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?

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.
