This is one of the rare instances where insanity is actualy the reason. Postpartum psychosis is real and should be talked about more.
Let me get this straight: God told her to cut off both her childs arms and then her own. Ever the good christian, she had no qualms about killing her child after being told so. However, afterwards she just kinda sat there until police arrived and didn’t even try to cut off her own arms?
Where was the father? Like who da FAQ left this savage with a child
The Wikipedia article said he beat her with a paddle in front of their other children the day before. And didn’t buy her anti-psychotic medications because their pastor believed all mental illness was demonic
I have no idea how bad the backlash was on either of those 2 outside what I read on the wiki page, but it seems like the father was halfway responsible for the outcome, yet he just had to have his sister live with them for a bit to regain his children? I have no idea how beating your wife would ever be ok for him to not lose his rights also. His decision making skills also suck…
Yes, bad all round I guess
Nope. Nope, no, not reading that. No.
Why is it always “god”? Why isn’t it ever “Satan told me to” or so other shit?
I wonder if people like that assume they’re “good” or “chosen” in some way to justify their behavior.
A. There are alleged Satanic murderers, especially during Satanic panics, but also thanks to tortured confessions.
B. Satan lets you make your own decisions. He also gets where you’re coming from, so he doesn’t judge you.
Why the fuck did I read that?! I need to reevaluate my life.
Why the hell do my links never show up when I post here? 🤔 I included the Wikipedia URL in the post, but it’s not there now. Extremely frustrating.
EDIT: I just figured it out. If you paste a URL (or rather, when I paste a URL in my particular browser on my particular PC), Lemmy doesn’t detect that text has been entered into the textbox and so treats it as blank, that is until you manually add/remove a character. Only when you see suggested thread titles appear do you know the URL has been detected and that you’re ready to post.
