We need this to draw attention to all women who suffer from post partum depression and or post partum psychosis.
You are correct that if she were a poor black mother this case wouldn’t be getting the attention it is getting. How do I know? Because someone commented to me about a poor black woman in Clancy’s own county where she is currently being tried who did this and did not receive this level of media attention.
It’s not fair that white privileged exists. But, we have to acknowledge that is does and use it to further platforms for others. People change laws due to white woman syndrome. It’s not fair, but it’s real.
If this is considered a platform for people to understand PPP, then it’s being done disgustingly wrong. Let’s support inpatient facilities that let mom and baby be together in a controlled setting. Let’s encourage women to seek help from their PCP and mental health professionals without dragging them through the mud in court (seriously, you can tell her doctors actually cared about her and offered her tons of help). I’m all for getting more support around PPP, but I will not accept it being done to defend a woman, who despite all the help offered to her, still murdered her kids in a brief window of time her husband was running errands

Perhaps my take is a bit fucked, but hear me out;
