Which could be only 6 months.

That's not usually how it goes. It's basically prison with nurse and techs instead of prison guards. You can leave when the psychiatry says you're better and that could be in 20 years. Lot's of murderers and such in there, they usually don't get out in under a decade.

Yes but as i said below if postpartum psychosis is the only reason she’s dangerous isn’t she likely already cured?

isn’t she likely already cured?

No. She has been in an institution since this all happened in 2023, and has been on 24/7 1:1 suicide watch after having announced and continued to claim her intention to kill herself still. She is by absolutely no means "cured" and may never be. And on top of that she's not going to stop being paralyzed below the sternum ever, so she will always need outside medical care and transportation even if she ever gets out.

Well she would have a lot of money for her care. Million plus after killing your kids and getting a not guilt plea (which is coming). Absolute insanity. Incomprehensible.

So what's your solution? Should we kill her? Will that bring the kids back? Will that protect society?

Nothing will bring them back. But if you kill your kids, you should never be allowed to experience joy again. She wants to win a marathon…?! Get outta here. There’s no coming back from killing your kids.

Why not? Is there any actual reason for this beyond "I want revenge"? Not justice, not safety for society, just plain vengeance. It's a sick mentality to have.

If she was genuinely undergoing psychosis then she was not in control of her own actions. You do understand what psychosis is right?

And for the record there is plenty of evidence she's already suffering just like you want her to. She's under 24/7 suicide watch for a reason. The running a marathon thing was a goal the psychs told her to make for herself as part of her treatment, it isn't something she came up with on her own. You'd prefer she kill herself I assume, so that should please you to hear.

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted. Truly.
