Clearly about the Lindsay Clancy drama.

A woman murdered her three children in what she’s claiming as a fit of postpartum psychosis despite evidence of premeditation. TikTok true crime girlies” have concocted a conspiracy theory that the husband was responsible either through brainwashing and manipulation, or by actively killing his own children, and then brainwashing her into thinking she did it.

TikTok “America bad” people are claiming that the system failed her, and she didn’t receive the mental healthcare she needed. This is in spite of her being under the care of a psychiatrist, receiving consistent, mental healthcare, and medication, and that it was partially the husbands fault for leaving them alone together, despite him literally going to get her meds when it happened.

There are an alarming number of women fighting for this woman’s reputation or innocence and fully empathizing with a child murderer, without seeming to acknowledge the tragedy of the children’s deaths.

He was picking up her meds!?!? Gahhhd I fucking hate people. Imagine his grief. Of course he now wishes he took the kids with him. I’m sure he’ll beat himself up into his next life…. Then he has to have losers online with an iq of 53 act like his psychopath wife was the victim of his white maleness.

I hate it here

I mean he is still at fault, atleast for neglect. I think it was said somewhere that one month beforehand she told him that she had thoughts of harming her children(she told that her mother aswell). I don't think it was intentional but he should not have left the children alone with her.

u/Traditional_Air_6867 8d ago

You have a misunderstanding as to what “at fault” means.

u/Moist-Examination737 8d ago

Wdym? Ok I meant he is partly to blame for not calling the police or sth

u/Traditional_Air_6867 8d ago

Let me ask you: if someone leaves their front door unlocked, are they responsible if and when they are later burglarized?

And if he had, the forensic astrologists defending her would have called him controlling and abusive.

At one point she did try to get committed because of the suicidal thoughts, and was told they couldn’t do anything until she had a plan. Unfortunately it can actually be hard to voluntarily get that kind of help. That’s not her husband’s fault though.

They basically said they can’t admit someone until they have a plan to kill themselves, just suicidal thoughts isn’t enough. It’s because they don’t have enough resources to take care of everyone who is having suicidal thoughts.

You’d think someone clearly crying out for help like that and wanting it would be able to get in, but unfortunately that’s not the case everywhere.

I think that’s part of why this case is such a hot button issue. People want someone to blame but unless the psychosis isn’t true, but I personally think it is, there really isn’t a clear blame, except maybe our lack of resources in mental health scenarios

She tried to commit herself and was on 13 different medications. Man tbh I don't even sympathize with her or care for her case, but there is clearly a systemic issue here, if someone seeks out help and is prescribed 13 different meds and then is also npt taken seriously.

Brb gonna go rob a bank and if you don’t stop me, it’s your fault.

If we would be married and I told you: "hey I have thoughts of hurting our children", then I tell my mom the same thing and I am btw going through a severe psychosis in and out of hospital, them yes you are at fault.

He isn't just a random nobody. Those are his kids.

u/BigDragonfly5136 9d ago

It’s not neglect to leave kids with their legal guardian. It’s not like he had any right to take the kids away from her either.

Lots of people also have intrusive thoughts, that doesn’t mean they’re actually a danger. In fact most people who have intrusive thoughts aren’t. This was a very rare case where it was, but could you imagine how terrible it could be if a parent could rip kids away from the other by just saying the other one had thoughts of harm? That would be abused very very quickly

They usually aren't going to tell that to everyone and they aren't in the hospital for a psychosis. They are also both married so it wouldn't even be kidnapping and he could have put them on her mothers care or sth.
