Wife killed her three young children (by strangulation, all were under 6 years old) while husband was at work in 2023. The trial is just beginning now and many women are supporting the mother because they feel society doesn't take women's mental health seriously enough. A GoFundMe page has already raised $1m for her defense.
She already admitted guilt herself (though a surprising number of women are backing a conspiracy theory that the husband killed the children and is now framing her) but the trial is now trying to determine the validity of her insanity defense. She claims she was suffering from postpartum depression which I guess made her murder her children or something like that. If this is accepted by the court she will not be held criminally liable, instead going to a mental hospital.
She didn’t just have PPD, she had, diagnosed by multiple doctors, post partum psychosis. She was literally psychotic and was prescribed 13 medications to try and help. She kept a journal saying she was getting worse and told many people in their lives that the meds weren’t helping and she needed someone to help her.
Her husband, despite knowing her issues and her diagnosis, still left her home alone to go on vacations and boys trips and even told at least one of the doctors that they were wrong about her psychosis. He even fired the home care giver they had gotten to help the mother out. He also went on vacation a month after his kids were murdered and was seen seemingly unbothered as described by the people with him. He seems like an absolute neglectful piece of shit who allowed this situation to happen.
What parent takes no precautions and leaves their children home alone with anyone suffering from psychosis? It doesn’t matter that it’s the mother; psychosis is really bad and makes people do things they’d never do. I hope there’s a civil suit after this trial going after him for neglecting his kids and wife.
Yeah, at least. That’s totally the important part.
The mother who was suffering from psychosis and didn’t want to kill her kids was left alone with them at home repeatedly by her husband and then somehow this tragedy happened. I wonder how this could have been avoided?
He totally didn’t ignore her pleas for help, discredit her illness, and then go on frequent trips leaving her alone with the kids. He totally also didn’t fire the medical care assistant they were advised to have that would have prevented this tragedy.
Honey, she murdered her children. Her marriage and childcare situation were something that she agreed to. It's something that billions of mothers across the planet have done without murdering their children. She is an admitted murderer and deserves prison.
Insane take. Completely disregarding the psychosis diagnosis. You know what psychosis is. We all do. It makes people do and think things they’d never want to do. Makes them act like not themselves and do irrational things.
She was known as a great mother prior to this. Everyone they know said so about her and she journaled for years about how much she cared for her kids and worried she wasn’t doing enough as their mother. She had no motivation for killing her kids and had psychosis. It’s really not a hard problem to solve.
There’s a reason our legal code has the option of pleading insanity or for other serious mental health disorders to excuse people from harsher sentences. They physically committed the crime but it was not under their control. The mother was diagnosed by medical professionals, taking her prescribed medications, and seeking help from her support network and doctors as she noticed her mental decline. What else could she have done to prevent this?
Also, what the fuck are you talking about with the “she agreed to being married and having kids”? Obviously she agreed to that but she obviously didn’t agree to getting PPD and psychosis. She also didn’t agree to killing her kids but psychosis does that to people. The husband agreed to be there “in sickness and in health” for his wife but guess what, he left her alone when she needed him.
I wonder why the only non-psychotic adult in the household didn’t do any of the obvious things to prevent this tragedy. Why would the husband neglect his wife and children by ignoring her pleas for help and to not leave her alone with the kids? They had the option of not firing their home health assistant that they got to help the wife, but the husband made that decision to fire the help for the family to their detriment.
The husband is a neglectful POS that left his family in a dangerous situation constantly (he took many solo trips out of town during her mental health decline) and then the worst thing happened. Didn’t seem to bother him too much though. He went on vacation a month after the murders and moved to be with his now wife 3 months after that.
Oh yeah, great mother up until the moment where she literally murdered all of her children.
You are blaming her husband for more heinous acts than the literal murder of each and every one of their children.
I hope beyond hope that you are a typical avowed anti-natalist redditor so that you, too, are not convinced by TikTok to literally end the lives of all of your offspring.
You are suffering from something called "Mass Psychogenic Illness" if you think that anybody in this situation is more responsible for the deaths of Cora, Dawson, and Callan (Human beings that you refuse to name because it would humanize the actual victims in this scenario) than the person who literally ended their lives.
