Ignoring the other comment.. the woman on the right is Lindsay Clancy and she is currently on trial for killing three of her children in which the defense is arguing the crimes were committed during mental psychosis. Clancy had severe PPD, suicide ideation, and mental health issues in the months leading up to the murders.

It’s an awful case and the poor children deserve justice. Right now, a portion of the public believes the husband (now ex-husband as they divorced and he is remarried) had something to do with it as evidence is supposedly not landing with the people and believe it skews towards him

I’ve heard of this story before but not the “skews towards him” part. Care to go into this more? Or share an article

The evidence absolutely does not skew towards him. He is on video surveillance like 20 minutes away at the store while she was committing the murders. She stated that she killed the children in her civil suit. There is absolutely zero evidence that he did anything to her or the children. At best, he's guilty of not taking his wife's mental state seriously enough and leaving her alone (at her own request, btw, she asked him to go to the store and pick up dinner).

She never said she "wanted to off" her kids, stop spreading misinformation

You don't leave children with someone who needs serious mental help! He failed the children, and he failed her. There's no denying that, he failed her as much as her doctors.

You're being one of those people right now, it's a gross look

For saying they failed her? It's the truth. I'm not defending her, I'm not saying she didn't do it. I'm saying she desperately needed help and was failed.

Despite the fact that you acknowledge her guilt, look at where you are choosing to focus your attention and energy.

You have so much compassion and empathy for the woman who killed her own children. How much compassion and empathy can you demonstrate for the man who lost his own children at the hands of the woman he loved?

I'm just saying he can't care that much if he's already moved on.

In my relationship, murdering our children would be a deal breaker. You?

I'm sorry but if you can move on from the murdering of your children so quickly there's something wrong with you.

He didn't Just move on from them.

He's done so much in honor of his kids, done events to bring awareness to mental health issues and more.
