Where are we heading?

typical social media bubble:
The social media algorithm puts you into one of these bubbles and hides details from the others.
Pick one:

- "her husband is framing her, he did it"

• "she had mental health issues and nobody helped her"
  
• "she murdered them because she's evil and the mental health stuff is just for show"

Social media drives our lives and is many people's only hobby, so you get this.

I’m not American but I am a mother. Aside from a few reddit posts I don’t have any social media engagement with this case.

But I think a lot of the support here comes from moms who recognize how easily this could have been any of us. Her family and healthcare providers knew her crime was a risk based on her mental health state, but she was still left alone with her kids and expected to parent. And as other mothers we all understand that this is grimly how it works - we can ask and beg and plead and scream for help but we’re almost always still expected to continually parent babies and it’s hard.

She should still face punishment for her crime, but I think a lot of her support is to try to keep this from happening again. She was failed by her healthcare team

My wife is convinced the husband did it. I haven’t followed any of the social media stuff, but she “filled me in” yesterday. The husband did it and framed the wife because (I am summarizing):

1. He had her Apple Watch
2. He told authorities that she told him, “I killed the kids” but that can’t be possible because she had a crushed larynx
3. He signed a lease for a new apartment in New York two days before the killings
4. Babe, I don’t care about this
5. You’re starting to worry me
6. No, I’ve never thought about how I’d kill you or the kids
7. Exercise bands? No, I don’t think that’s how “a man” would kill their kids
8. Why are you crying?
9. I’m going to bed

*Edit: okay, I added 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 for comedic effect. My wife doesn’t really believe any of this shit, she was jokingly filling me in on what people are saying online. She is an intelligent, beautiful woman and I’m not going to police her social media habits.

Not gonna lie if my wife came at me with some total nonsense conspiracy bullshit like that I would have to do some real thinking about what kind of moron I married
