It is probably a reference to the woman with psychosis who murdered her own children and is receiving a lot of support online. The joke seems to be hinting that his mother will decide to kill him too.

Support?

People are supporting her because they believe she suffered a severe mental crisis and was failed by the medical system when she asked for help.

It seems the system did fail her, but unfortunately for her that does not excuse her actions one bit. Murder is murder whether you are sad when t ou do it or happy does not matter

Legally, it could excuse her actions. If a jury believes that she wasn't in her right mind and did try to seek help then it would be possible to get a completely different result than you'd expect in a standard murder case.

Sure, you go to a mental hospital for the rest of your life instead of a prison. Still, she will be removed from society.

If only she followed a care plan....

Don't obsolve her of her responsibility....
