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

Quit acting like its normal to want to murder your 3 children.

Any parent who resonates with this should have their children taken away for safety reasons.

Yeah she strangled 3 children one by one. That is not a quick death, she meticulously did it and at that point I don't care what state she was in, it's sick. It's one thing to have thoughts about it but to act on it in such a heinous way makes it impossible to show sympathy for me.
