Six juveniles in Massachusetts were charged in a racial online bullying incident that involved 'heinous' language, threats of 'violence toward people of color' and a mock slave auction, the district attorney for Hampden County said. Students from Southwick, about 104 miles southwest of Boston, allegedly participated in a 'hateful, racist online' Snapchat discussion between Feb. 8 and Feb. 9, Hampden District Attorney Anthony Gulluni said in a statement on Facebook.

'As I have described, through the work of my office’s investigators, and the work in court yet to come, we intend to appropriately punish those whose alleged behavior displayed a capacity for such hatred and cruelty and, ultimately, amounted to chargeable criminal conduct,' he said. The chat was created by a group of 8th-grade students from Southwick Regional School, Gulluni said.
