Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weier's violence was extreme, but what seemed even more frightening was that they committed their crime under the influence of a figure born by the internet: the so-called "Slenderman." Yet the even more urgent aspect of the story, that the children involved suffered from undiagnosed mental illnesses, often went overlooked in coverage of the case.Slenderman: Online Obsession, Mental Illness, and the Violent Crime of Two Midwestern Girls tells that full story for the first time in deeply researched detail, using court transcripts, police reports, individual reporting, and exclusive interviews. Morgan and Anissa were bound together by their shared love of geeky television shows and animals, and their discovery of the user-uploaded scary stories on the Creepypasta website could have been nothing more than a brief phase. But Morgan was suffering from early-onset childhood schizophrenia. She believed that she had seen Slenderman long before discovering him online, and the only way to stop him from killing her family was to bring him a sacrifice: Morgan's best friend Payton "Bella" Leutner, whom Morgan and Anissa planned to stab to death on the night of Morgan's twelfth birthday party. Bella survived the attack, but was deeply traumatized, while Morgan and Anissa were immediately sent to jail, and the severity of their crime meant that they would be prosecuted as adults. There, as Morgan continued to suffer from worsening mental illness after being denied antipsychotics, her life became more and more surreal.Slenderman is both a page-turning true crime story and a search for justice. 001562813 60000 $$aSlender Man$$c(Legendary character) 001562813 60007 $$aSlender Man$$c(Legendary character)$$2fast 001562813 650_0 $$aAttempted murder$$zWisconsin$$zWaukesha. 001562813 650_0 $$aJuvenile homicide$$zWisconsin$$zWaukesha. 001562813 650_0 $$aInternet$$xSocial aspects. 001562813 650_6 $$aTentative de meurtre$$zWisconsin$$zWaukesha. 001562813 650_6 $$aHomicide par des jeunes$$zWisconsin$$zWaukesha. 001562813 650_6 $$aInternet$$xAspect social. 001562813 650_7 $$aAttempted murder$$2fast 001562813 650_7 $$aInternet$$xSocial aspects$$2fast 001562813 650_7 $$aJuvenile homicide$$2fast 001562813 651_7 $$aWisconsin$$zWaukesha$$2fast$$1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJqKdtyMP3Gcrp89dJyrv3 001562813 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001562813 655_7 $$aTrue crime stories$$2fast 001562813 655_7 $$aTrue crime stories.$$2lcgft 001562813 655_7 $$aRécits criminels.$$2rvmgf 001562813 758__ $$ihas work:$$aSLENDERMAN (Text)$$1https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PD3jWbxjfR9pxx3FMGq7v9C$$4https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/ontology/hasWork 001562813 852__ $$bebk 001562813 8564_ $$3Excerpt$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/6852-1/{55B8D2EB-38C5-4F2E-91E1-537050CE58E5}IMG100.JPG 001562813 85640 $$3eBooks on EBSCOhost$$uhttps://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&db=nlabk&AN=3339242$$zOnline Access$$91397706.3 001562813 85642 $$3Cover image$$uhttps://d2snwnmzyr8jue.cloudfront.net/csp_9780802159816_180.jpeg 001562813 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1562813$$pGLOBAL_SET 001562813 980__ $$aBIB 001562813 980__ $$aEBOOK 001562813 982__ $$aEbook 001562813 983__ $$aOnline 001562813 994__ $$aC0$$bISE
