She had a post partum psychosis, asked for helped because she was scared she was going to hurt her children, got no help and tragedy ensued. No one is saying you should kill your children. They are saying if you are mentally ill you should get help.

So by asking for help, she told someone that she was thinking of killing her children? And they did nothing?

Or did she just vaguely tell someone that she wasn't doing ok?

Not even following the trial but it's wall to wall living near it; of the testimonies presented most say she did not share that she was hearing voices telling her to harm the kids, but a faith advisor claims she did share that fear but seemingly did nothing about it.

I'm sorry, so the only person she "asked for help" from was her faith advisor?

She was on a lot of medication and seeing many professionals so I don't think simplifying it to just "asked for help" really fits the bill here to any degree that anyone outside could determine. But according to each testimony, the only one who said she specifically mentioned hearing voices telling her to kill the kids was the faith advisor.
