From internet hoax to urban legend to real life danger, ABC News has your coverage of the Slender Man saga. The chilling tale began with two 12-year-old girls who stabbed a classmate 19 times in the woods of Waukesha, Wisconsin while at a sleepover. The girls claim they were trying to please the online demonic creature, Slender Man. See the slender man interrogation, and interviews surrounding the slender man stabbing case. Originating as an internet meme Slender Man is a fictional character known for his tall and thin stature, featureless face that appears from myth to abduct and traumatize those that summon him through the Slender Man game. Stay tuned for all the updates on the slender man stabbing, and how slenderman turned from an urban myth to an internet meme and now cult phenomena.

George Conway: ‘Lying, intimidating, bullying. That’s Trump at his worst, and that’s Trump always’

Still cannot believe how sinister this is and also how the internet is poisoning these kids for what they see online, and giving the fact that strongly believe that Morgan is psychologically sick.
I think Anissa is a major part of the act, and used Morgan's condition to feed her imaginations. Pheyton is so brave and she does deserve to live.

I’m so glad that Payton survived and that she’s doing much better.
I also want to say God Bless to the cyclist who found Payton and called 911, to the doctors and nurses who saved her life, and to the police who caught Morgan and Anissa. God Bless them all.

To think that lunatic is free now is insane. 1 of them got out too and is walking free. She only gets a year in a state mental hospital for almost taking someone's life.

if they're willing to do something like this for a fictional character, how stupid can people really be

I always come back to this every once in a while and I feel so proud of her for saving herself and for making it through but I can’t help but also feel sorry for the creator of slender man,he created him just as a short story for those who like horror and these girls turned his character into something gruesome,I can’t imagine how he must’ve felt when this first happened.

That’s just sick what those two girls did to Peyton. It made me smile seeing Peyton with those kittens. I’m just glad Peyton is safe. She is very strong.

Damn psychopathic idiots. Neither of them should go free for a looong time. At 12 you should be able to know right from wrong, and what is real and what's not.
All credit to Payton for being an absolute champion. 19 stab wounds, one of them in the heart, yet she still crawled out into the open and went on to make a full (physical) recovery. Amazing.
Honestly, if Slenderman somehow truly exists and was involved in this, I think we all know whose side he was on.

Lol! To show that stab wound on her heart he has to be in an operation theatre and in operation clothes

Our youngest son is now 12 and last year when he was 11 he had one bully (with a “club of 2 girls and 1 more boy). They taunted my son. The main bully sent death threat. He said he would gut him. Kill me. Kill his beloved Labrador. He managed to get our gate code, house codes and spare key information from another boy who didn’t know not to share the info. The school did nothing. They protected that bully and being older parents having a now 25 year old and 22 year old sons we were too laid back. I will never forget going into a meeting in December with his 6th grade team and how we were treated. Luckily our son was moved to another 6th grade team and he had amazing teachers and new friends. But we’ve been on a long path to recovery. He’s been in therapy for ten months. He’s self harmed three times. It’s been a nightmare. I’ve just held him while he sobs. The bully continued to bully other kids and even pleasured himself in class in view of everyone. I don’t know what his paperwork says but it’s basically a get out of jail free card. There is zero accountability at school and his mother thinks everyone is trying to get her son in trouble. I have nightmares about what this kid could do one day. But our goal now is to keep our son from becoming a statistic.

I'm so happy to see her smile. For a 12-year-old, being stabbed 19 times, by her only best friends, out of nowhere. God, it wasn't just the physical pain but also the emotional pain, the betrayal that she had to go through. Best wishes to her and her family.

I'm just glad she's doing fine. It's terrifying how a fictional character like slender could cause such things in real life.

Waukesha may have a low crime rate BUT when there is some kind of crime it seems to have some of the major ones. The Xmas parade alone is enough to cement the place forever as synonymous with the word tragedy
@julianstreet8675

Whats terrifying about this is it was all planned between the two girls.
