It is my understanding that she contacted a doctor, a nurse and a crisis hotline on multiple occasions expressing concern for her deteriorating mental condition, at one point telling that nurse she was afraid "something terrible was going to happen" but answered no to "do you think you're going to hurt yourself or your children?"
So the question I would have for the woman who shortly thereafter murdered three children and jumped out a window paralyzing herself from the chest down: what kind of "something terrible" was she afraid of if not hurting herself or her children? Star Trek: Strange New Worlds getting renewed for another season?
We're talking about a woman who called the doctor back saying "I think these medications are making me worse" and made more than one call to a crisis hotline, and yet made no effective move to secure the safety of her children. I want some lesser conviction and sentence, something like involuntary manslaughter, time served, and bar her from unsupervised contact with minors. I want to hit the doctors and nurses and crisis hotline workers, and the insurance companies holding their leashes, a LOT harder.
If postpartum psychosis is so unpredictable, maybe women who have recently given birth shouldn't be allowed unsupervised access to minors before a thorough psych exam. Sounds like something we need to routinely screen for and provide services to prevent tragedies rather than dumping newborns on women with a "Probably don't twist its neck but lol you do you."
What the FUCK are we doing here?
