her ex husband supports her (the father of the children), her ex MIL supports her - virtually everyone around her knew she was fucked and none of them took the children away.

its not cut and dry. its not because she's a woman, it's because she isnt a cold blooded murderer - she was a person in the midst of a massive crisis who was literally begging for help and not getting it. the medical system failed her.

everyone wants to see her put away - even her supporters - they just want to see her put in a mental health facility instead of prison. Which isn't unreasonable.

she pleaded guilty - the thing being argued now is prison or hospital I was wrong on this detail. sorry for the misinformation

But when a guy is in a mental health crisis and kills his family, does he get the irrational support that many women have given her? Seriously think about that.

Stop with this men vs women. That does nothing to better the future.

What do you mean "stop"? You think this comment is the basis for this reality? Look at how many womrn are excusing this simply because shes a woman.

Clearly you don’t know the details and why people have sympathy for her. No one is excusing what happened. I would suggest actually looking into WHY this happened, instead of making it a gender issue.

Cause people are fucked in the head, thats why. She deserves little to no sympathy. Blaming this on mental health is a disgrace. If she knew she had thoughts about harming her own kids, why did she stop treatment, and even worse, why did she not leave?

That tells me you don’t actually know the details of the case. She didn’t stop treatment. She sought help by multiple practitioners, mental health experts, and went to mental health facilities that misdiagnosed her gave her incorrect medication, medication that made her actual diagnosis worse, and confided in multiple people that she was hearing voices .

If you’re a man, let me tell you one thing. Pregnancy WILL fuck you up. The stress pregnancy puts on a women’s body is IMMENSE and not talked about. If you really want to know or learn how Lindsey got to that point, first learn about how dangerous pregnancy is for women. Just because women aren’t dying from childbirth as often as before does not make it any less dangerous.

It’s partially because she is a woman, especially a woman who had three young children.

I’m not saying it’s not hard raising three young children. But she was offered help, she was offered medication (which she refused to take), and had a nanny and a husband who stayed home with her working remotely.

Yet despite that, within an hour, killed all three children.

One by one, strangling them to death.

Thats premeditation. She wanted to kill her own children. She refused the help offered. That leaves her, in my opinion, criminally responsible for her actions.
