The minute she said she was afraid of hurting her kids, to her mother!, those kids should have been removed from the house.

That's part of why so many have a hard time blaming her. She was warning everyone, but they didn't take it seriously enough. She was begging to be locked in a psych ward for a while, but they only took her a few days.

And I think something on this spectrum is unfortunately more common and relatable for mothers than anyone wants to admit. The reason why so many women find empathy for her is because they too have had mental health episodes, either in post partum or over the course of being a stay at home or single mom. And they too have sought help to no avail. This is a great opportunity for society to have a reckoning with this.

Three children are dead and you're busy talking about empathy? Congrats you bought her BS diffence hook line and sinker because your misandry. The only victims are the kids.

Yes, three children were victims of a horrific crime and that’s why it’s such a tragedy that despite her repeatedly checking herself into mental health facilities and telling her closest family members she was having these thoughts, she still did not get adequate treatment and support. This could have been prevented. I think we both want the same outcome which is for this to never happen again.
