RADNOR TWP., Pa (WPVI) — Parents connected to a recent AI scandal at Radnor High School addressed school board members Tuesday night, calling for policy changes and improved communication following the filing of charges against a juvenile.
For the first time since charges were announced, parents spoke publicly about the incident, which involved the creation and dissemination of fake sexualized images of students.
“For a teenager, the emotional and psychological effects can be profound,” said Luciana Librandi of Radnor.
The scandal first came to light in December. Radnor police announced harassment charges in late January following an investigation conducted with the Delaware County District Attorney’s Office.

Several parents criticized how the school district handled the investigation and communicated with families.
“Instead of protection, they experienced delay. Instead of accountability, minimization. Instead of safety, silence,” said Adam Dorfman of Wayne.
Parents told the board they want district policies to better reflect the rapid pace of technological change, particularly as artificial intelligence becomes more accessible.
“This is new for our world. It’s new for our kids. It’s new for us,” said parent Carley Boyd of Radnor. “We can’t change what happened; it’s happened. Everything’s been done but going forward. We need to see some change in how the district handles everything.”
“Put in a policy that will better support the kids who are the victims of this,” Boyd added.
During Tuesday’s meeting, school board members discussed possible updates to policies related to bullying, harassment and acceptable uses of technology. The discussion included artificial intelligence and when district rules may apply to off-campus behavior.
“We, like all of you, are learning the nexus between what happens away from school and how it can come into school and impact our students,” said Susan Stern, a Radnor Township School Board member.
Parents said they want future investigations to move more quickly, with firm timelines. They also called for parental consent before student interviews, improved transparency and communication, and annual age-appropriate education on artificial intelligence and the consequences of misuse.
After the meeting, school board members and the district solicitor declined to comment, deferring questions to the superintendent, who was not in attendance and was away at a conference.
