Mother says daughter's school records posted on Instagram

“It shows schools, name, her last year’s grade,” Harris said.

Harris laid out several personal documents on her dining room table that she said include all of her daughter’s personal information. She said someone took a picture of each document and posted them on Instagram.

“This one shows multiple files, not just my student's files,” Harris said.

One document is a handwritten note her daughter, Nzinga, wrote after disciplinary action at Frederick Douglass High School.

“It opens the door for bullying, mistrust,” Harris said.

When she contacted the school, she said the principal apologized and told her the room where the files were found was used as a storage room that was later converted into a computer lab.

In an email, he wrote, “The previous academy leader left the files in an unsecured file cabinet in the room. ... Necessary steps have been taken to ensure that files are appropriately secured.”

Harris said she didn't believe the information was out there at first until her daughter pulled up the Instagram account.

“Her Social Security in digits. ... It showed the address. It was very detailed, what was put on Instagram,” Harris said.

Harris quickly contacted Instagram but said she's still worried.

“It was taken down; however, it was already out there. I don't know how long or how many people out there saw her information,” Harris said.

WSB-TV also reached out to Atlanta Public Schools on Saturday about the files and were waiting to hear back.

The principal told Harris that he was very concerned. He said the documents would be shredded – and they should have been shredded before.
