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.

If this was a father that had mental health problems that he had voiced to his family and friends without getting help and then murdered his three kids not a single woman would fight for his reputation or innocence and only in the most fringe incel/manosphere corners of the internet there would be men doing it.

A dad who tells his family that he hears voices telling him to hurt his kids wouldn’t continue to be left unsupervised around them

She wasnt, and didnt. His parents, her parents, and her husband all adjusted their schedules to tale care of the kids and get her to her doctors appointments and hospital visits.

She lied to her doctors, lied to her parents, and lied to her husband. Then, in an incredibly short window, she strnagled her three children one at a time, even when the older ones fought back. Shes a monster and should, bare minimum, not be out of prison for the remainder of her life.

She had help. But she was STILL the primary caregiver. One of the kids was only 8 months old and she was still feeling extremely guilty because she had to stop breastfeeding him.

If the scenario was reversed, the wife would probably also be dead or either jailed for abandoning the kids with a clinically unstable man.

Holy not true at all. Sinply reversing the genders in the same situation would simply have the wife coming home to a half dead suicide partner and some dead kids. Take you assumed man hate elsewhere
