Phoebe Prince tormentors indicted for role in her death

South Hadley, Massachusetts is the nice, comfortable middle-class suburb where Phoebe Prince was driven to commit suicide after constant taunting, bullying and intimidation from a clique known as the “Mean Girls of South Hadley.” Nine teenagers in total are indicted by Massachusetts District Attorney Elizabeth Scheibel for a series of actions that are believed to have pushed Phoebe Prince to despondency and eventual suicide Nine teenagers have indicted by Massachusetts District Attorney Elizabeth Scheibel for actions that are believed to been what pushed Prince to despondency and eventual suicide. It was reported that multiple students and at least one school faculty member of South Hadley High School saw what the Mean Girls of Hadley did to Phoebe Prince. Dscriber said the events "went unreported to school administrators until after Phoebe's death."

Prince was 15 years old

She had settled in a cozy Massachusetts town from Ireland. Prince evidently had never seen anything like the bullying the Mean Girls of South Hadley had to offer bullying. That Phoebe Prince was pretty drew the attention of the clique, but the fact she dated a senior football player when she was a freshman was apparently too much to ignore. She was always being "put in her place" by the clique when others saw and did nothing. Because of their popularity, the Mean Girls of Hadley had more freedom in what they could do than the less popular bullies.

Some of the charges which were brought against the Mean Girls of South Hadley and accomplices.

This is what is known so far, per Dscriber:

  • Sean Mulveyhill, 17 – statutory rape, violation of civil rights, criminal harassment, disturbance of a school assembly
  • Austin Renaud, 18 – statutory rape
  • Kayla Narey, 17 – violation of civil rights, criminal harassment, disturbance of a school assembly
  • Ashley Longe, 16 – violation of civil rights, as a youthful offender
  • Flannery Mullins, 16 – violation of civil rights as a youthful offender, stalking as a youthful offender
  • Sharon Chanon Velazquez, 16 – violation of civil rights as a youthful offender, stalking as a youthful offender
  • Three juveniles, all females from South Hadley, charged as juveniles (names not released)

As far as we know, no South Hadley School officials are being charged yet.
