Mafalda Castro was not indifferent to the story of Lindsay Clancy, an American woman who, at the age of 32, killed her three children and then tried to commit suicide.
The young woman, a professional nurse, suffered from postpartum depression and psychosis, and tried to ask for psychiatric help, and she was prescribed several medications that eventually worsened her condition.
This trial is having a great impact worldwide and has generated debates on mental health and the devaluation of women.
The presenter has followed the course of history and vented with the followers, referring that this whole case has made her think of how important it is to look at others more closely.
“How many invested are in this case? What do you think? The truth is that I think it is a case with so much attention precisely for the proximity and the theme that makes us think: postpartum depression, cries of help that no one hears and we are surrounded by people but alone at the same time. It's important to look aside with eyes to see, we never know what others are going through. It has made me think a lot about it the case of Lindsey Clancy”, said Mafalda, clarifying that he has followed the numerous conspiracy theories that point to her husband, Patrick Clancy as the culprit.
Read below the numerous conspiracy theories circulating on social networks.
The crime occurred on January 24, 2023, in Duxbury, Massachusetts. The nurse took advantage of the moment her husband left home to pick up dinner and medication for her eldest daughter. During that time Lindsay strangled her three children – five-year-old Cora, Dawson, three, and eight-month Callan – in the basement of her family home. Then he slit his wrists and neck and jumped off the second floor in an attempt to put an end to his own life and became paraplegic.
