I cannot escape this case whether I'm online or in real life like I was hanging out with my girlfriends like multiple different girlfriends mind you over the past couple days and this is all we could ever talk about like we are sat for this case
so those are regular cucumbers
And we're going to talk about why.
Like, why are women so captivated by this case? Literally, women all around the country are glued to their screens watching any and all updates surrounding this case.
Why are there so many women on the internet defending Lindsay Clancy?
Lindsay Clancy is a former labor and delivery nurse in Massachusetts, and in January of 2023, her three young children were found without life in the family's home in Duxbury.
She was indicted with their murders, meaning she was formally charged with their murders, and her defense is arguing that she was in the grip of postpartum psychosis and therefore not criminally responsible.
The prosecutors, however, they argued that she acted deliberately and actually they argued that number one, she did it and number two, she did it deliberately.
Her trial began in late July of 2026 and as of recording this, there is still no verdict.
This case has many online viewers ablaze with theories.
Everyone and their mother has a theory.
Like, the girlies are in FBI mode, okay? And this is the power of social media.
Because this case has been so big on social media, a TikTok creator who previously worked at McLean Hospital where Lindsay Clancy was treated has now been called as an expert witness for Lindsay Clancy's defense because of this one TikTok video that she published.

For a lot of women on social media, the facts are not facting.
The Lindsay Clancy case is not medically matching up to what we are being told.
That's another episode in and of itself.
I'm not going to speculate today on any of those things, any of the theories, any of the facts, anything that has to do specifically with this case.
But what is interesting to me, however, is that in the wake of this case, two topics are brought into the mainstream.
And those two topics are postpartum psychosis and failure to protect.
We're going to get into postpartum psychosis more in depth later.
but I want to introduce this topic called failure to protect.
And failure to protect is a real legal doctrine.
