Why Are White Liberal Women Identifying With A Child Murderer?

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity News,

Three innocent children are dead. Their mother has admitted killing them. And yet a growing chorus of white liberal women on TikTok and beyond is racing to cast her as the real victim, pouring money into her family’s fundraiser and filming themselves relating to the confessed killer while cradling their own babies.

Lindsay Clancy strangled her three children – Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, then 8 months – with exercise bands in the basement of the family’s Duxbury, Massachusetts home on January 24, 2023. She then cut her wrists and neck and jumped from a second-story window, leaving herself paralyzed and wheelchair-bound.

Her defense does not dispute that she killed the children. Attorney Kevin Reddington has told the court she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and was not criminally responsible. Prosecutors maintain she acted intentionally, rationally, and with premeditation.

?? UPDATE — A GoFundMe linked to Lindsay Clancy has reached nearly $900,000 from over 27,000 contributors after she admitted murdering her three children.

The trial is ongoing in Plymouth Superior Court; the prosecution recently rested after calling more than 70 witnesses, and the defense is now presenting its case, including testimony from Clancy’s mother about her daughter’s mental decline and pleas for help.

Lindsay Clancy killed them. That is the central fact of this case.

None of that has stopped the online transformation of a triple child murder into a cause for certain women. Clancy’s parents, Mike and Paula Musgrove, have a GoFundMe that has rocketed past $900,000 – approaching $1M from more than 27,000 donors – with a $2 million goal.

The money is framed as covering the couple’s travel, lodging, and living costs after they relocated from Connecticut to stand by their daughter through the proceedings. Supportive comments on the page frequently emphasize her mental-health struggles more than the three dead children. Funds are earmarked for the parents’ ongoing costs during the trial.

Critics note that crowdfunding platforms have rules against funding criminal defense, and some have called for the campaign to be reported. Others see the outpouring as further evidence that large numbers of women are prioritizing gender solidarity over the basic reality that three children were murdered by their own mother.

That solidarity has spilled into TikTok in especially unsettling ways. Women have posted videos declaring Clancy the winner of a trial that is still underway, claiming she “proved” postpartum psychosis the moment she killed her children. The jury has not decided anything. The judge has not ruled on the central question of criminal responsibility. Yet creators speak as if the outcome is already settled in her favor.

TikTok feminists are already declaring Lindsay Clancy the winner of her murder trial… claiming she “proved” postpartum psychosis the moment she killed her 3 children.

The problem?

Others go further, insisting Clancy is actually innocent despite her own admissions, her lawyer’s opening statements, her husband’s 911 call in which he screamed that she had killed the kids, and the civil lawsuit she filed against her therapists that explicitly acknowledges she killed her own children.

Some have hung out windows or filmed themselves in performative displays to argue her innocence. One widely circulated reaction asked whether these women are bored, lonely, or simply completely detached from reality.

The pattern is familiar to observers of recent high-profile cases: a refusal to accept female accountability when the facts are inconvenient. As one commentator noted, it does not matter to this cohort that Clancy admitted the murders, just as it did not matter that Amber Heard admitted lying about abuse. The priority is that women not be held fully responsible.

It doesn’t matter to them that Lindsay Clancy admitted to murder.

Just like it doesn’t matter that Amber Heard admitted to lying about being abused and admitted to being the abuser.

Even more alarming are the videos in which mothers film themselves relating to Clancy while holding their own infants. Women have recorded themselves discussing identification with the child killer while cradling babies.

Bad enough to “relate” to a child killer. To do it while holding your baby is, to put it mildly, an alarming decision. pic.twitter.com/AyVCtxyBPQ

What does she mean “when I wished it would?”

This looks corny and performative and very “I’m a single mom” pic.twitter.com/KJoepzrsTT

Critics have called the decision to film such material with children an alarming one, with some arguing it should prompt child protective services involvement.

One single mother went further still, asserting that any man who believes Clancy should go to prison for murdering her children probably abuses his wife. She added that she is “just waiting for some man out there to prove to me that there are some good ones.”

The response was swift and withering: the women who claim to be searching for good men are often the same ones who date the worst of them, and the demand that men prove themselves by refusing to call a child killer a child killer is a particularly inverted form of accountability.

Clancy’s defense attorney admitted in opening statements that she killed her children. She has filed a lawsuit against her therapists that also admits the killings. Her husband testified about the night he discovered the bodies and about a later phone call in which she described hearing a man’s voice telling her that if she did not act she would lose her chance.

None of this has deterred the conspiracy theories that the husband somehow framed her, or the broader insistence that the medical system alone is to blame and that Clancy herself bears no criminal responsibility that should result in prison.

Mental illness is real. Postpartum psychosis is real and can be considered at sentencing. But it does not erase what happened. Three children are dead because their mother killed them. That is the central, undisputed fact of the case.

The spectacle of women identifying with the killer, fundraising for her parents at near-million-dollar levels, and filming themselves relating to her while holding their own kids reveals something deeper than sympathy for mental illness. It reveals a cultural refusal, concentrated among a particular demographic of women, to prioritize murdered children over a narrative of female victimhood.
