 		I actually wonder if Damsel didn't get super busy OOG or something. It just seems totally weird to have her almost become directly involved, then "get arrested" and completely vanish. The cops can't actually hold you indefinitely on no real charge, unless they shipped her to Guantanamo or something.

As for the #savethedamsel thing... I really think that, if they tried it, Slendy would stop them. She sees the Words, she knows, and she's part of Slendy's web.


Its better they die saving a damsel then searching a pointless wreckage.


A good point to be sure, but there are really only a few options about these locations:

1. This all part of Slendy's plan, to get them toward some goal that involves finding Jessie, saving the Damsel, and perhaps surviving,

2. This is all part of Slendy's plan to drive them mad and lead them all to death, or

3. Slendy is screwing with them, leading them on a wild goose chase and will eventually (perhaps with the help of the Rake) kill them all.

Of course, option 3 is no fun, and 1 assumes that Slendy is either somewhat benevolent or neutral in this situation.

I believe they put her in a mental hospital to undergo psychological evaluation. I'd have to double-check to make sure, though.

There are questions everywhere without any answer. Thats why we must push them to get the answers.

Currently, we're just watching them drown.

 		I often wonder what it'd be like if Jeff did his own Antoine Dodson version of Jessa going missing. Preferably the auto tuned version.

Random thought but it made me giggle.

I'm not massively familiar with mental health regulations of the United States, but I suspect that there's possibly a legal provision for detention under mental health laws for public safety if they deem there's a threat to the public by her being out. I know it's possible in the UK for persons to be sectioned under the Mental Health Act for public safety.

EDIT: Didz, I love that idea, I did a little chuckle at it myself.

Option 3 is no fun, but I still think that slender man is definitely not trying to do any good deeds, I go for option 2

also, off topic, I am going to guess that Evan will be either the first or last/second last to die, but even if he is first the die, I am sure the series will either end, or start the beginning of the end with his death. I don't see much hope for him living.

Considering she had her artwork looked at and everything in her past the police probably deemed her either a danger to herself or the public. Thats usually when you can be detained in a mental ward on someone in authorities say so rather than your own.

But like you said, that's the UK.

Good deeds done indirectly? If Slendy is a completely malevolent being he would have done away with them in a number of ways. He doesn't attack unless provoked, and this hasn't turned into a "picked off one by one" ordeal, which it would come down to it Slender Man was completely malevolent. He's an evil bastard, to be sure, but he has motives beyond human comprehension.

The trio is convinced that isn't the case, since they tweeted that He isn't leading them to her.

The specifics vary from state to state, but if someone is deemed to be a danger to themselves or others, they can be held by the state involuntarily.

Well my point is that he doesn't have the intention of being good, however I think he is either enjoying his time with them, or has some alternate reason to why he wants them to be alive.

 		@Didz, exactly my thoughts. The only question is how long can they detain someone under that provision?

Wikipedia wrote:
In 1977, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that involuntary hospitalization and/or treatment violates an individual's civil rights in O'Connor v. Donaldson. This ruling forced individual states to change their statutes. For example, the individual must be exhibiting behavior that is a danger to himself or others in order to be held, the hold must be for evaluation only and a court order must be received for more than very short term treatment or hospitalization (typically no longer than 72 hours). This ruling has severely limited involuntary treatment and hospitalization in the U.S.[24] In the U.S. the specifics of the relevant statutes vary from state to state.[25]


@Prometheus, beat me to the punch.

If not to Jessa and the Damsel, then perhaps to some sort of truth? Each location has given them hints, hints about other people involved, hint about Fairmount, hints about HABIT and the school fire and the Rake. There has to be something that connects all of these, and that is most likely patient-EVAN or HABIT.

Generally until they're deemed ok to be let back out into the public BUT also with constant checks at the doctors for a while........like I've said in previous posts, I know some fuuuucked up people lol.
