Houston Mother Demands Action after Privacy Invasion at IDEA Hardy Charter School

After her special needs son was the victim of an intrusive privacy violation at his school, a Houston mother is demanding justice. Aliver Canas-Fragoso, 15, was photographed while using the restroom at IDEA Hardy Charter School in late September without his permission. The family has apparently experienced severe distress as a result of this image being shared via Airdrop with at least one other student and a teacher.

Aliver’s mother, Alessandra Canas, told ABC13 that she was shocked and upset, saying, “That’s quite sad because you don’t want to see that on their Facebook or Instagram or TikTok. That is really embarrassing. Houston police and the IDEA Charter Schools network are working together on the investigation, but the culprit has not yet been found.

Alessandra Canas promptly reported the event to the police after being informed about it by a teacher. However, according to CW39’s report, the Houston Police Department stated that charges could not be brought since there was no suspect identification at the school. In contrast, IDEA Public Schools reaffirmed its dedication to ensuring a secure learning environment for all students and strongly denounced the student’s privacy infringement in a statement.

For Alessandra Canas, who has struggled to locate a school in the Aldine area that can accommodate her son’s needs, the news is very important. She has decided to keep her son enrolled at IDEA Hardy in spite of the situation. The school released a statement stating that the inquiry is still ongoing and that records indicate the youngster was not obliged to use a specialist restroom at the time of the event.

Alessandra Canas is unwavering in her quest for justice as it continues. “All I want is for that individual to be apprehended because what if it had happened to another student? Or another child with unique needs like mine,” Canas stated in the ABC13 interview while crying. The event has sparked more conversation about school safety and privacy by drawing attention to the difficulties that kids, particularly those with special needs, have in learning environments.
