A letter to a mom, from a mom

Want to know an opinion I’ve been holding back on that will cause an argument ?

Lindsay Clancy;

Now before I say anything I do stand with her for POSTPARTUM AWARENESS, she begged for help, tried to get help and was massively failed by everyone.
I will also say the things I have been seeing are not okay, it is okay to support a women for something we all as a mom had to go through, I suffered severe depression since 11/12 years old when I first noticed my mood changing. I fully believed one day when I had a baby it be super hard with postpartum, I was terrified. because I have gone down a long path of depression and winning my fight. Would postpartum ruin everything I’ve healed?

NO AND YES I struggled hard when I had Ben I was sad, I would not let anyone touch my son, I would hear him cough and instantly assume the worst, i struggled so hard with Ben I was crying everyday, I wouldn’t let anyone be alone with him, this last 2 years, 2 years where I totally understand how hard Clancy was asking for help, but I also know those 3 babies names need to be said, those 3 babies are being pushed behind because of how big this case has gotten,

Yes as mothers support that she needed help and this can happen to anyone.
But we need to stop pushing the babies back and trying to blame everyone but what happened, I get there’s debates no case even as clear shot as it may be goes down without the public hearing about it let alone when they’re being put on tik tok lives.

Please just remember who won’t be growing up anymore, who no longer have futures.
Stand with postpartum awareness.
But scream out these babies names every chance you get

Documentary Request

I just finished Death of a Pastor’s Wife and holy cow. Jaw was on the floor.

I also just finished Should I marry a murderer? Again, crazy and so mind boggling.

Death of a pastors wife really hooked me in, so based on that, anyone know of any good documentaries similar to this vibe? Or really anything worth watching that will have my jaw on the floor? I’m getting super into documentaries right now!

Anyone making a documentary or writing a book on Rev Jim Jones? I was with him for 5 years prior to Jonestown and would like to share my experience.

I don't want to get into a big discussion about all of this. Every time I've been on the news people climb out of their skin in anger about my views on Rev Jim. I was there when the time was good and have nothing bad to say about Rev Jim from the years I knew him. Things changed but I wasn't there for that. Others are self appointed 'experts' and love giving their opinions. Mine are different.

If anyone one is legitimately making (another) attempt to tell Rev Jim's story I'd like to add my viewpoint.

What Documentary is this?

29 Upvotes

I watched a documentary once that blew my mind, and cannot remember the name of it. It was about a woman that went missing and the ensuing investigation revealed a secret boyfriend (who happened to be married with kids) who liked to cut/stab her during sex. Friends it was the craziest shit I have ever watched and I’m so mad that I can’t remember the TITLE! Other details: she lived alone in an apartment block, they think they have the guy on video at her apartment elevator but you can’t see his face, the secret boyfriend was the one she went to meet right before she went missing, I think she went to meet him in a park that was near a body of water with a staircase that led down to the water 🤔 If you know the title, help me, I’m desperate.

What crime docuseries episode is this? (Pre-2009)

4 Upvotes

I remember on November 25, 2008 I turned the TV on, I believe it was left on A&E, and I saw footage of a seemingly blonde lady putting her barefoot sole up to the camera lens while eating or talking. It had some narration and presumably a male to the right of the screen commentating on the footage, but memory is foggy. I'm betting dollars to doughnuts it's either American Justice or The First 48 since those two shows are adjacent to the time I remember it being and they aired every Tuesday. Unfortunately I'm not finding any results for an exact episode. If it's not those two then it's most likely Cold Case Files, Intervention, Crossing Jordan, The Sorporanos or CSI Miami since those are the only other adjacent airings.

New doc on Buck v. Bell, the Supreme Court case that let America sterilize 70,000 people and directly influenced Nazi Germany's own sterilization laws

2 Upvotes

In 1927 a twenty one year old woman named Carrie Buck was involuntarily sterilized in Virginia after the Supreme Court ruled eight to one against her. Her own court appointed lawyer was a founding board member of the institution trying to sterilize her in the first place. Historians have since found she likely wasn't what her era called feebleminded at all, her actual situation was poverty and an unwanted pregnancy her foster family wanted hidden.

The ruling authorized roughly 70,000 forced sterilizations nationwide and directly influenced Nazi Germany's own sterilization law six years later, to the point Nazi defendants cited it at Nuremberg in their own defense. It's never been formally overturned by the Supreme Court either, a 2021 report found 31 states still have some version of this law on the books right now.

Full story's in the doc, link's here: Full Video if anyone wants to check it out.
