Mad respect for her. Either she is aware that she is unwell, and wants to receive proper treatment and atone for what she did, or she wants to garner support. But with zero context other than knowing what it is like, not being able to trust your own mind, I solemnity hope it is the first one, and hope she gets the help she deserves.
Mad respect for a murderer of an innocent child?
Mad respect for an insane person, who might have struggled with undiagnosed schizophrenia, committed an atrocious act, and is using her chance at an early release to, instead of requesting one, seek a proper diagnosis and medical help, NOT an early release.
Edit: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slender_Man_stabbing
You can read up on her mental state, history with schizophrenia, hallucinations and psychosis. I maintain what I said, poor girl, she was failed by the medical system.
Her victim was an innocent girl, who did not deserve what happened to her, and it is too late to save her, but no reason to deny help to another one clearly needing it.
Did we read the same article?
She is currently in a mental health facility and she wants to be released from it.
This woman is not a victim, she is a perpetrator. If she is so dangerous that she needs to be medicated all the time, she should never be released because no one will be able to ensure she takes her medication.
Let's just say I have been following the case for a while and have some context that is missing on the article. She "filed a petition for release", on the same way you file for a fishing license if you write "help me" on every field and mailing it over to the overseeing body.
As per the same article
Schizophrenics with enough understanding of their condition can be released to the society, provided they keep getting help. Picture yourself a believer in a god, and if said deity appeared to you, beyond any shade of a doubt and commanded you to kill one person to save the world, Would you do it?
Schizophrenia not only gives you delusions, it also influences you to believe they are real, and many people afflicted by such condition have gotten better through treatment and medication.
I might be reading the article with kinder, hopeful eyes, because I have worked with people suffering from that condition for a very long time, but to me, it looks like she is now, aware of what she did and reaching out for help.
I'm not trying to defend her but she did not murder her, she made a full recovery
