Taking a picture, sending it to someone else and thinking it will disappear after a few seconds is the idea of Snapchat, but sophomores at a high school in Massachusetts are learning that’s not necessarily the case.
The principal of Weston High School had to have a meeting with the sophomore boys explaining a Snapchat account used compromising photos of them.I
It is unknown if the person who created the account is a student, male or female, or an adult.
It is also not known if any girls were targeted.
