http://www.modvive.com/2014/09/06/slender-man-inspires-teen-torch-home-mom-brother-inside/
Sender Man has inspired another act of teenage violence as this time police say the fictional character led a 14-year-old girl to set fire to her Florida family home with her mother and sibling inside.
The suspected arsonist was arrested early Thursday after allegedly soaking a towel and a bed sheet with bleach and rum then lighting it on fire in the garage of the Port Richey, Florida home. Inside the home sleeping were her mother and her 9-year-old brother.
Fortunately the home featured working smoke detectors and the teens mother and brother were able to escape the home before it was completely engulfed in flames around 1:45 a.m.
After setting the fire the teen went to a nearby park and fell asleep in the restroom, where police eventually found her and made the arrest.
Florida girl, of course. Is Florida girl related to Florida man maybe?

First it's nailing someone's hands and feet to a wooden cross and he miraculously comes back to life. Next thing you know...Slender Man.

Will insurance pay to fix the home since a family member set fire to it? What a shame for that family to be out of a home and vehicle because their gullible teen daughter got caught up in this stupid Slenderman cyberfolklore
