Not much is known about the multiple social media accounts titled Smartschoolboy9. While the account user is believed to be male, everything else is speculation. This user can be found on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook. What is on these accounts is the user dressed in children’s clothing and pretending to be a school boy in stark white makeup who puts himself in suggestive poses.
On these accounts, there can be found heavy AI-generated photos of children, mostly school-aged boys. They are often so distorted that the person’s face is unrecognizable. The photos do not attempt to conceal their creation using AI, with features such as eyes and lips appearing unnaturally large.
An internet safety case is being addressed due to the unsettling nature of one specific photo. While this issue is primarily a concern in the UK, it poses a threat to many children worldwide who use the internet. Although there have been no reports of physical harm, this situation still raises concerns about online safety and could even be considered a form of cyberstalking. It is believed that the reason these accounts are being created is to groom children.
In 2024, people discovered an account on Reddit that featured some notably strange videos. Curious Reddit users began to investigate the identity of the account creator, who is suspected to be named David London. London is recognized for his distinctive fashion sense, which he has maintained since the 1990s. It is uncertain whether the police have contacted London or taken action.
While little is known about the cause or reason behind these accounts, they still demonstrate the importance of taking important internet safety measures. As internet usage increases among younger generations, experts believe that it is important to teach them how to communicate properly on social media, and when it’s best to avoid engaging with others.
