I knew it was a huge mistake when that judge allowed her to leave and go to the group home. That girl is batsh*t crazy. Imagine how her victim felt upon learning of Morgan's escape.

Just proved she was not ready to be out and about.

Everyone who advocated for her to be let out should be thoroughly ashamed of themselves. Utterly ridiculous.

Hope that judge is proud for granting early release. Cannot imagine what her victim went through emotionally after learning of her escape.

No way this girl should be free; she has learned nothing.

She needs to go back to jail, not a housing situation.

So if she proved herself sane enough to get out of the mental hospital she can finish the rest of her sentence in real jail, no?

How come no one is asking why she was allowed to have the letters from the man who is also clearly a sociopath? The facility and group home, need to be held accountable.

The important thing to remember- she did this *while medicated in the group home.* Imagine what she'll do when she *isn't medication compliant.*
