12-year-old girls are perfectly able to get up to horrible acts without the Internet. See this horrible event which happened fairly near to where I grew up: [Cruel Sacrifices](http://www.amazon.com/Cruel-Sacrifice-Aphrodite-Jones/dp/0786024984/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1402067261&sr=1-1&keywords=cruel+sacrifice+by+aphrodite+jones) (book by Aphrodite Jones. Teenage girls tortured, mutilated, and killed another girl — " …a tragic story of twisted love and insane jealousy, lesbianism, brutal child abuse, and sadistic ritual killing in small-town America."
