From the article: "The girls, both from Waukesha, a Milwaukee suburb, told investigators they had been planning to kill their 12-year-old friend for months to please Slenderman, a fictional demon-like creature they learned about through a horror website, according to a criminal complaint."
That girl should be set free immediately. She was trying to please her fictional character.

Brained washed by what they repeatedly saw on their computer...Who in his right mind would design content that asks kids to kill someone?

"Who in his right mind would design content that asks kids to kill someone?"
Slender Man is a horror figure depicted in various works of fiction including
games. The point is to avoid him--not kill children. Imagine being 12 and giving
something like that, or out of a Hitchcock movie, as an excuse for attempted
murder. Unsurprisingly: "The attackers were charged as adults and are each facing
up to 65 years in prison."

The closest to the excuse of the girls I could find is in the background of an
antagonist of the 2nd game of the series, not something given as something the
protaganist can do to become an assistant of the Slender Man:
"Kate - friend of Lauren, she becomes the secondary antagonist for most of the
game, but is also playable in "Chapter 4". Her mother has recently died and she
has decided to sell the house, prompting Lauren's visit, but disappears. Prior to
the events of the game, she had visions of the 'Slender Man' who she shared with
her friend CR. The night before the events of the game, she was attacked in her
home but managed to escape, as revealed in "Chapter 4". She was subsequently
turned to serve as his "proxy", or an assistant of sorts."
"The Slender Man - the main and faceless antagonist of the game. Facing him
causes the camera to glitch and distort, intensifying as the player gets closer.
In the game, it is also shown that he can turn his victims into "proxies", or
assistants of sorts."

I don't think you can play as an assistant, though. This YouTube video shows
someone goofing around with a proxie:

This is very disturbing , and frankly I`m at a loss to explain/comprehend it .
Is it technologys use of the media in all its forms to dehumanise humanity to a point where its only worth is to appease a mythological God/demon ?
To the point where our youth / adolesents fail to distinguish between what is real and what is not. ?
Has our form of entertainment become so sophisticated that our young people have a hard time seperating fact from fiction , reality from fantasy , that leads to these sort of crimes.?

Man, have to read the whole thing until I found the Jephathah part. It's isn't that complicated.
? Edit > Find should take you right there--the only section on Jephthah.

One indication of the accused knowing right from wrong is if they do things to
try to get away with something they know they'd get in trouble for if their
parents or a police person was beside them. In defense of the parents' ability to
instill an understanding of right and wrong, the kids took their victim off into
the woods to try to murder her. They knew murder was bad but tried to do it in
spite of what their parents (and society generally) taught. I suspect they had
some strong dislike of their victim and Slender Man is a dumb smokescreen.

I tend to agree
