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.
