Photo of stripped student may have far-reaching effects - FOX5 Vegas - KVVU: LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -
A picture of a Durango High School student in nothing but her underwear was blasted all over social media.
It's not clear if the girl pictured was a willing participant, but what is clear, the students who took the photo and posted it online could face serious consequences.
"I was really sad because I felt for that girl," said Family Therapist Donna Wilburn. "She was being exploited in that moment. One embarrassing moment is going to turn into what could be a traumatizing moment."
Wilburn considers it a form of psychological, even sexual, abuse.
What makes matters worse is the picture shows several male students capturing it on their cell phones.
