Police charged six eighth graders Thursday for allegedly making “hateful and racist comments” in a group chat that allegedly included threats and a mock slave auction, ABC News reported.
The Massachusetts middle schoolers’ alleged interaction on Snapchat from Feb. 8 to Feb. 9 allegedly included numerous “hateful and racist comments, including notions of violence toward people of color, racial slurs, derogatory pictures and videos, and a mock slave auction directed at two juveniles known to them,” Hampden District Attorney Anthony Gulluni said at a press conference, the outlet noted.
