WAUKESHA, Wis. (WLS) -- Police say two 12-year-old girls lured a friend into some woods in southeastern Wisconsin where one of them held her down as the other stabbed her 19 times.

Rope and tree, time to set some precedents.

In the criminal complaint, one of them said, something to the effect that people who trust you are gullible.

It feels very Manson-like.

They were trying to become “proxies” of a fictional evil character called Slender Man.

The one with a paid defense attorney was trying to get her into a very expensive private mental hospital.

A new take on the Knockout Game and apparently much more violent.

Ah, that's from the article's referenced internet site?

[MediaMole]

They were on a site called Creepypasta.com, where people share horror stories. Apparently, they were too stupid or crazy to realize they were just fictional stories people wrote.

>> the devil is truly on the loose

Another way of making my point that existence is intrinsically evil — something even the godless should understand.

[GeronL]

Our culture has degraded to the point where this has become more common, evil prevails while good is banned as offensive

[Alberta's Child]

I don't see the problem. They were playing "Kermit Gosnell Goes to Work."

/sarcasm off/
/not really/

[hinckley buzzard]

Both perps were white.

Fortunately, the girl in this case survived. I can’t help being reminded, though, of the Shanda Sharer murder from 1992:

“They explained to police that they’d regularly visited an internet site that carried horror and murder stories, and they figured that a real murder would win them favor with a fictional web site character they believed to be real.”

Parents need to parent.

[Bogey78O]

Essentially. Not him but the general ideology.

IF at 12, they surfed Creepypasta and worshipped Slenderman then something inside these girls is horribly broken and their parents really really screwed up.

don’t think the song is about doing it with a knife, however

[HiTech RedNeck]

And all need to care more about God. This isn’t naughtiness, this is heavy duty twisted EVIL.

[a fool in paradise]

In Before The National Call To Ban Guns!

[Dallas59]

While I believe that kids should have supervised access to the Internet....these two monsters saying they believe a fictional character to be real...is horse(fill in the blank).

[HiTech RedNeck]

People are going to worship. The only question is... what??

[HiTech RedNeck]

Rope and tree will do no good, except the tree on which Christ died. Dig?

[Mastador1]

The act, the ages, and possibly unfettered internet access, I'm sorry but WTF? Unfettered internet access is responsible for this? I think they ought to be considering what was or wasn't going on with the parents of these two for this much evil. Yeah surely it was because of video content on the internet, right!
