Awful!
A 14-year-old girl has been arrested after she set her family home ablaze while her family was fast asleep inside!
The incident happened in Port Richey, Florida, this past Thursday morning and Fire Rescue found the teen’s 9-year-old brother inside and the mother, but originally they could NOT locate the teen girl.
However when the search began for her the mom received a text from her daughter that read:
“Mom Im so sorry I dont know why I did it…Did any of u get hurt.”
The teen girl was soon afterwards located and taken into custody. While being questioned by police, she admitted that she was a frequent reader of websites such as Creepypasta.com and SoulEater.com – sites where the character Slender Man is very prevalent.
Slender Man was of course the inspiration for that awful incident a few months ago where two teen girls stabbed their 12-year-old best friend multiple times as a “tribute” to Slender Man.
The fourteen year old girl apparently would read the websites and then become upset with her mother for disciplining her before bed. She used a bottle of rum with an accelerant and started the fire in the family’s garage — knowing full well her family was still inside.
Police found the teen’s journal which had entires such as, “If this keeps up there will be no one safe in this house,” and, “Mom if you ever find this before it happens Im sorry…”
She also mentioned frequent thoughts of “killing.”
Ah! So scary!
However, we’re glad that everyone in the house turned out safe, and this girl is hopefully getting the help that she now obviously needs.
Police investigators are still trying to determine whether the girl will be charged as a juvenile or as an adult.
