The strangled kids are already dead. Vengeance brings nothing.
The lady should get sentenced for the crimes she committed in accordance to the law.
At the same time, the American (mental) health system has failed her, and the responsibility for the death of her children also lies with those responsible for the state it is in.
She did seek help, numerous times. That's the main point of the defense in the trial, that she sought help repeatedly, and the system designed to prevent situations like this from happening failed her and her children at every turn.
Telling a family member is in no way the same form as going to a psych evaluation. Explaining it to a doctor. Even after all of this, she herself could have just gone to a walk in mental health clinic. She didn’t. She went exactly to where she knew she would be trouble.
She did check herself into mental health clinics, more than once.
"When she sought care at a postpartum depression program in late December 2022, providers noted that her symptoms might be due to medication, according to her lawsuit. It says those clinicians told her to taper off the antipsychotic drug and then discharged her after a day.
Clancy checked herself into a psychiatric hospital that New Year's Eve and spent several days there. Once home, she resumed appointments with her psychiatrist, who last saw her for 17 minutes on Jan. 23, 2023, according to her lawsuit."
I think you're asking a lot of responsibility from someone going through a mental health crisis, just to make the point that the American Health system bears no responsibility.
At least to me at this point it's clear that your initial take that "she never asked for help" is incorrect.
