美国各地学校和执法部门就一项在社交媒体上蔓延的"猫在帽子"趋势发出警告1。该趋势涉及使用令人不安或由人工智能生成的苏斯博士角色形象对学生和学校进行威胁1。当局指出,即使声称是玩笑,这类帖子造成他人恐惧可能构成刑事骚扰罪1。
多名青少年因参与此类行为遭到逮捕或起诉1。堪萨斯州一名15岁学生因发布视频而被指控构成两项刑事威胁罪1。乔治亚州Worth县高中的两名学生也因参与这一病毒社交媒体恶作剧遭起诉1。科罗拉多州大章克申市警方在当地一所中学逮捕了一名14岁学生,并增加了警察在学校的驻扎1。执法部门表示,"这些帖子无论是否意图作为笑话,造成他人特别是学生担忧其安全都是非法的"1。
该趋势最初于2026年8月在爱尔兰和英国流传,之后迅速传播到美国和加拿大部分地区1。
American schools and law enforcement agencies have issued warnings regarding a viral "Cat in the Hat" trend circulating on social media, which involves posting disturbing or AI-generated images of Dr. Seuss characters to threaten students and schools.1 Multiple teenagers have been arrested or charged in connection with posts related to this trend, including a 15-year-old student in Kansas and two students from Worth County High School in Georgia.1
Authorities have emphasized that such posts constitute illegal activity regardless of intent. According to a statement from the Hutchinson Police Department, "these posts, whether intended as a joke or not, are illegal if they cause others, particularly students, to worry about their safety."1 The trend originated in August 2026 in Ireland and the United Kingdom before rapidly spreading to parts of the United States and Canada.1
In Colorado, authorities in Grand Junction arrested a 14-year-old student at a middle school in connection with the trend and subsequently increased police presence in schools.1 Teenagers participating in the trend have faced charges including criminal threats, as demonstrated by the two-count criminal threat charges brought against the 15-year-old Hutchinson High School student.1
