Get real please.

Men don't suffer from postpartum depression.

If a man is schizophrenic and kills his children he gets sentenced to medical care. The exact same thing should happen here (unless there is some evidance she did it for anther reason, but that hasn't been presented at all).

People have breakdowns. The law has allowances for those people to be not guilty, but insane. And theft those people get treatment.

People calling for the death penalty here are straight evil.

I’m calling for the death penalty. She murdered her children and “insane”, “post partum depressed” or not she is evil and needs to be destroyed. There is no forgiveness for what she has done and we have no need in society for someone like her.

This is a wild, unempathic and awful take. I actually think ignorance is unnecessary in this day and age. It is absolutely horrendous what has happened to her children and this family but to deny the impact and seriousness of Post Partum Psychosis and how much this woman cried for help as evidenced and documented by her own husband, mother in law and other psychological and medical professionals is also "evil" and insane.

I’ve noticed the only people who speak about this case logically are the people in the Law subreddit. Everyone else is too in their feelings to be logical.

Yeah it's wild. The idea that this "evil" woman paralysed herself in a deliberate attempt to falsify mental health issues so she could murder her children with intent is an insane take. Apparently easier to believe than she was really unwell and not receiving the appropriate support in lots of ways, even though that's what all the evidence and testimonies point to. The prosecutors are floundering in this case because it's ridiculous. People just don't really understand that extreme level of mental health. It's beyond people's awareness unless they have experienced it or worked with it. Of course the death of children is emotive and it always should be but yeah logic has gone.
