us to film at her school because she wants to call attention to the problem of potentially harmful content on students' cellphones. and it's a topic that's not widely discussed right now. on the. problem from why do people send these pictures. maybe to get clicks on like on instagram to all of mexico i think it's cut it's such decent stuff i don't see why anyone would be dumb enough to send something like that as well as you know. these sorts of stickers are especially popular among students you can even design them yourself. but some of these images contain material that's illegal in germany. one student allowed us to look at the content on his phone he says he has nothing to hide one image caught us by surprise. and then his hand hit a hipster sticker. i don't know where that came from. adam if it had
6:07 am
of hitler or 6000000 kilts maybe your own and cadence. it seem i like cleaner that's a picture of a black child who's been placed and that's always let us a cool although i don't look at that stuff i mean. and here's a message that's pretty rude so it's that. the student says he sometimes gets 200 messages a day. triggs off i get so many of the wrong going to i don't like it because i don't know what's on my phone was a list of the many i try to delete as much as i can push. ups through these images bother you. as a huge job on from my they did it 1st. but then you get used to it and that's pretty bad too that's mentioned on movement as he received his 1st disturbing

sticker when he was 12 years old. this is an exhibit of the lives of young people during the nazi era and today some german students are exchanging nazi images how can we explain this. zelda miller often asks herself that same question schools are simply not prepared to deal with the fact that students are sharing images of animal cruelty violence porn and adolf hitler. he defines it as part. of fear and a lot of people feel helpless and when they ask me what should be done i often don't have and since people benefit also but we need to help those students cope with this situation. we've now come to a hostile work to meet with an attorney who warns students about the dangers of digital communication. she holds online seminars to explain what is acceptable on
6:09 am
the internet and what isn't. schools from all over germany have asked for her advice 10 schools are taking part in today's seminar. does the quantity list or not honest we have schools from several states today including north rhine-westphalia honest all german states but not at once you know exactly what i celebrate if we had all the states taking part at the same time. but usually it's just 4 or 5 from. the back. national problem yes i'll schools yes no exceptions. and. some young people might post an objectionable image because they think it's funny but it may also be illegal. and she would want a new good morning from rostock. we have 10 classes with us and none today
6:10 am
i'm going to talk about illegal internet content that you may find on your phone or abused or you no doubt familiar with these images. out of hitler was responsible for the deaths of millions of people become option says i like you i'll guess you lost honestly just don't share these images rises feel if you many people are offended by such things but they don't speak up and our demise. i guess is you need to say clearly you don't like lines of us the scenes of us thousands of us and if you feel uncomfortable just leave the chat group that all's done good to hope you stick and then there are means like the also the leak of it harden chords. that pictures of swastikas and hitler salutes give it a spare tire the same goes for images of nazi party badge as a staff bar even if it's just a cartoon character giving a nazi salute since i can't understand why people share this material it's not cool it's not funny it's illegal this last exist garnished as least after.
6:11 am
but only those who are 14 years of age or older are subject to prosecution for posting illegal content. still young p. . well to understand clearly what sorts of material are unacceptable. as we have to explain the legal aspect to that if. the law says that we can steal or run a red light young people know that. but this technology was created by adults for adults and we have to make sure that the students are aware of the risks and. stockman has kept a file of all the images that she's accumulated over the years. some of this material is disgusting but not all of it is illegal. to continue would also kill her and it says kick the jew out of the group in the
6:12 am
f.b.i. you see this sort of thing more and more often so people get used to me today and the standards of social inhibition affording. and that's a dangerous trend right down to just fit. the pattern is always the same this content is presented as a joke in order to lighten its tone without changing it. another image about the extermination of the jews. cooking with adolf step one turn on the gas. i just saw this material is racist and miss such innocent it promotes hatred and it's anti-semitic shit crater's share this stuff with us and so do the older kids so i have no concerns at all about posting this montagne. there is another disturbing development at the hardened school an image involving child pornography is being passed around. one student gets the image and sends it
6:13 am
to another. before long hundreds of young people have seen it. the image is appalling we're not going to show it to you. the photograph shows an adult male penetrating a young girl. yeah it just makes your head spin as nothing is taboo anymore the soon to to some yeah absolutely nothing at all. we talked to some of the students who saw the image on their phone in her school class the picture with the young girl appeared here 1st why did nobody put a stop to it. most kids just didn't care. maybe there was shocked when they 1st saw. you think about it for
6:14 am
a minute at the time and then forget about it. that's when he says that's remarkable you say students didn't. it didn't mean anything to them so it wasn't exactly breaking new not just targets. it didn't mean anything it wasn't breaking news that's horrifying please explain it to me these threats are clear i'll try anything to yourself that's disgusting but you don't spend all day thinking about it for the image was shocking to people who think about it for 5 minutes send it to your friends and say to them from the shoot on the look this is disgusting we're not she doesn't for talk about it for a while and then it's all about who this is i'm trying to guess and as some people see so much stuff that they get used to it. the internet separates you a bit from it all right and if you saw this in real life i'm going to be upset. and
6:15 am
it's really seemed to be if i saw 2 people fighting here right now it would have a real impact on me because it would actually be happening right in front of me and i tell my parents and yet if i see an image of something well it's just a picture and. some people have gotten used to seeing disturbing images it's just a picture. and even those who are shocked by these images. don't speak up. i insist not one of our 803 students came to me and said this is wrong in others i found that difficult as well on a personal level if my students have a problem like if someone has insulted them or if they've been bullied on the web bombs they always come to me and i help them yes i often say but here we have a picture that obviously portrays criminal activity and no one came to me to report it. when school officials found out about the image they responded immediately
6:16 am
