No, I don't see any bias in this article. And to be honest, I don't necessarily see a problem with the father approving of his daughter's interest. I was into some pretty twisted, morbid stuff when I was twelve, and my parents allowed me to pursue these interests with their supervision. I turned out fine.

At this moment, we don't know whether or not this girl's parents were as aware of their daughter's online use as they should have been. But their being okay with her fondness for Slenderman is not damning in and of itself.
