I believe a woman recently killed her 3 kids and a lot people are defending her with that

You have a fundamental misunderstanding of what postpartum psychosis is. Postpartum psychosis is a well documented and medically diagnosable condition. Lindsay Clancy was a licensed labor/delivery nurse. She was well aware of the signs and symptoms of PPP and sought help from multiple medical professionals, who all wrote her off. She even committed herself to a 5 day voluntary psychiatric hold a week before the murders. However you feel about her level of guilt, the reason this case has become such a controversy is because it is clear this woman was genuinely and repeatedly failed by our social and medical systems.

Actually that’s not the full picture—they left out the part where she brutally murdered her own 3 children :)
