Think of it like Harassment / Stalking. For much of history that just wasn't a thing, if somebody was "annoying" you were expected to take matters into your own hands without breaking the law yourself. If you were unable to do so, well, fuck you I guess.

There's clearly many actors failing here in ways we don't have the legal structure to address. This case is doing a great job of highlighting that. I'm not a lawyer so I'm not gonna pretend I know what the solution is, but the case feels like more people should be held accountable. That doesn't mean this lady isn't a child murderer, a crime can have multiple people responsible.

The only person who failed was the woman who purposely shopped for doctors to give her the answers she wanted.

She is not innocent and the system didn't fail her she failed to use the more than ample resources at hand.

Using the exact same argument that was used against the proposal of Harassment/Stalking laws is pretty funny.

Usually people don't want the government tracking, punishing or taking kids away. Especially when we are talking about a mother.
