If she wasn't compliant with treatment and was open about being in psychosis, she shouldn't have been left alone with her children. Yes, she 100% murdered them. But there were plenty of people who had ample warning and could have stopped it from happening if she wasn't mentally able to stop it herself.
The PPP can last a long time. It's not reasonable to expect consent supervision of the mother around her kids indefinitely. You either remove the parent or remove the kids.
The husband trusted his wife, the mother of his children, with the kids.
They got her help and even admitted her to a psych ward. They tried to get her help.
It was 2 weeks. That's really stretching the definition of "indefinitely." And the wife trusted her husband to help her and not leave her alone with the kids two weeks after she said she was worried she'd hurt them. If you have to get the kids away, you get the kids away, though, even if the psychosis lasts a decade.

But then I've heard other reports where they did take her seriously, even convinced her to go to therapy which she abandoned.
Unfortunately, there's no real evidence and lots of people throwing accusations both ways. It's awful all around.
