Parents sue Google after 13-year-old's AI chats on school Chromebook preceded suicide plan

A new California lawsuit alleges a 13-year-old in Charlotte, N.C. grew convinced she had multiple mental disorders after months of chatting with Google's AI Mode on a school-issued Chromebook, then searched for "what is a suicide note" and drafted one in Google Docs. The suit argues Google's school ecosystem pushed AI into classrooms, and it lands amid rising litigation over Big Tech's harms to children and calls for child-safe search without chatbots.
