Wisconsin woman who stabbed classmate to please 'Slender Man' won't be released from psychiatric hospital

ctvnews.ca/world/wisconsin-woman-who-stabbed-classmate-to-please-slender-man-won-t-be-released-from-psychiatric-hospital-1.6843741

Quick Glance: Girl Who Stabbed Classmate for 'Slender Man' Won't Be Released

A 21-year-old Morgan Geyser was deemed a continued risk to the public by a Wisconsin judge and will not be released from a psychiatric hospital yet.

Despite assessments from two psychiatrists, including the medical director of Winnebago Mental Health Institute, Judge Michael Bohren ruled against Geyser's release.

Geyser and Anissa Weier were 12 when they lured Payton Leutner to a park in 2014, where Geyser stabbed her multiple times in an attempt to please Slender Man, a fictional online horror character.

Although doctors noted an improvement in Geyser and her readiness to reintegrate into the community, the judge decided against her release due to credibility issues and concerns regarding public safety.

Magnitude-7.5 earthquake hits Taiwan, triggering tsunami warning in Japan, Philippines

Quick Glance: Taiwan Rejects China's Aid Offer After Earthquake

Taiwanese authorities have not yet estimated the cost of recovering from the massive, deadly earthquake that hit the island on Wednesday.

China offered aid, but Taiwan swiftly turned it down due to their conflict-ridden relationship.

Taiwan's quick rejection likely stems from lingering bitterness over how the 1999 earthquake was handled.

China's aid always comes with conditions, leading to Taiwan's resistance based on distrust and military threats.

Quick Glance: 'The Sympathizer': Revealing Vietnam War's History

HBO and A24's satire 'The Sympathizer' features Robert Downey Jr. in four roles to shed light on the history of the Vietnam War.

Viet Thanh Nguyen's Pulitzer Prize novel 'The Sympathizer' is adapted into a seven-episode miniseries exploring the memories of a half-French, half-Vietnamese Communist spy during the Vietnam War and his new life as a refugee in Los Angeles.
