Unbelievable... "They wanted to show their dedication to Slenderman"

http://www.cnn.com/2014/06/02/justice/wisconsin-girl-stabbed/?c=&page=1

(CNN) - Two 12-year-old girls inspired by Internet horror stories are accused of luring a girl of the same age into a wooded area near Milwaukee before stabbing the victim 19 times and leaving her to crawl to her own rescue over the weekend.

The victim, a 12-year-old friend of the suspects, was in stable condition at a hospital Monday, two days after a bicyclist found her on along a road in Waukesha, city Police Chief Russell Jack said.

The suspects were arrested hours after the girl was found Saturday, and they were being held on preliminary charges of attempted first-degree intentional homicide.

The girls were identified in a criminal complaint as Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier.

They are being charged as adults and appeared in court Monday. Bail was set for each in the amount of $500,000, according to Waukesha County District Attorney Brad Schimel.

The suspects attended the same middle school as the victim and had a sleepover at the home of one of the suspects Friday night, Jack said.

"Both suspects had a fascination with a fictitious character that often posted" to websites dealing with stories about death and horror, the police chief told reporters at a news conference.

According to the criminal complaint, the suspects had been planning the attack since February.

They first thought to kill the victim by placing duct tape over her mouth while she was sleeping and stabbing her in the neck, the complaint read.

Next, the plan was to kill her in a bathroom where there was floor drain that could make cleanup easier, it continued.

But, finally, the girls decided to do it in a park while playing a game of hide-and-seek, the complaint read.

It states: "As they left for the park ... (the victim) was walking in front of them and Geyser lifted up the left side of her while jacket and displayed the knife tucked in her waistband. Weier stated she gave Geyser a look with wide eyes and, when asked what that meant Weier stated, 'I thought, dear god, this was really happening.'"

Some of the girl's major organs were struck, but she survived.

One of the stab wounds was near her heart and she was "one millimeter away from certain death," the complaint read.

After the suspects left, the victim crawled out of the woods and onto a road, where the bicyclist found her.

According to the complaint, the victim stated: "Please help me. I've been stabbed." She was in extreme pain and could only answer questions with yes or no.

Authorities searched for the two other girls, and a sheriff's officer found them walking near Interstate 94, Jack said.

He declined to say whether the suspects had blood on their clothes, but added: "There was evidence that was readily apparent when the two were taken into custody."

That evidence included a large kitchen knife inside a purse that Geyser identified as one of her mother's old purses, according to the complaint.

Both girls spoke readily with police, the complaint said.

Attempts to contact an attorney, believed to be representing them, were unsuccessful Monday.

According to the complaint, Weier told authorities about a website known as Creepypasta Wiki, which posts horror stories. She learned about a man named Slenderman on the site. Many believe he is not real and Weier wanted to prove skeptics wrong, the complaint read.

She allegedly introduced Geyser to the site and they believed they needed to kill in order to prove their dedication to "Slenderman."

Jesus Christ that's messed up! I keep hearing crazier and crazier things happening on the news. I don't even know how something like this can cross a twelve year old's mind. Glad she survived and I hope the 2 girls get punished accordingly for what they did, a bit longer and it would have been a homicide and they would have had a bit more trouble finding the killers, but they would eventually find them, how smart can a 12 year old be when it comes to murder? "Inspired by internet horror stories". No, they are just very sick girls. And banning knifes and Slender Man won't help.....

That's truly awful. Quite frankly it terrifies me knowing what people are capable of doing just because they saw something on the internet.

 

I hope that girl makes a full recovery.

Looks like it time to start controlling those knives.. Glad to see that the judge is being stern, and not playing into the fact that both suspects are young.

 

Well it would be pretty hard to control knives considering they're in almost every household... :S

 

Both girls are going to be facing a sentence of 65 years in prison (if convicted) -- they sure wasted their life.

Sure, let's arm our children with lethal firearms so when they get into a playground fight they can shoot each-other instead of throwing punches! While we're at it, let's ban the internet too!

Pretty sure Sergiyj was using a heavy dose of sarcasm.

But I thought violent video games like GTA and Call of Duty was the only thing that made people want to kill...the media is confusing me now. It's sad to see that people, hell even kids now, think that they need to prove themselves to the internet.

Pretty sure Sergiyj was using a heavy dose of sarcasm.

The quote I quoted was taken from the comments section of that article, where someone actually said that. Although that comment is probably sarcastic or a troll post, there's a slight possibility that the OP genuinely believes arming children is a good idea. Hell, over 700 people liked it.

The whole thing is certainly disgusting to think of being done and I hate the fact that such things exist in this world. It also seems stuff like this is simply happening everywhere and that quiet safe street isn't so safe anymore sadly.

 

  There will always be debate about how bad TV is for children but the Internet is a whole different ball game. It isn't regulated, there's no safe guards, it's utterly open (as it should be mind you). Controlling what your children see on the internet should always be considered. Like I said the Internet is a whole different animal. It is a canvas for anyone to paint upon whether it be art or something that's damaging to your life. It changes lives with what you can see on the internet for good and the bad (and even I've experienced that, I think we all have). When you have a entity that you can simply type in "Video of murder" and watch a person in their last moments of life being taken away from them with no regulation, that to me is something that should either be guarded if not kept away from children. However that is my view. There's still a lot of good that comes from the internet. There will always be that dark side though.

Well... That's truly disgusting. Very glad the other girl in stable. Amazing to think that someone as young as twelve year olds are capable of such a horrific thing, let alone thinking or conjuring up such plots! 

 

I guess the facebook page is true with how they act, "Fuck off mum i'm 12 now".
