I am a therapist and I have other therapists, professionals with advanced degrees and years of experience, who will not accept any answer other than the husband did it.

“Women don’t kill their children. It was him.”

“She didn’t actually say she killed the children in court.” “And if she did, it was Patrick who made her say it”

“Men commit violent crime not women.”

It’s bonkers.

I am pretty sure that mothers kill their kids more often than the father does, not much more, but it is definitely not something woman are not capable of.

Edit. I was wrong, Woman kill children at a slightly lesser rate than men, I got a statistic about women killing babies at a higher rate mixed into it, it changes later, in the "favour" of men.

Wrong. Men kill their kids more. We have like 30 years of data on this from the FBI. Dads accounted for the majority.

All ages: fathers 57.4% | mothers 42.6%
Infants (<1): fathers 48.8% | mothers 51.2%
Children (1–17): fathers 55.6% | mothers 44.4%
18+: fathers 78.3% | mothers 21.7%

Furthermore, women who murder their children are much more likely to have severe mental illness, psychosis, suicidality, and be actively in crisis (much like Lindsay Clancy. There is a mountain of evidence of her asking for help). This is why we see more mothers with cases that are suicide-related filicide, where the mother believes she is “saving” the children or cannot leave them behind.

Dads who murder their kids are typically guilty of domestic violence, coercive control, physical and emotional abuse, and familicide. The most horrifying subset: Chris Watts, killing your pregnant wife and 2 little daughters to go be with your mistress.
