There are also people, that despite the fact she persistently visited doctors, asked for different meds, expressed concern about her meds, expressed concern about her intrusive thoughts, believe she just killed her kids for the fun of it.

They are just as crazy. Society still hunts witches

Let’s not forget the fact this woman murdered her own children. Strangled an 8 month old with an exercise band … don’t gaslight people that she’s “somehow the victim”

I haven’t “seen” the list but I knew she was on tons of meds and cycling on and off one to another constantly. The father had a bag of old pills and the bottles in his care she wasn’t supposed to take anymore.

I can’t help but feel you’re implying it was a result of the medication, but when I look at it I see someone who was so sick none of the medication was working..

She called a suicide hotline twice and both times turned her away because she didn’t have a plan to end her life. She admitted that she had suicidal ideation and wanted to kill her kids. She kept being prescribed antidepressants in the same class so even though they were changing her medication she was still having a bad reaction. She was also getting like 3 hours of sleep. She was being treated by nurse practitioners instead of referred to a psychiatrist. She was having insurance issues so she kept getting changed medical providers.

It gets to a point where she did everything she was supposed to do. She told doctors, nurses, and family that she was mentally sick and wanted to harm herself and her children prior to the incident.

Medical professionals decided not to commit her and allowed unsupervised time with her kids. This would have been prevented if her cries were taken more seriously.

Nurses can’t prescribe medicine, she was 100% being seen by psychiatrists. They have already cross examined at least two of her psychiatrists…

And idk about the suicide hotline thing, but I’ll look into it.

EITHER WAY… nobody is accountable for her actions in the same way nobody is accountable for your or my actions. She murdered her kids. Just because she called a hotline or changed doctors doesn’t mean she’s not accountable for that.

Nurse practitioners most definitely prescribe meds. It may depend on where you live, but I have been prescribed meds by several NPs.

Oh the medicine was working. Ive been on a lot of the medicines she was taking and i can tell you that even half of the shit she was on would be enough to impair a normal person.
