A Wisconsin woman accused of stabbing her classmate in 2014 to please horror character Slender Man is asking a judge again to release her from a psychiatric hospital.

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.

    Yes. Treat them:

    The report says staff at Piney Ridge Treatment Center, an Acadia-owned PRTF in Fayetteville, “routinely simultaneously chemically restrained and secluded children, in violation of federal regulation.”

    “At that same facility, staff conducted 110 restraints and seclusions in a 30-day period,” it says.

    The report documented numerous problems at Millcreek Behavioral Health in Fordyce, another Acadia-owned PRTF. One child, for example, was regularly strip-searched, and, at least, twice subjected to a vaginal cavity search by staff. “During the restraint, a staffer touched her breast and made her squat naked in the shower for a forced vaginal cavity search,” the report said.
