ByPsychologists said Morgan Geyser , who stabbed a classmate at age 12 to please the online character Slender Man in 2014 should not be released yet.Two psychologists testified Wednesday that a Wisconsin woman who at age 12 stabbed a sixth-grade classmate nearly to death to please the online horror character Slender Man should not be released yet from a psychiatric hospital.
"That would be rather remarkable. That would be very callous as well," said Brooke Lundbohm, who has seen Geyser since 2014."If the person is not able to have insight into their mental health condition, the potential warning signs, the triggers that could cause decline, have insight into the kinds of treatment that may be beneficial - it raises a lot of concerns" about being discharged, Lundbohm testified.
Geyser and Anissa Weier were 12 in 2014 when they lured Payton Leutner to a Waukesha park after a sleepover. Geyser stabbed Leutner repeatedly while Weier egged her on. Leutner suffered 19 stab wounds and barely survived, authorities said. Another psychologist, Deborah Collins, said Geyser has made "bona fide progress" but agreed that she could pose a risk to the public. Collins said release could be appropriate in six to 12 months."She's future-oriented. She's goal-oriented as well," Collins said.
