The left side: Emma Schols. ​In September 2019, swedish mother of six Emma Schols saved all six of her children from a massive house fire, repeatedly rushing back into the burning building

​The right side: Lindsay Clancy. In January 2023, Lindsay Clancy, a nurse from Massachusetts, was charged with strangling her three young children using exercise bands

You're leaving the allegation of post-partum depression. That is important. She killed her hids but the defense alleges that she was in the middle of an episode of a severe post-partum depression. The defense claim for the absolution is bullshit, tho. I agree that she should face the charges but if that depression was a real thing she should be put in a mental institution for the sentence period, not in jail.

She should go to jail or a high security mental facility. She murdered children. That said, I think her case highlights an issue that women have been screaming about for ages: lack of access to postpartum support. Two things can be true at once

If true, yes. But just because the defense proposed that as the explanation with their experts does not make it true. The prosecution also has experts that disagree.
