"Investigation Launched into Circulation of Inappropriate Photos at Southern California High School"

The Los Angeles Unified School District is investigating allegations of students at Fairfax High School creating and sharing "inappropriate images" on a third-party messaging app, similar to recent incidents at other local public schools. It remains unclear if the images were generated using AI, as was the case at Beverly Vista Middle School, where eight students were expelled for sharing nude AI photos of classmates. The district is committed to providing training on the ethical use of technology, including AI, and enhancing education around digital citizenship, privacy, and safety for all in school communities.

The Rise of 'Dumbphones' Among Gen Z in the U.S.

The trend of opting for dumbphones is on the rise in the US, with some parents considering it as an option for their children's first phone. Pediatrician Dr. Elizabeth Murray advises parents to teach their children about digital citizenship and the threats of social media. She suggests that direct contact is necessary, but access to social media is not. Parents should find common ground with their children and the device, and ensure that no technology is in their child's room at night for proper sleep and mental health.
