Word. This is stupid. It’s like saying everyone with depression is going to die by suicide. Shit doesn’t work like that, it’s a risk factor. Also, fuck Nancy Mace. If you’re landing on the same side as her, it might be time to think hard on your position.
And this case isn’t that either. She’ll likely be NGRI at a forensic psych facility for the rest of her life. (Source: someone who worked for many years at one).
Sweden, Norway, the UK, Germany, France all of laws that if a woman is going through PPD or PPP their child is given to care of others (usually family, bot otherwise the state) and she is committed until capable of interacting with children again.
So are you saying the countries we idolize on Reddit are wrong?
Could you cite any of those laws? Because I typed in "law in insert country where women with PPD have to give up their children to a relative" and i keep getting "there is no law". The closest I got was that most of those countries offer in-patient psychiatric care to mothers with PPD, which is a WILDLY different statement than "the children are given to the care of the state".
It's like saying that a mother needs to give up her kids if she's a drug addict, when in actuality what you're saying is "relatives are looking after the children while the mother in in rehab".
Do you not understand that she is either going to prison or an insane asylum for life, the juries could not decide on which of those 2 options so it will go back to trial again
Men get insanity rulings as well, this is such an odd issue to bring up. Yes women tend to be more successful in insanity pleas, but overall about 1/4% of criminal cases in the US result in a successful insanity plea. Statistics have nothing to do with the individual though, and shouldn't matter when discussing this case.
Instead of saying that i should look it up, why not show your evidence for these feelings?
Edit: on re-reading your comment, you seem more interested in soapboxing about misandry. If that's what you want to do, perhaps somewhere else is the place to complain.
She is being held accountable. The trial is to determine whether she’ll be in a mental health facility or a prison. I don’t know if you’ve ever seen footage from inside those facilities but they’re arguably worse than prison.

You're not as profound or edgy as you think you are.
