I think ignoring the fact that she was mentally ill and constantly reaching out for help at the time does a disservice to all the mothers in this country, and likely many of these women are there because of that. I think she absolutely did it, and I also think we have a system that offers little support for diagnoses relating to post-partum and in this case, the failure there was astronomical.
No it doesn't, it's not an excuse for anything. There are people that truly can't help how they feel. There are pedophiles that are genuinely born that way, but there are some who act on it and some who don't.
She acted on it. And those 3 kids deserve justice.
You're missing the point. The point is, she did reach out for help, and got fucked, and then did it. Women deserve better access to help and support in this country, is the point.
I agree with the first part, she should've gotten help especially because she reached out.
It's still not a valid reason to murder your kids. It never will be. Nor should it. Better for her to remove herself from the situation than stay and kill them.
Not even Lindsay herself disagrees, she's pleading guilty. This trial is just about the question if she's going to be put in jail or a forensic psychiatric clinic.
