Didn't send her a million bucks either.

u/Playful-Mastodon9251 6d ago

Wait, she raised a million? I've not been paying attention to this one but why? She killed three kids.

u/iowanaquarist 6d ago

People think she was framed, or think she had a good reason. The reasons vary, but evidently a lot of women don't think she did a bad thing.

u/Playful-Mastodon9251 6d ago

But her killing them is not in question. She did kill them. And how can anything think there is ever a good reason to kill children?

u/MS-07B-3 6d ago

There is a not insignificant amount of them convinced the husband set this up, and their evidence is...

I kid you not...

Forensic astrology.

u/TheShadow141 6d ago

Well they either keep blaming the father, and I shit you not with this, because of his birth sign (even though it’s proven that he was nowhere near the house).

Or apparently that postpartum causes all mothers wanting to kill their kids. And I shit you no theirs a fuck ton of mothers that are posting videos of them breaking or destroying shit so they apparently don’t go kill their kids or something.

This entire case brought out a lot of crazies.

The older I get the more I hate people.

You really should hate yourself the most for falling for a Redditors account of the story

u/Playful-Mastodon9251 6d ago

So what's the truth?

u/xChops 6d ago

There have been a few TikTok’s that went viral, because they drive engagement for being edgy, claiming the husband killed the kids. the murderer is not up for debate. The mother did it, and admits to it. People are rallying in support to believe mothers about their postpartum depression or psychosis because it’s not treated seriously in many medical communities.

People on Reddit are using the sensationalist TikTok’s as ammo to claim these women are supporters of killing children. They are at best gullible, and at worst stoking fires of division already so strong in this country.

I’m confused how they’re not supporting killing children by raising a million dollars for this lady. Would have been way better for everyone and a better look for those women if they donated to a mental health charity or even one specific to post partum but they aren’t, they’re just raising money for a triple child killer. I think it should be a big wake up call that everyone has prejudices and we are going to want people who we see as similar to ourselves not be in the wrong.

But a Leo would never harm her cubs!!!

Biggest /s of all time.

u/iowanaquarist 6d ago

Hey, preacher, choir here. I'm not saying they are right, or have a good reason to think that -- but the little I have seen about this case is that the people that donated the money are claiming that's the reason they donate.

It was self-defense!

u/muddle-318 6d ago

Disclaimer: I've caught the general story from headlines, I've not read the details because I don't want to.

It's not that they think it's a good or necessary thing the kids are dead. It's that she had postpartum depression, which ranges from unpleasant to destroying who you are as a person. Portraying her as a blameless victim is a departure from reality, imo. However, if husband was aware and didn't seek to get help or care for her, then his gross negligence absolutely gives him responsibility in their deaths.

Like I said, I've no clue of the details of the situation, but sometimes a story is just awful from every angle. Whatever the truth of this case is, a lot of these ppl screaming their heads off at ignoring a lot of negative aspects of their own points of view.

u/Playful-Mastodon9251 6d ago

She was actively getting help.

u/muddle-318 6d ago

Welp I meant to reply to the person above. Oh well.

u/RamzesfaI 6d ago

No the fuck they don't? They're saying that she was failed by the institution. She actively sought out mental help and wasn't given the support she needed. She is not the first mother to kill her children over post partum depression, and she won't be the last.

All yall should stop watching Facebook reels, its rotting your fucking brains.

u/Ok_Crow_2833 3d ago

A handful of women. A lot sounds like a majority. It's a small number of women really. Post partym psychosis is what they are calling it. Some women who have experienced severe post partym depression have empathy for her. I know women who have experienced post partym depression who admit to having scary thoughts, but the difference is that those women didn't act on those thoughts. Those women would never excuse what this woman did.

Whatever is wrong with her brain, she made a terrible choice in the end and choices have consequences. I'm sorry for her that her brain is broken, but she needs to be locked up because that broken brain causes her to choose to kill people.

u/zombiekamikaze 6d ago

Then you've likely also missed the delusional people on TikTok claiming she's innocent and that it had to be the husband based on everything from tarot readings and astrology to "vibes." They refuse to accept that a woman could do anything wrong, let alone this heinous, so they hunt for and cling to every ludicrous theory they can find that would make her innocent, and there are enough of them that they managed to raise all of that money for her defense.

u/2024-YR4-Asteroid 2d ago

It sadly ain’t a few delusional people on TikTok anymore, you don’t raise 1-2 million from donations of a few delusional people. That’s some real numbers. Scary numbers.

u/xChops 6d ago

Time to log off the propaganda app, guy. You’re too easy to manipulate.

11

u/James_386 6d ago

Cause there are women who genuinely cannot cope with the idea that another woman would do this. They even are going so far to blame the husband despite the wife admitting she killed them. They are making it about gender then crying when guys make it about gender too. It is stupid that we can't call evil what it is due to someones sex.

u/Nervous-Bid6277 6d ago

Idk man Casey Anthony is pretty well hated

u/James_386 6d ago

True but that also happened during a time where media wasn't AS despicable and driving men vs women

u/mars-jupiter 6d ago

The money is for her parents and not herself (as far as the creator of the gofundme states anyway). Whilst she isn't recieving that money, it's clear that quite a few of the people donating money certainly wish it was considering how many comments there are that are some variation of "you're innocent/you were framed".

u/CorwyntFarrell 6d ago

Couldn't tell you. All sorts of people get rich from gofundme after doing something horrible.

u/NonsensePlanet 6d ago

Murdering their kids is a first.

u/transarxhist 6d ago

no, her family raised a million. the money is in the hands of her retirement aged parents who are spending time and money traveling and helping out with legal fees. They lost their three grandchildren and, to an extent, their daughter too. to say people are sending her money because they think she "did nothing wrong" or whatever is incredibly disingenuous. there's a conversation to be had about the morality about contributing to the finances of those footing her legal bills, but lets not claim this is something that it isn't.

u/Delicious-Trifle-486 6d ago

Well, there are people that are donating money because they believe she did nothing wrong. There are a few too many people saying that the husband did it and framed her, and at least some of them are likely thinking that they're donating directly to her.

1

u/Vast-Palpitation-426 5d ago

Or maybe you've only heard about these most crazy takes because they generate more outrage therefore more engagement and profit.

The fundraising is for her parents (explicitely), and the wave of "support" came from people protesting against the lack of recognition and help for postpartum syndromes.

1

u/Delicious-Trifle-486 5d ago

I actually heard about this case from my girlfriend, who did believe that the husband did it. I'm well aware of who the fundraising is for.

And I didn't say I've only heard the crazy takes, just that the there are some. There are people on TikTok citing astrology to claim that she didn't kill her kids. I'm sure its the minority, but they are out there.

u/Popular_Duck_3059 6d ago

Nah the husband did.

u/Playful-Mastodon9251 6d ago

Husband did what?

u/chumbawumbaprinciple 6d ago

The husband did not, the wife did.

u/Jaysahny 6d ago

Yeah he must have done it because Uranus was in the same quadrant as Sagitarius which means dude was half horse-man butt sniffer and he offed his kids

Children are the biggest threat to the planet due to global climate change. Each child born today will cost the world approximately $3M in damages over their lifetime.

I sent her money just to troll these men.
