Slenderman faz a primeira vítima

[Sumudica by Night]

Two 12-year-old girls from Waukesha, Wisconsin, have been charged with first-degree attempted homicide after allegedly stabbing their friend this past weekend as an offering to a fictional internet character called Slender Man.

 

Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier face up to 65 years in prison.

 

The Journal Sentinel reports "the victim, whose name has not been released, was stabbed Saturday 19 times, including in the heart, one of the wounds barely missing a major artery."

 

It's a confusing story, so we'll try to piece it together here.

 

What (or who) is Slender Man?

Slender Man is an internet urban legend created by Something Awful forums user Eric Knudsen in 2009.

 

The fictional man is depicted as tall and thin with a featureless face, dressed in a black suit and hides in the woods. According to the Wikipedia page, "Slender Man is commonly said to stalk, abduct, or traumatize people, particularly children."

 

Since 2009, Slender Man has gone viral, appearing in various stories on sites like CreepyPasta, games, and apps. Aleks Krotoski, a commentator for BBC Radio 4, called the Slender Man "the first great myth of the web."

 

He is depicted in lots of different ways, as you can see from the search below:

 

"She seemed normal," [a friend] said, referring to Weier.

The Daily Dot reports that after the girls spent tons of time obsessing over Slender Man (Weier even had a picture of Slender Man as the background on her iPad) they allegedly believed Slender Man was "watching" their families and asked them to kill someone, believing if they could carry out a murder, Slender Man would spare their families and take them to his mansion.

 

The murder would make the girls what some corners of the web call proxies — those who are under the influence and control of Slender Man.

 

According to peers, Geyser and Weier were good friends with their victim, and planned the murder attempt for many months.

 

The Journal Sentinel says the victim was "one millimeter away from certain death."

 

Charged as adults

Pre-teens Geyser and Weier are currently being tried in Waukesha County Circuit Court as adults. The girls’ attorney hopes to "reverse waive" them into juvenile court, with a maximum sentence of 13 years.

 

Nancy Kaser-Boyd, a forensic psychologist at Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, told the Journal Sentinel that the girls' actions were rare, but that "typical 12-year-old children know that killing a person is a permanent action."

 

"Plotting such an action over many weeks, and whispering about it on the bus, as one of the girls told police they did, demonstrates a malevolence," she was quoted saying.

 

"There is a sadistic quality to that."

Têm 12 anos e podem levar com uma pena de 65 anos? Essas crianças precisam de acompanhamento psicológico intensivo e não de ser enfiadas numa prisão.

Da mesma forma que os Bibis da vida não precisam de cadeia mas sim de tratamento. Saem cá para fora com os mesmos estímulos sexuais mas com as ânsias e pujanças de um cavalo.

Tens toda a razão mas tens que ter consciência que o povo ainda pensa na justiça através duma lógica ético-retributiva. O Direito Penal nunca poderá funcionar desse modo, não só porque a ética é algo variável mas porque pessoas deste género são doentes. A solução passará sempre pela reintegração, a prisão deverá funcionar como um método de reabilitação.

Obviamente que vão ter acompanhamento psicológico intensivo de qualquer das maneiras.

Dentro de uma prisão? Ok, mas hás-de compreender que esse ambiente frustra completamente os objectivos da qlq acompanhamento psicológico.
