Default Two twelve year old girls attempt to murder their friend for the Slender Man

http://www.smh.com.au/technology/tec...604-zrwu4.html

The poor girl... I can't imagine what she's going through. Who would try to murder someone for a fictional character?!

And now apparently some news sources are saying that Slender Man fans (which would include me) are a cult. Do we have a facepalm smiley?

I couldn't believe it when I first read about it. Truly terrible.

I am sure that there are some who would welcome this as an intro into a discussion about religion.

I saw a debate on FB about his, one side upset 12 year olds are being charged as adults and can face 60 years and the other side the punishment fit the crime. Not sure how I feel, 12 years old is young to charge as an adult, minds not even developed. Certainly some mental issues going on here at such a young age...Scary, is two agreed to do it.

And people call ME crazy, although that's because of my Aryan side of the family (dont worry, not a Nazi).

Have to wonder what the two were thinking. Hopefully not 'Oh, there's no one we hate. Let's go stab our best friend. It'll be fun!' This also begs the question:
WHERE THE H%#! WERE THE PARENTS? A MONTH or so of planning, there should have been some clue.

The girl must have someone upstairs too. Stab wound only millimeters from an artery.

These two are emotionally detached from reality. Charging as an adult offers the availability to hold these two indefinitely until deemed sane and back from whatever fantasy they currently live. In the past young kids conspired to murder. Nothing new. These two however are very very young and this makes it that much more disturbing.
