TORONTO – An Ohio woman has come forward claiming her 13-year-old daughter stabbed her during a Slender Man-inspired attack.
The teen’s mother, who asked not to be identified, told Cincinnati news outlet WLWT News 5 that her daughter attacked her with a knife while wearing a mask.
“I came home one night from work and she was in the kitchen waiting for me. She was wearing a white mask, she had her hood up and her hands covered with her sleeves,” the woman told WLWT News 5.
The teen had become obsessed with the Slender Man – she had even created a world for the fictional Internet character in the game ‘Minecraft’
Slender Man is depicted as an unnaturally tall man with long, stretched-out limbs. He has no facial features and is often depicted as having an all-white face.
The character was created in 2009 as part of a photo-editing contest and quickly became a viral Internet sensation. Slender Man is now a popular character on “Creepypasta” forums – where users submit short horror stories.
The mother said she came forward with her story after hearing about the two 12-year-old Wisconsin girls who nearly stabbed their friend to death in order to “please” Slender Man.
The 13-year-old had previously been diagnosed with mental health issues, but had never shown signs of violence. According to her mother, both her artwork and writing was very dark and often referenced demons and insanity.
The teen is now in Hamilton County juvenile detention facing charges.
Her mother suffered cuts to her neck and face and a puncture wound on her back in the attack.
