The San Francisco mother charged with killing her two daughters days before Christmas in their Bayview-Hunters Point home appeared to be struggling with her mental health after losing a son during childbirth months earlier, according to records obtained by The Chronicle.

San Francisco police arrested Paulesha Green-Pulliam last month after discovering the bodies of 5-year-old Justice and 1-year-old Paragon in the family’s walk-in closet. A box of keepsakes from their late brother had been placed on their chests — including a birth certificate, a handprint and footprints, and a pregnancy test, the new documents show. Sonogram photographs of the boy lay on the floor nearby.

I really hope that justice, in whatever form it may come, is served for this family. I can't even imagine what that justice would look like. I'm so glad I'm not in the position to make the decisions regarding this case. It has got to be incredibly hard. It sounds like this mother was struggling with serious mental health issues. It also sounds like those babies suffered horrible deaths. No one deserves any of this. We need better mental health care in this country and more support for post partum parents.

IMO, more post-partum mental health needs going unmet and more children dead as a result:

"Green-Pulliam’s boyfriend, who was the father of Justice and Paragon, told officers Green-Pulliam suffered from postpartum depression after grieving the death of their son in September, and had tried to kill herself.
However, Green-Pulliam “spontaneously stated that she killed her children,” Leung said on Thursday, in response to Talai’s questioning.
“Did she say why?” Talai said.
“She claimed because [they] were being sex-trafficked,” Leung said. She recalled Green-Pulliam saying, “‘I should have let that happen instead of take their life.”
