State Failed to Warn SlenderMan Victim Her Attacker Escaped

TrueNorthNews - December 6, 2025

Public outrage has consumed the Waukesha County District Attorney after she failed to notify Morgan Geyser’s victim, Payton Leutner and her family, that the Slender Man attacker was on the run.

Boese was notified by the Wisconsin Department of Health Services that the attacker — who was charged with attempted homicide after she stabbed her friend in an attempt to appease the fictional character “Slender Man”— was on the run 12 hours after cutting off his ankle bracelet and having fled from his group home.

“No one did contact them,” WCDA Lesli Boese said, adding that Geyser was in the custody of the state Department of Health Services. “I would have expected that the Department of Health Services would have contacted them to let them know.”

Gov. Tim Walz and Minnesota Taxpayers Get Fleeced

Democrats staggeringly gullible!

Now that Minnesota has retained Paul Bunyan’s axe in its dismal 17 to 7 defeat of the Wisconsin Badgers men’s football team, it’s our privilege to throw a little shade on its governor. You remember Tim Walz, don’t you? Guy the Democrats picked as Kamala’s running mate. (We say again: DJT has been lucky in his opponents.)

“Coach Walz” is presiding over the kind of crisis that would bring down governments in the U.K., cause riots in Haiti, and sink various South Pacific island-nations into the sea. The money graph, please:

“Gov. Tim Walz and fellow Democrats are being asked to explain how so much money was stolen on their watch.”

Not Fox News. Not Steve Bannon. That’s the New York Times. The President’s favorite source of fake news describes the scam as “staggering in its scale and brazenness.” Maybe one billion dollars worth of graft, all perpetrated by Somali immigrants attracted to Minnesota’s progressive welfare honey jar. The scammers brandished the immigrant and race cards as their get-out-of-jail card until Donald Trump’s Justice Department lowered the boom.

Majority of Wisconsin kids fall short in math as legislators consider fix

Number of UW math degrees plummeting in age of AI

As math proficiency continues to decline in Wisconsin schools, the Legislature is considering a plan to improve numeracy, or the ability to work with numbers in daily life.

Lawmakers filed Assembly Bill 615 last month after the release of more disappointing reports about the math skills of elementary and high school students in the state and around the county.

The reports come at a time when considerably fewer students nationally and at Universities of Wisconsin are graduating with mathematics degrees — but when mathematics departments are stressing the discipline’s importance in the age of artificial intelligence.
