ates and her husband are ill
I wrote you before the trial of Andrea Yates who was to be tried for drowning her five children. You chose not to print it. Some things need repeating, so I’m writing again.
I feel you did wrong by not informing your readers of both sides. You printed only Mr. Clark’s opinion of the matter.
I have worked the postpartum ward and know of what I write. It’s an illness induced by pregnancy. Her husband impregnated her four times too many, and exacerbated her illness.
He knew she was sickened by multiple pregnancies. They both should have stood trial. It’s called abetting. He should have taken responsibility for the children’s safety and not left her alone all day with them.
She took care of all their needs and home schooled them along with the weight of her illness. That’s a full load for a sane person. The doctors she visited had medicated her for Postpartum Psychosis — that means she needed help, and nobody helped her.
I think both she and her husband are mentally ill, and need psychiatric help.
Sincerely,
