Two web sites popular with Canadian youngsters have been named in a murder tragedy.
Police in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, have asked Nexopia.com to take down items after two people, one of them, a 12-year-old girl, were accused of murdering a family of three in Medicine Hat.
“Are you stalking me? cuz that would be super” and “WelcomeToMyTragicEnd” were posted on Nexopia.com by the girl, says the story.

The other accused is a 23-year-old man, “whom friends have said sparked a romance” with the 12-year-old after meeting her on VampireFreaks.com.
“Both sites have been previously named in connection with tragedy, including the trial for the murder of a 12-year-old boy in Toronto, and security scares, such as high school hit lists that have surfaced in Calgary,” says the Globe and Mail..
The girl, who looks much more mature than her age, and Jeremy Steinke, both of Medicine Hat, were remanded in custody yesterday, it says. They were arrested in Saskatchewan after Marc and Debra Richardson and their son Jacob, 10, were found dead in their home.
VampireFreaks.com features items by people, “with user names such as SuicideOfLove, TeenageOddity and RottingNails who share feelings of depression, loneliness and anger mixed with gallows humour,” says the Canadian Press.
“In recent weeks, the Grade 7 schoolgirl had abandoned her clean-cut look for a darker, Goth style with heavy eyeliner and makeup.”
“Vampirefreaks.com is brought to you by FuckTheMainstream.com,” says the site.

The FAQ says it’s the creation of a Brooklyn youth who started it 1999 when he was 15.
“I was just getting into the industrial scene, and I would draw random drawings and graffiti in my notebooks during class, just something to do when I was bored,” says the author.
“One of the prevalent things I would write would be ‘Vampire Freaks’, which I thought would be a cool name for a band or something, as I was also really interested in vampire stories at the time. And around the same time I also would draw a version of the VF logo, but with jagged teeth in it. So when I decided to make my own website, luckily ‘vampirefreaks.com’ was not taken so I decided to use the name.”
In 2004, “My son, Joshua was born,” the FAQ goes on.

“A month after his birth, the new version of Vampirefreaks was complete, I called it ‘Vampirefreaks 2.0′. I completely revamped the vampirefreaks website, and made it a new interactive profile website, programmed in php. The new format allowed anybody to join and post their pictures, compared to the previous system where I had to review everyone’s picture submissions and only choose a select few.”
