“A 12-year-old Waukesha girl who survived being stabbed 19 times was found Saturday by a bicyclist, police said. Shortly afterward, two 12-year-old classmates were arrested and told police they were inspired by a creepy, fictional character known as Slenderman on the website Creepypasta Wiki, authorities said.

According to the website, “a creepypasta is a short story posted on the Internet that is designed to unnerve and shock the reader,” and Creepypasta Wiki is a user-edited database of those stories, similar to Wikipedia.”

Cenk Uygur (http://www.twitter.com/cenkuygur) and Ana Kasparian (http://www.twitter.com/anakasparian) of The Young Turks break down this incredibly sad story. The girls clearly have mental health issues, do you blame the website at all? Should the girls be charged as adults? Tell us what you think in the comment section below.
