The families of the three high school students of La Salle San Ildefonso School in Santa Cruz de Tenerife who appear in photos of fake nudes spread by two classmates are demanding guarantees that all traces of these images are deleted.
Their concerns are now focused, after taking this case to the National Police, on knowing if those manipulated snapshots with artificial intelligence could have come from the students’ mobile phones and WhatsApp chats, which would complicate their elimination.
The Juvenile Prosecutor’s Office, the Minors Group (Grume) of the National Police of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and the Educational Inspection are investigating the two boys from La Salle who had on their mobiles and shared via WhatsApp a score of photos of at least three classmates and three or four other unrelated girls.

They show fake nudes created with one of the free and accessible apps that can generate these photos from anyone’s face. Those in this case had the app’s watermark: Undress.
The mother of one of the minors featured in those images, who is in coordination with the families of the other two girls, has requested “more information” from the authorities of La Salle School and “full guarantees that every possible effort will be made, both with the two identified students and any others who may have received and distributed those photos, to erase those images and leave no trace.” “So far we do not know the extent to which the distribution of these snapshots may have reached, which I have not wanted to see under any circumstances,” the woman details.

They also demand a greater commitment from the officials of the private educational institution, with over 1,500 students in kindergarten, primary, and secondary, to raise awareness among students that an episode like this cannot be repeated. “Children must be aware that this harm cannot be caused, they cannot play with the honour of their classmates. They must be fully conscious that such acts are very serious and cannot be tolerated,” the mother adds.
“There is a lot to be done in educational institutions to work on affective and sexual education,” emphasizes this Tenerife woman, who believes that the school responded “very late” after becoming aware that two students had on their mobiles photos of classmates that could be considered illegal due to honour damages. “They told us they were going to the Juvenile Prosecutor’s Office quickly but only did so after the families of the minors went to the National Police to report the incidents.”
Educational Inspection, a department of the Ministry of Education of the Government of the Canary Islands which this mother also went to denounce, has confirmed that it has opened a case to investigate what happened, which is the first case of its kind in the Canary Islands and that La Salle School “complied with the protocol” for such cases: that is, bring the matter to the Inspection itself and to the Juvenile Prosecutor’s Office to hold responsible parties accountable.
“The families are very indignant and concerned about what happened. I at least think that the school should have responded earlier. I am left with the feeling that they went to the prosecutor’s office when they found out that the families had taken the case to the Police,” she concludes.
