villa Bosch reported that the same type of wrongdoing occurred at their schools. At Thomas Alva Edison, a secondary student received a WhatsApp message stating that photos of her were circulating in a Telegram group. She reported the incident to school officials, who arranged a meeting with her family the following day. The case prompted two judicial complaints: one filed by a family and another by the school director, Rodrigo Herrera. A student has been identified and admitted to editing the body and face of his classmate. Herrera said the student was suspended to allow the situation to be addressed and to give the victim the option to return to school when she wishes. He added that, despite discussions on grooming and social media safety, the measures taken had not been sufficient. Herrera also emphasized the importance of prevention through collaboration with families. “We need to start thinking about the internet as a territory that must be occupied, cared for, controlled, and discussed,” he said. “It’s not enough to ask how a student is doing at school; we must also ask how they are doing online, because there is a subculture that can trap young people’s consciousness.” At Instituto Murialdo, female students alleged that, over the past three years, students aged 13 to 17 have edited nude photos of them using AI. Both the minors and their families claim they received inadequate responses from the school. The accused were reportedly moved to different classes, and the victims were asked to participate in a “day of forgiveness” and to remain silent about the events. The school declined to answer questions from Clarín, requesting that inquiries be sent in writing. As of the end of the edition, no response had been received. In early October, the Buenos Aires Senate approved the Ema Law to prevent digital violence in schools. The law is named after 15‑year‑old Ema Bondaruk, who committed suicide after classmates shared intimate images of her without consent. The legislation establishes a provincial program to provide schools with tools for a non‑violent digital education, prevention, and support mechanisms for sexual and gender‑based violence in virtual environments.
