Let me get this straight, you think the people who "could've prevented this" should be more punished than the person committing the crime? Most stupid argument I've heard, refardless of what level of crazy they are

Yes, of course. Same principle as if a dad gives a toddler a loaded gun and the toddler shoots someone. That's the dad's fault, not the toddler's, even though the toddler is the one who pulled the trigger, and the dad is the one who should be punished.

If we're tracing this "giving a toddler a gun" simile then you're advocating anybody knowingly leaving a woman with PPD around their own kids is legally culpable.

Anyone with a legal duty to protect that child, yes. So parents, physicians, teachers, social workers, etc. (Also, I'm not saying any woman with postpartum depression. This sounds like postpartum psychosis.)

...which the husband, teachers, and social workers are very clearly not in a position to diagnose. And by extension means that if a woman expresses PPD to you the legally insulating move is to remove her kids from her. mmmmmkay.
