Local authorities are investigating a racially offensive image that was posted on social media.
In a news release, the Evansville Police Department said officers were contacted Sunday evening about an image showing three white juveniles holding a black baby doll with a string around its neck.
Police say one of the juveniles had a shirt on his head shaped like a KKK hood.
The post identified the juveniles as EVSC students.
Police contacted the school corporation in an effort to identify the kids, and the EVSC provided the names within 30 minutes.
It was determined that the picture was taken at a weekend gathering at a private home in Vanderburgh County.
The information was passed on to the Sheriff's Office, which is now investigating the case.
Evansville Police said the students identified in the image attend a school within the city limits, so the EPD contacted the school’s resource officer.
