"Slender Man Stabbing: Woman Denied Release from Psychiatric Hospital"

Morgan Geyser, who stabbed a classmate at age 12 to please the fictional character Slender Man, has been deemed a risk to the public and will not be released from a psychiatric hospital in Wisconsin. Despite testimony from psychiatrists stating her readiness to return to the community, the judge ruled against her release, citing concerns about her credibility and the risk to public safety. Geyser, diagnosed with schizophrenia spectrum disorder, has shown improvement and has been off antipsychotic medications with no new symptoms since 2022. She can file another petition for release in six months.
