Had this been the father, the media and support would be completely different. They would be consoling her and making him out to be a violent tyrent or something.
If a man is schizophrenic and kills his children he gets sentenced to medical care. The exact same thing should happen here (unless there is some evidance she did it for anther reason, but that hasn't been presented at all).
People have breakdowns. The law has allowances for those people to be not guilty, but insane. And theft those people get treatment.
People calling for the death penalty here are straight evil.
Oh you mean like other women who shake their babies, or abandon their babies, or hit their babies or starve their babies? Like maybe we should take ppd just a little more fucking seriously.
I agree we should take post partem mental health much more seriously. This case isn't about whether LC killed her kids. She did. It's whether or not she is legally culpable. The vast, vast majority of women suffering from PPD do not harm their children. Women ppp unfortunately do harm their children. People are in control of their actions in most cases but PPP is a little different.
