Dad Patrick Clancy runs the Boston Marathon after his wife allegedly strangled all three of his kids to death. Clancy ran the marathon to raise $75,000 for the hospital that treated his kids. "They had short lives, but they had good lives. I love my kids, they're wonderful people," he said. The children's mother, Lindsay Clancy is accused of strangling her own children, 5, 3 and a baby, to death. After harming the kids, Lindsay cut her wrists and jumped out of a bedroom window. She survived but is now paralyzed and facing murder charges. Lindsay reportedly suffered from "postpartum psychosis." "In the short time there were here, my kids brought me so much joy and couldn't have made their dad prouder," Patrick's donation page said. "In many ways, I'm just trying to be more like them. Their passion in life was infectious." "With Cora, Dawson, and Callan in spirit, see you at the finish line."
@CollinRugg Oh, my. I cannot imagine that depth of pain. God bless him and pray for his future. Mental health issues are on the rise. Good for him and the way he is supported by the community.
@atensnut America needs to have a conversation about the amount of drugs people are prescribed. Investigators found diazepam, amitriptyline and trazodone (antidepressants) at the scene.
@CollinRugg @atensnut you mean things she may not have been taking and which could’ve been prescribed to combat her postpartum depression/psychosis? usually these things largely help with PPD/PPP and psychosis can cause people to not take their medications, making them worse.
@endofanerajc @CollinRugg @atensnut Drugs are bad, especially the prescribed kind.
@endofanerajc @CollinRugg @atensnut In MANY instances, these make conditions much worse. Especially in post-partum circumstances.
@endofanerajc @CollinRugg @atensnut Prescription psych meds are tested less than vaccines. They are the problem.
@endofanerajc @CollinRugg @atensnut She was over medicated. They switched drugs on her constantly, not weaning off one med before starting her on new meds. Her bloodwork showed a small pharmacy in her system. Lindsey Clancy was a highly respected and loved nurse.
@endofanerajc @CollinRugg @atensnut To everyone saying “the drugs are helpful” I would love to see some data on that… legit outcome data. I bet that accurate data analysis does not exist to back up these claims.
@endofanerajc @CollinRugg @atensnut I was about to say the same thing. Those medications would have been helpful to her if taken properly unless they had adverse effect and not reported to doc. Post Partum shit is real people. Everyone is different. So sad.
@endofanerajc @CollinRugg @atensnut You fail to realize this “in your American food and health system, they give you more chemically modified foods from the farms and factories, gets you more sick, big pharma gives you medications that trigger another disease/sickness, the cycle continues ✌🏿
@endofanerajc @CollinRugg @atensnut Yah we don’t even know what she was taking and she had a serious case of psychosis which can occur after child birth. I agree we can’t blame the drugs.
@endofanerajc @CollinRugg @atensnut Exactly. Drugs are important and shouldn’t be dismissed as having led to her actions.
