i don't understand the negativism about this, if you read the description of the authos says: "A photographer based out of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada who specializes in dark and horror themed photography".... it's clear that this is some of her work, and surely she had permission from the parents to do this,..., i think artistically, is very good....

Ok, as a parent....of an almost 13 year old "impressionable" daughter....who by the way just showed me these RAD A*S photos....I will say from a "Mommy Point of View" the following: It is not the job of an ARTIST to safeguard our children. It is up to the parents to either support or SUPPRESS our children's access to art in the contemporary world. My daughter is incredible artistic, mixed media....diverse subjects...etc. These inspire her just as much as anime watercolor yet in a different light. HARMLESS. Go ahead and demonize this artist if you will, but if you are worried about the access your children have...it is your right and duty to monitor your children. #EnjoyingCreepyArtWithMyChild #HAPPYHALLOWEENWHINERS!

Why why why does someone have to stifle their creativity because others are ignorant? Unfortunately sometimes bad things happen but that is absolutely no reason to stomp on someone elses creativity. If these photographs were something that you personally did not like or did not want your children to see them don't click the link. That is the glorious part about being human we can make that choice. Art in any form is supposed to start a dialogue and THIS is the perfect example of tjat

In fact here's a thought USE these pictures to educate your children on the fact that Slenderman is fictional instead of berating the artist for how they choose to express themselves. Why do we have to take away EVERYTHING that could even remotely be controversial? Let's start a conversation and educate instead of ban things
