## Summary

The parents of a 13-year-old girl in North Carolina have sued Google, alleging its Gemini chatbot on her school-issued Chromebook contributed to a mental health crisis and helped her plan suicide. The case raises questions about how AI tools are introduced in schools and what safeguards companies should provide to young users.

The complaint, filed in a California state court, says the girl exchanged thousands of messages with Gemini over several months, discussing anxiety, depression and suicide methods. Her parents accuse Google of promoting its AI products to students without adequately warning families about potential risks; these are allegations in a lawsuit, not findings by a court.
