Andrea Yates' 25-year-old tragedy
Lindsay Clancy, a mother from Massachusetts, faces three murder charges for killing her three children in January 2023, with prosecutors alleging planned actions and her defense attributing the incident to postpartum psychosis.

Clancy’s case has sparked discussions about maternal mental health, systemic failures, and the societal understanding of postpartum conditions.
