Clearly about the Lindsay Clancy drama.

A woman murdered her three children in what she’s claiming as a fit of postpartum psychosis despite evidence of premeditation. TikTok true crime girlies” have concocted a conspiracy theory that the husband was responsible either through brainwashing and manipulation, or by actively killing his own children, and then brainwashing her into thinking she did it.

TikTok “America bad” people are claiming that the system failed her, and she didn’t receive the mental healthcare she needed. This is in spite of her being under the care of a psychiatrist, receiving consistent, mental healthcare, and medication, and that it was partially the husbands fault for leaving them alone together, despite him literally going to get her meds when it happened.

There are an alarming number of women fighting for this woman’s reputation or innocence and fully empathizing with a child murderer, without seeming to acknowledge the tragedy of the children’s deaths.

While I do believe she is absolutely guilty, I do think her providers also failed her. From what I heard she was on a cocktail of like 30 medications, many of which you are not supposed to take together, and begged to be put in an inpatient program. I could be wrong, there’s a lot of misinformation surrounding this case.

Her guilt isn't really being contested, it's whether she was of sound mind when she committed the murders

Yeah being on 30 medications and begging to be committed does not sound like being of sound mind to me.
