Post partum depression and post partum psychosis are very real things and when people who have pps aren't receiving proper care, things like this can happen. When you read about Andrea Yates' full case, you find out that what happened with her children could've been prevented as well.

I read, and it said she was being checked on, so that tells me they knew she was sick. I know those are very real issues, but if they already knew she was sick, then why was she out of the hospital? If they would have kept her there and continued treatment, this wouldn't have happened.

Supposedly, in the 70s David Berkowitz said a dog told him to murder people. C'mon! Give me a break! Some people just really need to take responsibility for their own actions. Half the time, I honestly don't think anyone has told anyone to do anything, they just did it. What about the guy in Michigan who dismembered his wife and placed her body parts all over the place? I guess the devil told him to do it too. I understand she's sick, but why was she out of the hospital and in the presence of her baby?
