To feel incredibly sad over treatment of the slenderman attempted murder girls

[Carollocking]

So I watched the documentary early this morning and just can't stop thinking about the 2 girls.
I understand what they did totally and they've never once denied what they did either.
I just feel so very sad that a so called compassionate society would treat as they are.
Of course it was wrong but they need help and love and care and proper treatment,not to be put on trial as adults 2 years after the offence with a chance of anything upto 65 years In prison.
I already have a low opinion on the USA in general and this lowers it more to feel it's terrible to treat them as they are.
I think about if it was my eldest girl and yes she knows right and wrong but no girl her age thinks about consequences thinks about things at all as an adult will.
I think the justice system they are been put through is very sick and twisted.also makes me wonder if they were of rich parents this may not be as it is now.
If they had been allowed to be tried as juveniles they would be out of prison at 18 but could still be monitored fully as needed. That would still be 6 years in prison. For a child 6 years is An entire life to them.

In the U.K. There was recently the case of the Spalding teenagers who killed a woman and her dd in a pre meditated attack. No mental health issues.

They weren't tried as adults. Even so they got twenty year sentences and to be honest in their case I think twenty year sentences were justified. If they'd been tried as adults they would have got longer.

There's some interesting stuff here from a psychiatrist about how two people can influence each other to accept different values from normal.

I've never seen about them I'll look it up as it's interesting for sure

Possum, that case was awful especially because the fact that the girl's identity was 'protected' has meant that certain aspects of the case have gone unreported which would have meant the girl would have received widespread public sympathy and the reasons why the crime was committed would be a lot more understandable.

It's been widely reported that the girl involved spent quite some time in care as a child because she was physically abused by her mother including being punched fully in the face at the age of six.

Have a quick Google and you will soon discover just how relevant it is. The case is not at all as it has been presented in the press.

Yes, I'm fairly local so aware of the details of the ID of the pair.

There's no real report as to why the supposedly choose them as victims though with you been more local maybe it's been reported there

James Bulger's killers were 10 year old boys, both from unstable homes, and were saod to have grown up being influenced by violence seen in films and games.

I'd still happily have watched them burn for what they did.
