Agree with all of this

Hard to say whether the idea was already there for the girl or if the show created the idea for her. Maybe the show did show her a way to do it or make her feel more justified in doing it but it just as likely could’ve happened regardless. But at 12, either her parents or the friend’s parents should’ve been more careful about what they were watching as well (especially if there was any reason to be alarmed)

Either way, this is a very sad story though
