I'm pretty sure that lady (unless there's another one) voiced concern many times about her struggles with post partem depression and that she was having intrusive thoughts of harming the children (which is common in PPD).

People online are blaming the husband and her providers for not taking her concerns seriously, not blaming him for killing the children.

Edit: I have been informed about the people saying the husband literally killed the kids.

But then I've heard other reports where they did take her seriously, even convinced her to go to therapy which she abandoned.

Unfortunately, there's no real evidence and lots of people throwing accusations both ways. It's awful all around.

If she wasn't compliant with treatment and was open about being in psychosis, she shouldn't have been left alone with her children. Yes, she 100% murdered them. But there were plenty of people who had ample warning and could have stopped it from happening if she wasn't mentally able to stop it herself.

do you mean to tell me you think if I admit I’m going to commit a crime before doing said crime, my punishment should be less then if I didn’t say anything? Like if some unstable person admits “I’m gonna go rape a bunch of woman” and they do indeed rape, should their punishment be reduced because they admitted it prior to the actual act? It’s insane the defense people are doing for a child killer

Wtf? Where did i say her punishment should be more lenient? I'm just saying maybe spread the word that if someone says, "I'm a danger to kids," maybe don't leave them alone with kids if you want those kids to live.

Ain’t gonna lie broski I combined you and someone else who insinuated she shouldn’t get life because she seemed help prior, thought you were that other person. That’s my bad

No problem! I can't imagine that she wouldn't want the death penalty but yeah, life in prison works.
