(AJC) Parents and teachers who may have hoped that school would be back to normal by now instead have another challenge to confront: naughty content sneaking into kids’ virtual classes. Whether the culprits are anonymous hackers with lascivious intent or students engaging in what they might think are funny pranks, the “Peak 2020″ phenomenon has become a wearisome one that could lead to serious consequences.
“We’re 24 hours in, and I’m over it,” the Henry County police department said in a Facebook post Tuesday morning, a whole two days into that county’s school year. Students who stream pornography during online class sessions, the post warned, “could face manufacture and distribution of child pornography charges, child molestation charges, and have to register as a sex offender. This is not a joke.”
