A Wisconsin woman accused of stabbing her classmate to please horror character Slender Man more than a decade ago asked a judge again Friday to release her from a psychiatric hospital.

Morgan Geyser, who is now 22 years old, filed a petition with Waukesha County Circuit Judge Michael Bohren seeking her release from the Winnebago Mental Health Institute. The petition marks the third time in the last two years she has asked Bohren to let her out of the facility.

She withdrew her first petition two months after filing it in 2022. Bohren denied her second request this past April, saying she remains a risk to the public.

    I mean sure, but at 12 years old you cannot possibly be a lost cause I would think, there is still so much development going on.

      That is like saying a 12 year old should be able to be healed from being quadriplegic because they are still growing. Some medical conditions are for live (at our current medical knowledge) and it doesn’t matter if they are “physical” or “mental”.

          Just because their brains are still developing doesn’t mean they aren’t developing wrong.

          If the foundation is fucked the whole thing is gonna be fucked no matter how much time you give it.

          Some people are unfortunately born with fucked foundations be they physical or mental.
