===Early History and murder record===
The Children of Slender as an organization was formed in 1996. Over the course of four years, they committed acts of terrorism and murder across the United States. They mainly target girls and young women, as well as young children. Their first victim was 15-year old Ariana Shepherd, who was found mutilated in the woods after she'd gone missing in the summer of 1999. Next was 17-year old Maisie Cox, who was murdered in her own home at the hands of a sniper, along with her parents. Though police launched a manhunt all throughout the summer of 1999 and into the year 2000, the sniper who killed Maisie was never found. 
===2016 New York Incident===
The organization came to an end when they abducted Helen Moore, Natalya Fashkova, and several other girls and young women, intending to sacrifice them to Slenderman. However, Helen was able to call the police and her father prior to being taken, which gave Gerald and his colleagues Derek Westbrook and Sherry Pearlman a chance at a rescue mission. 
Using a tracker on Helen's phone, Derek and his allies tracked Helen's captors to a cabin in the woods in the New York countryside. However, it was later discovered that Helen and her fellow captives had escaped on their own, which led to a race against the Children of Slender to find the girls first before they could be recaptured. They were able to locate Helen and her friends, but the Children of Slender set up an ambush and briefly incapacitated Gerald and his allies, buying enough time for the cultists to recapture Helen and her friends, as well as some "fresh meat."
Following a hectic helicopter chase through the mountains, French tourist, pilot and police officer Laurette Sorel was able to destroy the helicopter the Children of Slender planned to use to escape from the TACITUS rescue squad. Following this, Sorel and her friends engaged in a brutal hand-to-hand fight against the surviving cult members and rescued the girls. With the death of Louis Defranco, the current head of the Children of Slender, the American cell as a whole was eventually dismantled.
However, the organization as a whole is revealed to have gone global, with cultists springing up in Europe, Asia, and Africa as well. 
==Modus Operandi==
Their modus operandi is ritualistic murder: they would kidnap girls, young women, and children, and kill them under the pretext of "liberating" their souls by sacrificing them to Slenderman.
