Lindsay Clancy
She killed her three children.
This is really simple.
I don't think we need to hear from "expert" "psychologists" about how "complex" this is.
Kill the murdering bitch.
She committed murder, three times, to her own children, and so it should be done to her, just as she did it to her children, by strangulation. What is sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.
Enough with the psychology "this is complex" bullshit. It is really simple. She killed her own children. There is no excuse.
She deserves no sympathy or support.
Women who kill their children deserve no more sympathy than men who kill their children.

The missing support group:
In the 1980s I attended a Protestant church. There were three groups for adults: One for men, which consisted mainly of older men, one for women, consisting mainly of older women, and one co-ed group for young parents. Each group met weekly, the young parents group during Sunday School hour so their children would be taken care of while they met. In these groups sometimes the focus would be Bible study, but also people could talk about issues and any problems they were having, and ask for help if they needed it. In particular, in the young parents group, moms and dads could discuss issues that came up in child raising, from a Christian perspective. In addition to all that, Presbyterian churches have a formal, official, body, the Deacons, to assist people in the community, members or not, who need help.
Google Presbyterian Deacons to get an idea of what they do.
The point is, we didn't need a healthcare system to address many psychological issues, they could be addressed "in house."
I read that the Clancy's attended church, or Mass, only sporadically. I know next to nothing about what goes on in Catholic congregations, but could that have helped Lindsay solve her problems, helping her with the support she needed?
Another option for giving Mom a break from child watching, at least in my community, is the Mother's Day Out program. I wonder if there was one near Duxbury. Reading about Lindsay makes it sound that she felt stressed out.
Weren't there any day care programs near Duxbury?
On the other hand, there are reports that were Lindsay returne to work at MGH,, that MGH wanted her to work the night shift, which doesn't seem very accommodating to the needs of a mother of three preschool children, making it difficult to combine being the mother she wanted to be with working the night shift.

What Kevin Reddington has said about his client, Lindsay Clancy:
https://www.ctinsider.com/news/article/lindsay-clancy-murder-trial-analysis-22406507.php
"After Wednesday's [2026-08-26] proceedings Reddington told reporters that he "loved" Clancy and thought highly of her. "I love her," Reddington said. "She's just such a marvelous, sweet, innocent person. She's just amazing and so strong and trying so hard to get up from, she's been beat down for three-and-a-half years and she feels she's had a fair trial with the judge and the jury's been attentive and all we can do it hope for the best." "

Further thoughts:
Was too much expected of her?
To be a good mom to her kids, AND to earn an income to supplement that of her husband? Is this an impossible burden on any woman?
