"Slenderman" tells 12-year old Girls to Stab Friend!

[NightOfTheLiving_Sam]

I've been watching a lot of these Creepypasta's lately and their indeed creepy but these 12 years old should know better than to do this to someone. This is tragic indeed and it's horrible how influenced kids are these days. They see a video and go off and do this; but than again not all kids will go out and do this and I'm aware of this. However some children need to be monitored on their computers to prevent such tragedies from happening. =(

Two girls accused of stabbing a friend to impress the fictional Internet bogeyman Slenderman have been found competent to stand trial.

The decision came out of a Wisconsin courtroom Thursday, Waukesha County Circuit Court reporter Kathy Fus told CNN.

Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier have been charged with attempted murder after authorities say they stabbed their classmate 19 times in May. All three were 12 at the time.

The suspects allegedly left the victim to crawl to her own rescue. She was taken to a hospital after a passing bicyclist found her.

It's not solely the internet that does this. Those girls had to have some sort of mental disorder because no sane person would do that.

Slender Man stabbing: Wisconsin girls must be tried as adults, judge says

Two Wisconsin girls accused of repeatedly stabbing a classmate to please an imaginary internet monster named Slender Man must stand trial as adults, a judge ruled on Friday.

Waukesha County Circuit judge Michael Bohren spent a month deliberating over the evidence provided during a two-day preliminary trial last month before deciding that the girls should be charged with first-degree murder in adult court.

Under Wisconsin law, suspects at least 10 years of age must be charged as adults in severe crimes. Defense lawyers argued that the girls legitimately believed Slender Man was going to harm their families if they didn’t kill their classmate. As a result, they argued, the girls should instead be charged with second-degree murder, which can be tried in juvenile court.
