In old times there were murders as well

I was saying that those two girls would not kill their friend if they didn't have internet. In this case, they found a website (VIA INTERNET) which brainwashed them to kill her. In other words, it would not happen if they didn't have internet. Thank God, she's alive!

Oh noes!!! Internet ban?

Did I say that?

You don't get it that a person can do a stupid or bad thing after that person read or watched something via internet. For example, more teens committed suicide when they found out that internet spread words that they were gay or when they were cyber-bullied. It didn't happen often before internet. However, that's the way it is now. Almost everybody is addicted to internet everyday. Ah, know what, one can learn how to make a bomb VIA INTERNET. I believe that's how Boston bombers learned to make bombs. What I am saying is that internet is very powerful.

Right, the Internet is a very powerful tool. I, however, think that parents should have had a role in the lives of their children (i.e., teaching them about the dangers of the Internet). I'm not sure about those two girls but I don't know the full situation, which doesn't give me the right to speculate.

OK, you know what? Many parents get their kids a new smartphone. How can they control them when the kids use their smartphone outside of home? Smartphones, tablets or whatever use INTERNET.

I often told my son to stop playing violent games online when he was a kid but he never listened. Now he's grown up and still play those stupid games but he's OK because he has common sense. Unfortunately some kids don't (like those two girls). Haven't you read the news which reported that internet is dangerous?

I know that the Internet IS dangerous and it is precisely why it is important that parents educate their children on the responsible use of the Internet. Parental controls can be put on laptops, smartphones, tablets and some gaming consoles.

My father put parental controls on my laptop and my smartphone when I was growing up (i.e., time limits, banned/blocked websites, Internet browsing logs, monitoring IMs, et cetera) and required me to put my laptop and smartphone in his bedroom every night at 9:30pm. My father even put parental controls on the television (i.e., blocking specific channels). How about that?

You're right with the assertion that some children just do not have common sense, yes, but it doesn't mean that parents shouldn't try to be active role models and install safeguards as ways to protect their children.

I don't get what the picture is suppose to even show. yeah I see a bunch of kids and playing. Am I suppose to see something more?

I never heard of slenderman til recently. I still don't get it. *shrugs*

It's got nothing to do with the internet, really. Just look at the Parker-Hulme murder in 1954. Hulme, btw, was "successfully rehabilitated*", changed her name and became a famous author who writes historical murder mysteries and detective novels.

Anne Perry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Note this happened in 1954, way before the internet was in the hands of everyone, but not before the idea was conceived. So hey, maybe it WAS the internet after all.


*To use the terms of those who are jailed. She really did make something of her life, and she likely would not have had the opportunity had she been jailed forever.

I do not dare to judge any of kids' parents at all. I wonder as to why the 12 yrs old kids who are interested in hurting others.

I heard on the news one of the girl is mentally ill , I really have not seen a lot more about this on news recently.

They are being charged as adults. I could have sworn I saw their photos prior to being charged, however.

I'm interested in what she experienced during her time in the Caribbean and South Africa up to the age of 13, she was there without any parental guidance.

She was probably in boarding schools with other kids who had it, or just sent to regular girls' schools. Tuberculosis wasn't treated like it is in the US now, it was so damned common (and still is in parts of the country) that everyone was exposed to it so I wouldn't be surprised if they let her be with other kids who didn't have it. She also could have been tutored if she was in a sanitarium for tuberculosis, or was set up with a tutor or governess in a house with adults there to care for her. It sounds bad these days to do that but back then it was the norm if you had money.

What bothers me about it is that Anne Perry never even thought about her victim:

Peter Graham: The Murder of the Century

Did she ever think of her victim? "No," Perry said. "She was somebody I barely knew.

Wow, it is sooo similar what the two pre-teenage girls went through like them in the article. What if that is a fiction compare to the article which is back in 1974? This is so weird and shocking just have the media pick that up to make it look real in the 21st Century. I don't know what to believe in all this. Newspapers including magazines are famous for making up stories for the sake of making money to get readers to believe the stories.

My eyes are crossing. Did girls stab slender man with their cellphone?

One of the girls was found mentally incompetent and won't go to trial.

It's the Daily Fail but I'm sure there's other reports out there. Slender Man stabbing suspect Morgan Geyser, 12, found incompetent to stand trial | Mail Online

They are also getting an exam to see if she could plead insanity. A plea for insanity doesn't mean what the public generally considers to be inanity. What it means is if someone is deemed insane at the time they performed the crime, then they were not able to rationalize or control their behavior or consider the consequences. If they were unable to tell the difference between right and wrong, they can't be liable for the crime. It does not mean they are insane right now and it's not used to prove innocence. Instead it's used to reduce the level of conviction and sentencing. So, say, if normally they would spend 15 years in prison, she might instead be sent to a psychiatric hospital or mental health facility and the case could be sent to juvie court instead of adult court. All cases in Wisconsin of murder or attempted murder by kids over 10 are automatically sent to adult court, which is why this case was sent there, and the attorneys have to fight to get it sent back to juvie.
