@crime.chron: It’s 2014, in the quiet town of Waukesha, Wisconsin. Three 12-year-old girls are having what seems like a normal sleepover. But this night would turn into a nightmare that would shock the country. Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier, two seemingly ordinary girls, had become obsessed with an internet character called Slender Man. They didn’t just think he was interesting, they believed he was real. And to prove their loyalty to him, they decided they had to sacrifice their friend, Payton Leutner. On May 31, 2014, Morgan and Anissa lured Payton into the woods, pretending they were going to play a game. But once they were deep in the forest, they attacked her, stabbing her 19 times and leaving her for dead. Incredibly, Payton didn’t give up. Despite her serious injuries, she managed to crawl to a nearby road, where a cyclist found her and called for help. It was like something out of a horror movie, but it was terrifyingly real. Morgan and Anissa were quickly caught and confessed. They claimed they did it to become Slender Man’s servants and live in his mansion. The trial that followed shocked many people—how could two young girls commit such a violent crime? The court had to consider tough questions about mental illness and how to handle children who commit serious offenses. In the end, both girls were found not guilty by reason of mental illness. Morgan was diagnosed with schizophrenia, and Anissa was diagnosed with a delusional disorder. They were both sent to mental health facilities for treatment. As for Payton, she survived and eventually shared her story with the world—a true example of strength and resilience. This case made people think hard about the power of internet myths, the mental health of young people, and how society deals with children who commit violent acts.
