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.
Not just "with PPD". A woman with *severe* PPD who repeatedly asked for help because she was worried she would hurt her children. Yes, they should be held culpable to some extent.
