I have lived with mental health disorders. In myself and in others.
With that context, I would not be opposed to this woman being sterilized and mandated into a facility for the rest of her years. She clearly had issues before what could be PPP. I want her to receive counseling and treatment, not only for her illness but in her inevitable grief. I can't imagine NOT wanting to commit suicide in her situation. I'd do it in a second.
However, she can receive that treatment under constant inhouse supervision. I don't believe she should ever again be free. I support the DP, but not in this case. I can't bring myself to think she should ever be able to interact with anyone without LE/DR controls, though.
I find the 911 call heartwrenching, because it's clear that both she and the sister knew things weren't right beforehand. Why, why, why did the sister give that baby back to her after she confessed she was hearing voices? Does love trump sense? I can't say what I would have done, but it's so clear this woman was not well and after receiving a diagnosis I just can't fathom this being allowed to happen.
People seem to be all for testing after birth, etc, but the testing didn't do a heck of a lot of good in this case. She had a diagnosis and they sent her into an environment where they were very obviously unequipped to deal. You don't want to take babies away on 'what-ifs' yet there should be nurses present or a baby bodyguard. I know I'd want that for myself and my baby.
