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

or expected to maintain the role of primary caregiver for 3 young children

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.
