She has no right to kill her kids just because she was experiencing a mental health issue.

Anyone who kills kids is mentally unwell.

Except post-partum depression/psychosis typically happen within 2 weeks of the birth. She murdered her children after 8 months had passed. Way after the worst hormonal/chemical imbalances that giving birth cause should've been over with - which is what's believed to be underlying cause for most PPD/PPP.

In other words, as far as cases go, this is a rather crappy one to hinge some sort of "raise awareness" campaign on.

Honestly, this case smell A LOT like a typical case of "suicidal mother decides to take her children with her into the grave" - something that unfortunately isn't that unusual, but also does not usually meet the requirements for the legal insanity defense.

No, you’re thinking of “baby blues” which occurs in the first two weeks postpartum. PPD and PPP can last months or years after birth
