Overview
- Schools have reported anonymous social‑media profiles known as 'curis' that post comics, memes or images ridiculing students and teachers and several centres have filed formal complaints.
- National police have issued guidance for victims and opened investigations into the accounts to determine who is posting the material.
- The regional education department has pledged to identify account creators and impose sanctions that can include disciplinary measures or expulsion for serious offenses.
- The profiles are often apparently anonymous while using school names, logos or campus details and have appeared on platforms such as TikTok and Instagram sometimes using AI‑generated images.
- Officials say the posts harm the wellbeing of those targeted and can disrupt school coexistence, which may prompt more complaints, legal action and scrutiny of how platforms respond.
