The article posted doesn't say any of this. Why was someone in full time outpatient care caring for the children at all?

The NYP is reporting that a local radio reporter states she was in IOP.

Reports said the husband briefly left to get takeout. Poor guy will live with that decision for the rest of his life. What a nightmare for him.

She was a very prolific facebook poster. Let that be a lesson to everyone that what you see on social media IS NOT REAL.

Local news is also reporting that she will be arraigned when she is "physically" ready to leave the hospital. I just keep thinking about her, alone in the hospital and perhaps more clear of mind. My heart breaks for the entire family.

I heard her jump from the house caused paralysis. I’m local and haven’t seen this reported.

Unless she dove headfirst that seems unlikely, looking at the house photos. Also haven't seen anything about the infant having passed away.

I have no idea who this Clancy person is, but Andrea Yates gets a lot of sympathy. Tons.

Really? I don't remember that being the case. I remember hearing that she was told not to not have more kids due to previous post partum depression. yet she still chose to have another child and it out her over the edge. I think she was judge pretty harshly for this.

It takes a man and women to make a baby. Her husband was fully aware of her condition yet decided he couldn't wear a condom or pull out to stop having more kids? Was she allowed to have an abortion if she wanted one? Why didnt he drive her to a clinic then? Why is the man always blameless?

Patriarchal fundamentalist religion.

I see it now, but no one was reporting it when the first pp said it.

Having PPA/PPD and intrusive thoughts was the scariest, most mind-bending experience of my life. It is unfortunately not hard to imagine someone with a more severe form being moved to uncontrollable extremes. I feel nothing but horrible sadness for all involved.

So then why did he leave the kids with her? She was on leave from work and in 5 days/week outpatient care. Did that not feel that serious to him?

He went to pick up takeout. He presumably had no idea anything would happen while he stepped out.

NP. I’m not going to judge this guy. Maybe he thought she was doing better. Maybe she claimed she wasn’t having any thoughts of harming herself or others. Maybe the kids were already in bed for the night and he didn’t think she’d interact with them. Maybe he’d been watching all of them like a hawk for months and just needed 20 minutes to himself. Maybe his wife asked for takeout and he was trying to make things as smooth for her as possible. I don’t know why he left them, but he’s a victim in this too. His children are all dead and his wife will be incarcerated/institutionalized. He may be contemplating suicide himself at this point.
