@jaybronious Lied on CV, not qualified enough to examine PPD (only in children’s mh), blatantly lied and said Lindsay had a lifelong aversion of taking medication oh and he’s related to Park Dietz and co😂I’d hate to be him
Weeks of trial and here’s what the prosecutors have told us about Lindsay Clancy:
LC was a drug seeker but also didn’t take her meds.
She didn’t ask for help but she asked for help and had perfect care.
Her suicide attempt wasn’t real or maybe it was but she sucks at suicide.
She was a controlling mom who had to do everything but also so mad that a nanny wouldn’t do the work for her that she killed her kids.
You can only have a Mental Health disease if you see unicorns in the corner for a long period of time. Being able to drive to the doctor or do a Google search is solid evidence of strong mental health.
This is a modern day witch trial!
Prominent Roman Catholic influencers and some leading figures in the anti-abortion movement are behaving disgracefully over the Lindsay Clancy trial. They are mocking compassion for a severely mentally ill woman, dismissing illnesses they do not understand, and turning a family’s destruction into content. It is shameful.
I am a priest, not a lawyer. I am not deciding Massachusetts law or the verdict. I am speaking about the moral reality before us.
Cora, Dawson, and Callan are dead. Their mother killed them. Lindsay then tried to kill herself and is now paralyzed. Mental illness does not make the children’s deaths less real, and compassion must not turn Lindsay into a celebrity. This is a tragedy from every direction.
But more than one thing can be true. Lindsay was trying to get help. She went from provider to provider, reporting severe anxiety, depression, insomnia, intrusive thoughts, and thoughts of suicide. She contacted crisis services and entered a psychiatric hospital. Nineteen days after her discharge, her children were dead.
Prosecution witnesses described her as a loving and devoted mother. That does not erase what she did, but it destroys the caricature of a cold mother who simply wanted her children gone.
The testimony has exposed fragmented care. Providers did not always know what others knew, and records were not always available or requested. I am not saying every provider was uncaring or incompetent. But when a woman moves through this many offices, medications, and levels of psychiatric care, someone must see the whole picture. Taken together, the warning signs were everywhere.
Postpartum psychosis, postpartum depression, and bipolar disorder are real. Lindsay’s precise illness and mental condition when she killed her children are contested in court. The existence of these illnesses is not. A religious following does not make someone a psychiatrist.
Suffering people do not tell everyone the same things. Lindsay may have told her mother one part, her husband another, a clinician something else, and a chaplain what she could not say elsewhere. Anyone who has cared for suffering people should understand that.
We do not have to choose between grieving Cora, Dawson, and Callan and recognizing that their mother was severely ill. A movement claiming to defend vulnerable life should recognize that a mentally ill woman is also vulnerable. Compassion for Lindsay takes nothing from her children. Cruelty does nothing to honor them.
People on the margins have been central to my priestly service since 2008. Women in psychiatric crisis are among them.
I will not turn Lindsay into a hero or pretend three children were not killed by their mother. But neither will I join a public stoning led by influencers who mistake cruelty for moral clarity.
Three children should still be alive. We must ask what must change so another family does not reach the same horrifying end.
@RealAmVoice@DrCaroleMD@stinchfield1776 This is wrong reporting. Her mother stayed woth her several days and they had a great relationship. It’s on her husband when leaving her alone and dismissing her provider’s Bipolar diagnosis attempt
My girlfriend once told me something during an argument that stayed with me,
"When I tell you something hurt me, I'm not attacking you. I'm trusting you with a vulnerable part of me. The moment you start defending yourself instead of understanding me, the conversation stops being about the problem and starts being about your ego."
That hit me hard.
HOT TAKE: It’s funny how everyone's idea of heaven is a complete untouched paradise, crystal clear waters, lush green forests, enough food for everyone, classless, moneyless, stateless, a utopia of peace, unity and happiness. But here on earth it's considered a leftist ideology
It might be a good idea for males, who have no biological ability to undergo pregnancy themselves, to retain a bit of humility as to what that whole process can entail physiologically, mentally and so forth
One thing that has come from this tragic trial.
What I have personally seen on X
Is that there is still compassion in the world.
In such horrendous circumstances.
The majority of comments that I have seen on X but more importantly from my wonderful followers and friends.
The compassion and understanding. More importantly forgiveness. To recognise that Lindsay was so very ill. To show mercy.
We all know that justice has to be served.
Those three beautiful children will never be forgotten.
💖 Cora.
💙 Dawson.
💙Callan.
I pray Patrick finds peace. ❤️
Lindsay gets the help she needs. ❤️
For the people who can’t comprehend why some of us aren’t calling for the public execution of #LindsayClancy, let me explain it to you on a 5th grade reading level.
MULTIPLE things can be true at the exact same time:
We can find the murders of three innocent children, by their own mother, to be one of the most disturbing things we’ve ever heard.
We can also look at that mother’s life and see that she was trying her best to get help because she KNEW something was VERY wrong with her.
We can also still think she should be held responsible for her actions if the prosecution proves she did it without any reasonable doubt.
We can also still believe that EVEN IF someone is a confessed child murderer, that the person still has the right to a FAIR TRIAL.
We can also think all these things without ever once feeling like she should ever be free again.
We can feel sorry for the father for losing his children.
We can also listen to that father’s testimony and find that his words and actions don’t make any sense at all when talking about his deceased children.
We can also expect for that father to be held partially responsible for leaving his children at home alone with someone who recently told him they wanted to harm his children.
We can also look at the team of doctors treating the mother and critique their method of treatment and their lack of support.
We can also be mad at the whole situation because MANY people responsible for those three children ultimately failed them.
The world isn’t black and white. There is still a middle ground where you can look at Lindsay Clancy as guilty AND also admit that if only some of the other people involved had responded slightly different to the situation, those kids would still be alive today.

@EricMulhollan12@Thekatchandler Glad you asked, he was in Costa Rica hiking less than a month after losing his ENTIRE family. This should sum it up for you. Hope this helps.
@itskikidanger I don’t wish anyone harm but I want her to go through a period in future where she’ll see what overmedication and postpartum looks and feels like. Outrageous behaviour for a woman!
