The children\u2019s mother, Lindsay Clancy of Duxbury, Massachusetts (one of the most affluent areas in a very affluent, liberal, and very woke state), claimed to hear voices telling her to kill her children. She then slit her throat and her wrists, then attempted to jump to her death, only to survive, permanently handicapped.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/urbaneconomynews.com\/?p=2002\">A Tale of Three Cities<\/a><\/p>\n<p>At trial, prosecutors argued that she was in her right mind when she committed these atrocious crimes. The defense argued not guilty by reason of insanity.<\/p>\n<p>For months before the killings, Clancy had been suffering from postpartum psychosis, bipolar disorder, insomnia, intrusive thoughts, and suicidal ideation. She voluntarily committed herself to deal with these issues.<\/p>\n<p>Yet she was allowed to return home, to be with her kids, to be their mother.<\/p>\n<p>And she killed them.<\/p>\n<p>Their names were:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Cora Clancy (5 years old)<\/li>\n<li>Dawson Clancy (3 years old)<\/li>\n<li>Callan Clancy (8 months old)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>On the fateful day, Lindsay appeared normal and functional. She drove around to pick up another medication. She exchanged frequent texts with her husband. She sent her husband out on an errand purportedly so she could fulfill her plot against the kids. She strangled them to death with exercise bands.<\/p>\n<p>For all the different illnesses and diagnoses she has listed or complained about, none of them give the impression that they would lead her to hear voices and kill her children. Just looking at the prima facie evidence suggests that the jury should have locked her up for life\u2014and made sure to throw away the key (no death penalty, since it\u2019s uber-progressive Marx-achusetts).<\/p>\n<p>The jury deadlocked, 11\u20131. The one holdout, a black man, could not get past the fact that this mother murdered her three children, and it just wasn\u2019t right to let her walk away from guilt for this horrific crime. The jury deadlocked despite the defense attorneys\u2019 efforts to remove the one holdout. Prosecutors are preparing the next trial.<\/p>\n<p>In the public sphere, the discussion has not died down, now that the jurors have come forward to relate what happened. Of nine women and three men, 11 were ready to declare Clancy not guilty by reason of insanity. One juror said she was \u201cexcited\u201d to file the \u201cnot guilty\u201d paperwork.<\/p>\n<p>Sickening and horrific! How much longer will our society tolerate or accommodate mental illness as a catch-all excuse for crimes against children?<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of the three kids, will anyone protest for them? Say their names? Their own mother robbed these poor little innocents of their most precious possession. And the world wants to commiserate with Crazy Lindsay. This is vile. The hordes of liberal white Karens protesting outside of the courthouse wanted to celebrate the harridan who strangled her children.<\/p>\n<p>What is the world coming to?<\/p>\n<p>Massachusetts is not just another liberal enclave in the United States, in some cases worse than California. Woke white liberals dominate, and intimidated non-woke types pretend to be woke to keep their jobs or get elected. Even the Republicans are liberal, including the former \u201cRepublican\u201d governor, Charlie Baker, who celebrated abortion 100%, pushed the gay agenda with gusto, and palled around with the Democratic supermajority on Beacon Hill, signing off on legislation to allow confused men in women\u2019s spaces and allow those same creepy men to sue anyone who didn\u2019t let them go wherever they wanted to.<\/p>\n<p>The moral collapse that is Massachusetts plays an outsized role in this mess. The witches of Salem have gotten their revenge.<\/p>\n<p>What\u2019s worse, postpartum killer moms are nothing new.<\/p>\n<p>In 2001, Andrea Yates of Houston, Texas, drowned her five children. At trial, she claimed to be suffering from postpartum depression and therefore was not guilty by reason of insanity. The jury found her guilty. Upon appeal, the sentence was overturned due to false testimony from one of the psychiatric expert witnesses. At the second trial, Yates was found not guilty by reason of insanity and committed to a mental health institution, where she remains to this day.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/urbaneconomynews.com\/?p=2001\">Morning Greatness: SCOTUS Rejects Trump Bid to Revive Strict Mail-Ballot Rules Before Midterms<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This outcome was unjust then, and it would be unjust today.<\/p>\n<p>The argument that Clancy should face indefinite confinement in a mental institution versus prison or capital punishment is unconscionable. Lives matter. Children matter. Laws matter. Protecting those lives in the name of the rule of law must matter. A society that gives a pass or expects compassion for the adult who kills the children is a society that does not deserve to survive.<\/p>\n<p>A larger issue rears its uglier head, though.<\/p>\n<p>Following the Clancy case, the country is seeing more reports of women killing their children:<\/p>\n<p>Dimone Fleming of New York City: On August 28, 2026, a New York judge found this woman not guilty by reason of insanity for killing her children. In 2022, Fleming stabbed her two boys in a Bronx family shelter following a bout of postpartum depression.<\/p>\n<p>Andrea Faust of Durham, North Carolina: On February 12, 2026, Faust killed her 3-year-old son and attempted to kill her 2-year-old son. Three-year-old Percy died from the wounds, while her 23-month-old survived. This crazed mother is going to plead not guilty by reason of insanity.<\/p>\n<p>Corie Walsh of Frankfort, Illinois: This case is the most disturbing. On September 1, 2026, Walsh\u2014who had been following the Lindsay Clancy case closely\u2014killed her two-year-old son by hanging him from a rafter in the basement.<\/p>\n<p>She was watching the Clancy trial, with all the feminist harpies standing with Lindsay, and she decided to kill her kid.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s assume that with a not guilty verdict in the second trial, Lindsay Clancy gets institutionalized. Massachusetts has a radical leftist openly lesbian governor who just signed off on the most extreme abortion legislation in the country. \u201cFeminism and the children be damned\u201d is her ideological mantra. One could see this Salem Witch of a governor granting a pardon and a conditional release for creepy Clancy. The same unjust outcome could occur in Illinois (another left-wing governor with national aspirations (and waistline) who will pander to Planned Parenthood and NOW).<\/p>\n<p>North Carolina has a pro-criminal Dem governor, too!<\/p>\n<p>There needs to be justice, and there needs to be deterrence. At what point do we presume that these women are suffering some form of deep psychosis? Or is it something else?<\/p>\n<p>Women have been taught that they can make their demands, have their needs met, and not care about family or children. This heartless disregard has contributed to greater unhappiness for women.<\/p>\n<p>Women by nature are grumpy and prone to complain, just as men are prone to anger and violence. However, women are not being taught to curb their feminine defects. Men already face repeated calls to curb their sex drive or watch their violent tendencies. Now, it\u2019s gotten to the point that men (and society in general) cannot even confront women\u2019s increasingly toxic Karen-like behavior. In liberal jurisdictions, their abusive conduct is celebrated as a form of progress and a civil right.<\/p>\n<p>This is starting to look like toxic femininity.<\/p>\n<p>This female-coded, unhinged, yet increasingly normalized mental instability is becoming a deadly norm, and now women are killing their children, hoping to avoid prison or the death penalty because of \u201cmuh hormones.\u201d A few guilty verdicts would stop this madness and save lives.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/urbaneconomynews.com\/?p=1999\">It\u2019s Time to Revoke the Activist Teachers\u2019 Union\u2019s Federal Charter<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Lindsay Clancy case raises troubling questions about insanity defenses, postpartum psychosis, and whether society is failing to protect children from\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2003,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2004","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feminism"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
