My friend showed the class a picture from my teachers public Facebook account, I saved the picture and posted it on Instagram. I did not caption anything mean or spread lies I captioned mood : crippling depression. The teacher called my house saying she press charges on me because this girl showed her I posted it. The next day was perfectly normal, nobody did anything to me at school even tho we have a police officer. My parents wrote her a note asking for forgiveness and I said sorry and apologized to her but he said you can say sorry all you want I already pressed charges I m done with that. I deleted the post before she called me anyways and I deleted it from my phone. Was she just trying to scare me or did she really press charges?
She really can't press charges, but what she could do is register the image and then drag your happy *** - along with your parents - right into court and sue the pants off of you. You deleting the picture means exactly zero. First, she would have gotten screen shots - this is ALL that's needed. Second, she could actually hire a lawyer, get a subpoena, get instagram records and the image you think you deleted, ALL associating with your account, AND your phone. NEVER think nothing can be done, because it can. You are logged everywhere you go on the internet. It's how the internet works. Services like Instagram make backups, so always keep that in mind.
There is no private criminal prosecution in the U.S., The decision to seek a criminal conviction is made by the DA, not by your teacher.
So in your tiny little mind, you are under the belief that claiming someone is cripplingly depressed isn't mean? Even despite that, what you did is considered a crime. She has all the right to press charges, jackass.
She can't press charges on you if you're a minor. I'm sure she is bluffing until she gives you hardcore proof that she is pressing charge. Also, she made her post PUBLIC. Meaning it can be distributed at any given time. She has no concrete evidence that you violated the law. Also, I'd be lmfao.
I would've laughed at her the second she was telling me she was pressing charges. I would've asked her what, exactly, is the charge you are pressing? Then I would've laughed some more. You see, because you got the picture on her public (keyword here being public) Facebook page, in which anyone in the world can see because it's, once again, PUBLIC and she posted it herself, there is nothing a court can do other then toss the case out. If you want to really be a smart ***, next time she threatens you with something, reply back with oh, you mean just like those charges you filed against me?
