Beware the Slenderman Page #2

about her interest,

I didn't really see

the harm in it either.

We never thought

for a moment that she...

She could possibly believe

that it was real.

When I was Morgan's age, I...

I remember biking home from the

library with Stephen King's "It."

You know, so I liked that sort

of thing too when I was her age,

and I think most kids her age do like

scary stories and horror movies and...

scary stories on the Internet, you know?

So, that's all that we...

that's all that

we thought that it was.

I just can't imagine her...

I can't imagine her coming up

with that plan on her own.

My bonnie...

My bonnie lies

over the ocean

My bonnie

lies over the sea

My bonnie lies

over the ocean

So bring back

my bonnie to me

Bring back, bring back

Oh, bring back

my bonnie to me

Bring back!

Bring back

Back

Oh, bring back my bonnie

to me Bonnie... me

She lost a tooth, so the tooth

fairy gave her a dollar.

It was that tooth.

I was telling her...

I was like, "A dollar?"

I said, "I only ever got

quarters from the tooth fairy."

She was happy.

The tooth fairy

gave her a dollar.

This was the last video I have.

This was at the end of her

sixth grade year for school.

Hush, hush,

somebody's callin' my name

Hush! Somebody's

callin' my name

Hush, hush,

somebody's callin' my name

Oh my Lord, oh my Lord,

what should I do?

Yes, this is Anissa's

very pink bedroom.

At the time that we painted

this, pink was the thing.

Anissa's his person.

Tiger is Anissa's cat.

After Anissa left...

he would come up here

and he'd spend a lot of time

just walking around,

nosing around,

looking for Anissa.

You know, nobody uses...

the bed while she's gone.

I don't know,

maybe the cat does, but...

I guess it just made more sense

to take everything apart

and wash it

and when she comes home,

it's all clean and ready to go.

It's just a matter of when.

She would come

in here to practice choir.

She did projects

that she would have to FaceTime

with two or three different kids

from this flight academy class

she was in.

'Cause I'd pop in

on a regular basis.

I'd just you know,

"What are you doing?"

I see a face on the iPad.

"Okay, who are you talking to?"

You know, "What are

you guys working on?"

And then you know, most days...

you know, 7:
30, "Anissa,

you're done with your iPad."

Shut it down, come downstairs,

be with your family."

And she never argued.

People have asked me if I saw any signs

in my daughter and this and that.

And I'm just like, "No. I knew

what she was doing in here."

Because when she wasn't doing her

choir practice, that door was open."

You know, all of the kids...

not just Anissa, all
