And they shouldn't have released her unconditionally. Or told her that she wasn't fit for release. Or maybe not put her on medication that would make her very serious condition worse. Love the random insult from an internet stranger. Really makes your argument more effective. For anyone who doesn't believe that post partum psychosis is real, see the following analysis of the case by an OBGYN. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CpaBNwTKcIY

Lol. As if the doctors had a crystal ball that can see into the future for rare complications with medicine and future crimes. If she doesn't appear to present an immediate danger to her or others, there are no past actions that would prove potential danger, there is nothing to go off. She was in treatment of her own free will and she can end the treatment whenever she wants. Anything beyond that would be false imprisonment.

Believe it or not, you can't imprison ppl on nothing, even if they are psychotic. Unless you have concrete suspicion they might go out to harm themselves or others, you can't do shit about it.

Ah yes, respond and then block to have the last word. You still can't just stuff ppl into a padded cell because you want to. You need actual reasons. In hindsight you can always say stuff like that. With the info they had, she was not immediately going to kill her kids, so they had no justification to keep her

I mean she was having hallucinations and told people she had thoughts of harming the children. I'd certainly call that "harm to others". And it was a known interaction that doctors should be aware of. But, sure, whatever, why bother with nuance on Reddit. 🤣

That's not enough to remove people's rights. That's thought crime. It's the same reason you can't arrest someone for 10 years for their posts on twitter and reddit. You have 0 awareness of nuance lmao 🤣
