The shocking image is a very explicit internet joke meant to startle.
An individual who collaborates with educators and students tweeted to Seesaw: “You have a messaging bug that permits an indecent picture to be distributed to families and instructors across several districts. Do something, please!”
“Widely available compromised emails/passwords that were reused across services were used to gain unauthorised access to Seesaw accounts,” it said.
Some parents told US media of their horror when the image appeared in group chats.
The head of one school in Milwaukee warned parents not to blame those who appeared to have sent the message.
“While specific parent names were attached to these messages,” the school’s statement said, “we know that these parents were not involved.”JAMB Result
