Hampden District Attorney Anthony described the incident as a"hateful, racist online chat that included heinous language, threats and a mock slave auction"Multiple youths are facing charges in connection with a serious racial bullying incident that occurred last month in Southwick, Massachusetts, involving a"mock slave auction" on social media.
All six are being charged with threat to commit a crime. Two of those kids are also being charged with interference with civil rights, and one of those two is additionally facing a witness interference charge.The district attorney said he can't divulge as much as he wants to given that these charges are being filed in juvenile court. Their names also cannot be released, but Gullani said they are 13-14 years old.
The district attorney said he has met personally with the identified victims and their families. He said prosecutors and investigators worked diligently to hold accountable provable criminal acts that occurred. Gullani said they intend to appropriately punish those whose allegedly behavior displaced a capacity for such hatred and cruelty, and ultimately amounted to chargeable criminal conduct.
Gullani said he has initiated three forward-looking steps to confront this problem in Hampden County with the hope that we can prevent future harm, encourage empathy and build stronger communities that are free of hate.
