Slenderman
In our case today we have a fictional character who is named “slenderman”, and the people who are following him. Our case involves 3 little girls, a tall tale and a stabbing. I will talk about, slenderman, the internet, and our case.
The story of slenderman started off on a forum on the internet called a creepypasta. These are fictional stories made up by random people. And they are meant to freak people out, scare them, or disgust them. These were just made to entertain people. But some took it too far, making fake videos and pictures to further scare everyone else, this started an uproar, especially for kids who have access to these stories.
Our story goes from 3 innocent girls, to an attempted murder. It started off as 3 friends who liked to run around together, but not much in the woods. Morgan Geyser, was a kid who always lacked empathy, she never felt as a little girl should. One time her and her mom were watching Bambi. And her mom was scared to let her watch it, cause the mom dies, and she thought this might upset her. But to her mom’s surprise, she didn’t even react to the mother's death, as a normal little girl would.
While the second girl, Anissa Weier has always had a disturbing vibe to her. As on Feb 20. 2017 she posted a comment on a video saying “Why did the baby cross the road? BECAUSE IT WAS STRAPPED TO MY BUMPER!”. And that same year, she commented on another video saying, “ I love how Zeus (the cat) beats the mouse to death.” This can be seen as psychotic behaviors for a little girl.
Regardless of how bad the crime is the children can not be treated as adults. They are underage, and it would be illegal to charge them as adults. So for this very reason, I would want to charge them as juveniles. Regardless of where they go, they need serious help. The kids are showing signs of being sociopaths.
I would disregard the fact that the police went through the little girl's phone, She is too young
