WAUKESHA, Wis. - Neighbors of two Wisconsin girls accused of stabbing a friend 19 times allegedly to please a fictional character they read about online say they're struggling to reconcile the allegations with what they know about the 12-year-olds and their upbringings. Prosecutors have charged the two girls in adult court with attempted homicide for allegedly stabbing a girl the same age in the woods in Waukesha, a Milwaukee suburb. The girls told detectives they conspired for months to kill the other girl in hopes of pleasing Slenderman, a fictional character they read about on a horror website dubbed "creepypasta," which features short stories designed to "unnerve and shock the reader." http://www.cbsnews.com/news/wisconsin-stabbing-at-odds-with-girls-upbringing-neighbors-say/

Committing a heinous crime to please a fictitious character is only the second most bat-shit crazy statement in the original post. Trying twelve year olds as adults is an order of magnitude crazier.
