[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lindsay Clancy is no better than Dahmer, or Nikolas Cruz, or any school shooter for that matter, she’s no better than any mom in history who killed their kids. She is in the club now. After she chose to strangle her kids with exercise bands and other horrific acts, she became a murderer. This wasn’t self defense. We have standards and rules in society, she is no longer one of us. [/quote]

But was she in control of her actions when she did it? Was she in her right mind? Or was she criminally insane?[/quote]
It may honestly be too late to determine that, it’s done now. She had no diagnosis of PPD or PPP despite being in inpatient psych a month prior, so I doubt she was psychotic. I think she held it together all day, and yes she lost control, but adults need to learn coping skills. She should have left her husband with the kids to pick up the food, or they could have all taken a ride, there were so many options to avoid this. She went berserk, it happens. Most people just have better coping skills. It’s a shame but she knew what she was doing. I do believe the meds were over the top and possibly contributed to her rage, but again we could say that about all murderers who take psych meds.[/quote]
