                            12-year old Indiana girl murders Step-mother

12-year old Indiana girl murdered Step-mother. She fatally stabbed her Step-mother because apparently 'Laughing Jack' told her to, according to reports. The Elkhart girl set her family's apartment on fire and stabbed someone known as Maria Torres, according to documents filed on a Tuesday. The unidentified Elkhart girl “heard voices and had an 'alter ego' months before the stabbing and begged her father for help,” the court documents said.

Doctors have diagnosed the Indiana girl as suffering from post-traumatic stress and dissociative identity disorder, formerly known as multiple personality disorder, WSBT reported. She’s been living for months in a Goshen juvenile detention center, where she’s seeing a counselor and taking medication but still pleading staff for help. She won’t stand trial unless she’s deemed fit to understand the charges against her.

er family’s main concern is getting her transferred to a state mental hospital after 16 psychiatric facilities have refused her, the girl’s lawyer, Elkhart public defender Holly Curtis, told the TV station.
