I feel like this can be a nuanced issue, when it comes to kids.

like, it's wrong, but they might not know how much of a violation of privacy it can be because the images "aren't real". plus, they grew up in this digital space, which might make them feel like it's not affecting anyone.

I'm not saying they shouldn't be disciplined, or that they should get away with it because "they're just kids", but there are some things they're still learning that we might take for granted as adults.

I do agree that they should be removed from the victims, by maybe transferring, but they should also have to take some kind of sensitivity training/workshop. I actually think a course like that should be taught so people won't be able to get off on ignorance in the future.

What if we (as in society as a whole) were simply more open to having these discussions with the younger generation - and to them having it with each other - instead of expecting them to magically know it when they hit the relevant age?

If you just make it another class, you will get people who think "this is just another one of those silly teacher/parent rules to keep us away from adult stuff". If it's a normalized conversation, they get to hear about the actual real world situation, in a context they can see is actually real.
