I'm sorry, but I don't buy into the whole Omen movie theory on this one. Evil isn't born, it's taught. If it's not taught by the parents (and it could have been, which would make it more abuse than neglect), then it was taught somewhere, and those girls learned the lesson. The parents could have prevented this.

we agree on evil not being born.

but it isn't always taught (corruption). Let alone by a slender man movie etc.

Kids are born perfect without evil but somewhere along the line, regardless of even how good you may raise them, some kids/grown-ups just choose to be evil with the free will they've been given. They use things like "my religion allows me to kill this person" as an excuse. But they know better.

12 is just way too old for me to think anything other than they just chose to be evil. They aren't ignorant little people without capability of fully understanding right from wrong at that age. Especially the evil of murder.

they didn't have to be taught it, any more than cain did, or the devil.

they chose to be, and used a slender man fictional character as an amusing (to them) way to fulfill their evil desires.

only way i'd disagree on what i just said is if they had an IQ of 40 or something. Different scenario here i'm sure or the press would have mentioned that kind of detail.

only silver lining here (2) is that the girl lived, and that the other 2 girls at least decided not to finish the other girl off, they left her there instead with her wounds.

even people that set out to murder someone, it seems, can repent, even right in the middle of the act.

(i'd like to hope the girls repented at least)

I say: bring both perpetrators out to the same area of woods that the crime was committed in, stab both of them 1-19 causing comparable wounds to the victim, and leave them there to struggle to die/survive. Treat them the same way that they treated the victim. Personally, I don't care what their motives were. Fuck them.

I think they should be studied, not locked away, we should find out what truly caused these actions to take place, what was the cue for such an act.

I think its simply desensitization to the mere act of seeing harm being done in movies and video games and the curiosity of what its like if done IRL.

COD playing kids pretend they know military lingo and how guns work and stuff as if the COD games were real.

Genetic factors may generally influence the development of psychopathy while environmental factors affect the specific traits that predominate.

Since the 1980s, scientists have associated traumatic brain injury, such as damage to the prefrontal cortex, including the orbitofrontal cortex, with psychopathic behavior and an inability to make morally and socially acceptable decisions. Children with early damage in the prefrontal cortex may never fully develop social or moral reasoning and become "psychopathic individuals ... characterized by high levels of aggression and antisocial behavior performed without guilt or empathy for their victims."
