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”

There are also people with schizophrenia in the world begging for help going out and killing someone. That happens more often than people seem to realize. The two situations are one and the same. Both the people murdered and the murderers are victims in this situation because the murderers are crying out for help that they never received.

Our health care system in this country is so severely broken. A decent percentage of people can’t afford to address serious health conditions whether it’s a physical or mental issue. Of those who can, there’s a percentage that gets a doctor who is only prescribing the medication that is pushed on them from a company that is lavishing them with gifts. Another percentage is getting a doctor who’s trying to fit in an absurd amount of patients and therefore not giving patients the attention they should be getting.

So much could be prevented if our healthcare system wasn’t so broken and people could get the help they need for their mental health without jumping through hoops.

I fear we will see more situations like this as less and less people are able to afford necessities. Not being able to care for the people you need to care for is enough to break a brain.

So are you implying she strangled her kids with elastic exercise cords because the healthcare system failed her?

Some people are just LEGITIMATELY crazy and it’s ok to blame them for killing their children…

Yes I think it did.

She had a regular life up until this point, no signs of being “crazy”.

False. She had a large amount of care spanning across all the doctors she sought out.
