"While in school, a 13-year-old Florida teen logged onto a school device and typed something bone chilling into OpenAI's ChatGPT: "How to kill my friend in the middle of class." That's when a school police officer got an immediate alert that this happened via an AI-powered school monitoring system called Gaggle. The officer then cornered the teen, a student at Southwestern Middle School in Deland, a city an hour north of Orlando, local NBC-affiliate WFLA reports."
"The teen claimed he was 'just trolling' a friend, but the police and school administrators obviously didn't think it was a laughing matter - especially in light of America's extensive history of school shootings, such as the tragic massacre at the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, where 17 people died. Local police from the Volusia County Sheriff's Office arrested him and booked him at the county jail."
"Law enforcement warned parents that their children should be very careful about what they ask of ChatGPT. 'Another 'joke' that created an emergency on campus,' the local sheriff's office said, as quoted by WFLA. 'Parents, please talk to your kids so they don't make the same mistake.' Police officers were able to respond quickly because Gaggle is installed on school devices, which can detect if a student has exhibited concerning behavior, whether directed towards themselves or others, and block inappropriate content."

The student said the message was a joke, but law enforcement arrested and booked the student at the county jail. Footage shows the restrained student leaving a police car. Authorities warned parents to talk with children about ChatGPT use. Gaggle can detect concerning behavior and block content, but it has drawn criticism for false alarms and surveillance concerns.
