"this is going to get me arrested, isn't it?" Nah sis, you stabbed your friend multiple times and she almost died, but you are free to go

“well she was taken to the hospital” Morgan: “what?” Like dang, she seemed surprised she wasn’t dead 💀

If my child attempted to end someone’s life, I would not advocate for them being released. Period.

Those poor parents did such a great job raising a young girl that couldn't stand seeing someone alone and befriending her when nobody else would. How does such a young person learn to trust people again? I hope she gets all of the help she deserves.

“Relaxed” no girl dances around in a police station after repeatedly stabbing someone unless there’s something wrong in their head.

Man, It feels like this happened yesterday, not five years ago.

The fact that Anissa’s mother acted like having her there during the interrogation would make a difference is just disgusting. Edit: Holy crap, 1.8k likes? When did that happen?

The cyclist came in clutch, I’m glad to see that the girl who was stabbed 19 times is now fully recovered and doing well

The mom was like “it’s so horrible that I can’t be in the room with my daughters during and interrogation” but her daughter stabbed someone 19 fricking timeeessss

Girls: “Slenderman made us do it” Slenderman: “bruh I don’t even exist”

To think she was the width of a hair away from death is terrifying. She was so close to dying, it’s really a miracle she is alive today.

I noticed how mature Anissa speaks. While Morgan _seems_ more apathic, I'm getting psychopathic vibes from Anissa. Her speech for a 12 year old is very well developed. She's clearly very smart, which makes me think she's very good at manipulating everyone around her.

“It’s easier to live without regrets” YOU LITERALLY TRIED TO KILL SOMEONE WTF

she danced alone in the investigation room after stabbing her friend 19 times im getting joker vibes

Anissa was severely delusional and unquestionably took advantage of Morgan's delusions -- but Morgan is much more culpable and predatory than people are saying. Morgan was not completely unaware of the consequences of her actions; she knew very well she was going to murder Peyton and what that meant, and she didn't care. During the course of interrogation, she occasionally breaks her detached demeanor and says multiple, startlingly lucid, insightful, intelligent, psychopathic statements that indicate she lacks empathy, understands how to commit nuanced manipulation and deception, has the wherewithal to not implicate her family and even discards Anissa. Morgan may very well have killed someone on her own eventually, and I believe that Anissa's obsession with Slenderman and Creepypasta merely served as an excuse for Morgan to pursue violent and homicidal urges on a faster timeline.

Payton you're definitely one of the strongest people I've ever seen in my life. I remember when we were kids and I heard about you on the news... I was so scared for you... I remember crying so hard worrying about what would happen to you. Going out with friends and being betrayed like this... It could have happened to any one of us... You're so so strong. I'm so beyond happy to know you're okay and youre healing... Im crying all over again thinking about what happened to you. Youre amazing and I hope you are happy and safe and that you get to live a long full life full of joy because you deserve all the happiness.

"this is gonna get me arrested, isn't it?" nah girl he's just doing a quick vibe check

imagine trying to kill your friend because of a wiki page

Morgan had been having audio/visual hallucinations since age 3, tragic that she ended up stabbing someone and in an interrogation room before anyone thought to treat her.

Imagine how her parents must’ve felt after hearing what had happened

“this is going to get me arrested, isn’t it?” No dear, it’s the slender-man we’re after, you’re free to go

That cyclist doesn’t get any credit he saved her life

Wow. The level of parental neglect and dillusion from the parents is astonishing, disgusting, and disturbing all at once. 19 stab wounds is somehow worthy of a defense for her daughter who did it. Makes me sick

Yes they both suffered mentally and Morgan deserved more support with her Schizophrenia. Doesn't justify this whole case(or any of it) though. Feel sorry for Payton. Glad she's still alive. Honestly I can't imagine how traumatizing it is for the poor woman.

The bicyclist was at the right place at the right time.

I physically cringed when she justified a murder with the Creepypasta Wiki

Poor girl my heart breaks for her 🥺 what she went through omg she is one strong little girl to keep fighting to stay alive.. I'm so glad she did bless her heart ❤️

Payton is the inbodiement of “I’m still standing. “ she is a great and amazing fighter.

Slender man must've been like *"This is why I don't kidnap kids anymore,they're way crazier than me"*

Imagine trying to kill your friend after reading an edgy fanfic

Morgan: "I thought about it, but then I decided that remorse would get me no where. It's easier to live without regrets." She actually has no shame.

The fact that Anissa said creepypasta is meant to purposely scare you means she knew it wasn't real.

slenderman: leave me out of this i dont know these two clowns

the kids who stabbed her are more scary than slender man

im so glad she’s alive and well today and was able to make it through. im so glad morgan and the other girl are locked away and she can walk around knowing they are gone. i hope she continues to heal from this traumatic experience

Poor girl. She’s strong af. She can get through anything after this

okay but imagine peyton’s trust issues now like wow.

Imagine if the guy riding the bicycle wasn’t riding his bicycle that day

If I had a kid and I learned that they did this... I would genuinely struggle to find a will to live. Upbringing has a huge impact on the way children develop but, even then, sometimes a child with the best upbringing will grow up to be a monster. This is so sad and scary. I'm so glad that little girl survived. The trauma they have wired into her system though... That's another story.

I feel Payton and her family, and I also feel for the person/people who created Slenderman. I can only imagine the amount of guilt they feel knowing their creation went from being a simple horror story to the basis of an attempted murder of a young teen. It’s the same with the guy who created Momo, it was an art project that sick individuals like Anissa and Morgan used to make people take their own lives. Again, my heart goes out to Payton. What a brave, strong individual.

Imagine how scary it must have been to see a bloody girl crawling out of a forest.

No need for fictional horror stories, the real world is scary enough.

The mother complaining that her daughter was interrogated without a parent is horrifying. Not at all concerned about the horrific crime her daughter committed... Just concerned she told the truth in the interrogation room.

Thank God that poor child survived . Such a good person to feel empathy for a loner, and then to nearly be murdered by her.

Morgan is a psychopath. She was literally dancing in a damn police room. Also, she was blaming it on a damn fictional character, named Slender Man. What the actual frick?!

"this is gonna get me arrested isn't it?" Noooooo darling they're gonna take you for ice cream right after .

Such a beautiful young Woman, I am so happy she made it through this horrific ordeal.

My god. Those girls are sick. Lock them up and throw away the key!

Man the Guy who created slender man probably didn’t think this would go this far.

I don’t even think slenderman would want to take it this far.

My daughter was like Payton, befriending the underdogs, because she felt sorry for them. They all turned on her, one after the other. It wasn’t a collective group, just individuals at different times. No wonder she’s such a loner now. Thank God it didn’t turn out for my daughter like it did for Payton. God bless you, Payton! Rachel, Alejandro and Alex … you know who you are!

As a person who lives in Wisconsin, this hits home, Thank God Peyton is ok ❤️🙏

anissa really does look like the type of girl you'd see in middle school reading abt creepy pastas tho

"Do you feel bad for stabbing one of your best friends?" "It's easier to live without regrets" She was only 12 wtf

I remember seeing this story on a true crime YT channel. It focussed on mostly Anissa en Morgan, but I felt so sorry for their ‘friend’ that was stabbed. It amazed me that she survived. Glad to see she recovered well. Crazy story, grusome and this is the defenition of the ‘weird kid’

Strong girl. Amazing testimony. Good job Payton and God Bless

Girl slender man isn’t even real these girls have officially lost their minds

The problem is they're TWELVE YEARS OLD. At twelve I was busy getting obese

Mad respect to Payton for dragging herself out of the forest.

That survivor (absolute legend) deserves some kind of medal for bravery she did more than anyone else could’ve in that situation. When I first heard about this years ago I had no idea she even survived but she didn’t just survive she walked to safety that’s insane and so great.

THE CYCLIST SAVED HER LIFE LIKE BRO, NO ONE IS TALKING AB THE CYCLIST

Morgan is the type of person to mistake “baptism“ as “drowning“

When I heard one of the girls say “Payton was screaming in agony” broke my heart. Made me tear up a bit

One of my friends were like those two girls, I was 9 and she was 12, I’m 4’11 and she’s about 5’5, she was a lot bigger than me, she had a messed up mind and to this day I still believe she could have done something like this since she talked a lot about slender man and other creepy pastas, glad I got away and are no longer friends with her, so glad this girl survived. She’s truly amazing 💗

“This is going to get me arrested isn’t it?” Nah they’re going to take you to a vacation to the Bahamas.

"Did you feel bad that you stabbed one of your best friends?" -"I thought about it, then realized remorse would get me nowhere." yikesss

Crazy to think that Anissa is out already, makes me mad because it goes to show how stupid and corrupt the justice system in the US is

Anissas mother looked like she took no accountability, so i just know thats why she turned out like that. Both girl's shoudlve been put in a asylum not prison and they shouldve been in aslym for the rest of there lives they dont deserve to go to normal prison and be treated somewhat like humans. Despicable

So I struggle getting out of bed and here’s this girl walking out of a forest with 19 stab wounds and she’s like hang on I just gotta walk it off like bruh I’m so proud of you.

Imagine how pissed the creator of slenderman is about this.

Beautiful, smart young lady. I wish for you peace and serenity. So sorry this happened. So, so sorry. You did not deserve this. I am so happy that guy riding his bike went a different route. Best to you!

We’ve gotta raise our kids better this story is insane ❤ I am so happy to see her rescued

That’s scary she literally said “it’s better to live with no regrets” with such a calm voice this girl is a maniac

"Do you feel like you're a survivor?" Tf kinda question is that

Years ago a video was posted about the survivor and it included what makes her happy and smile again, which was kitties. She played with kittens at the local shelter, she had kitty hats and kitty headbands, she had notebooks, journals, folders covered in kitties. I just want to send her pictures of kitties every day. She's a grown adult now but I still want her to get kindness and happiness forever.

This is a phyco act it’s insane that they believed in slender man this is such a incredible act these two girls have the mind of a 5 year old girl or boy

did that mom really complain about her child being questioned alone after she STABBED her friend

*The two girls took “The Emo Phase” way too far-*

this woman is a fucking legend! having the guts to share her story! awesome!!!!!!!

Those girls should NEVER have been let out. Evil kids. I have absolutely no sympathy for them. Peyton is a wonderful, strong young woman, God bless her.

Morgan was literally DANCING in the interrogation room. She's psychotic.

This is the whole reason why my mom won’t let me have sleepovers.

I'm SO proud of Payton for surviving this.. She's such a beautiful and gorgeous girl.. God bless her!!

That’s crazy man I just watched the interrogation on a channel yesterday called EXPLORE WITH US and it was such an interesting case, it brough so many questions to my mind as to how and why 12 year olds can do this.

Girls: “Slender men made us do it” Slender man: “baby I’m not even here, ima hallucination”.

Morgan: “This is going to get me arrested, isn’t it?” Is that even a question to ask...

I just recently realized this case was in waukesha WI. When she said “nothing ever happens in Waukesha” it sent chills especially after the DB murder conviction. 💔

I can't imagine the trauma Payton would have gone through🥺😢

So let me get this straight, Payton made friends with a girl because she was lonely and this girl repays her by trying to murder her?

slenderman: “ight, imma head out”

I'm very pleased that Payton was able to make it through, and hopefully deserves to have all the justice she needs.

Bro everyone here better give this Woman the respect she deserves cause anyone else would’ve laid there and gave up nah she was a true warrior fighting!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Edit: I had some spelling errors!

“This is gonna get me arrested, isn’t it?” Noooo, honey, they’re gonna take you to get candy after

Morgan is insane, she was TALKING AND DANCING AFTER stabbing her friends 19 times!

When this all happened, I was 9 years old, I was watching the news with my mom while she was folding laundry. I was so disturbed by it. My mom asked me if I knew who the Slender Man was because she knew I spent a lot of time on the internet, at the time I didn't. The news did have curious so I decided to look up Slender man on the internet but the pictures scared me and it wasn't until I was 11 that I went back to it and I got into the creepypasta Fandom. To the point that I it was extremely unhealthy... I started believing that creepypasta was real and was going to one day find them. I became so obsessed with creepypasta that I started doing things that creeped out people around me. Like during on vacation I stood outside staring at the forest hoping to find Slender man, I scratched my cheeks into a smile similar to Jeff The Killer, I dres proxy symbols all over my mom's car, and I even laughed maniacally whenever there was blood or gore. When I was 12, it got worse as creepypasta started to give me ideas of killing people around me who have bullied and abused me. I was going through a lot during that time as there tension in the house, my parents were paying extra attention to my sister(who was a baby at the time), me and my best friend were constantly being bullied, and my grades were down the drain... I'd turn to creepypasta for comfort, and the stories started to give the idea of killing EVERYONE around... My classmates, my teachers, strangers, and even my own family. If they were all gone, I could escape my problems and live the life as a killer since I had no point in living. It got to the point that I made a full PLAN and ESCAPE PLAN on how I was going to do it... But I never acted on this plan, though, because I KNEW this was wrong... When I reached 13 my parents helped me snap out of it and brought me back to reality and to this day I feel ashamed of my old self and I never let them know about the whole plan and escape plan I had. I revisit this case online and find myself deeply disturbed that if I had been stuck in that mindset, I would've gone down the path those two girls did and probably would've rot in jail...

Prayers Payton, you are beautiful sweetie. I'm so glad you are alive.

If anyone wants to know anissa got 26 years in a mental facility and Morgan was sentenced 40 years. Both got juvenile detention.

Girl: gets a 40 year sentence to prison Also her: *dance dance*

When she said the regret thing at the end that Officer almost couldn't contain his reaction to hearing that

She is stabbed 17 times, and she lives to tell about it , She definitely was a fighter to survive something so horrific 🙏
