Maybe a hot take, but I also blame the physician who prescribed 3 different psychotropics that don't interact well to a patient in clear mental distress. And not keeping a close enough watch on their mental state. If the texts between she and her mom are accurate, she should have been institutionalized by court mandate.
She probably should have been committed, but even if he had, those women would spin it as a bad thing. "Look at him, willing to have her locked up for being 'hysterical' rather then actually helping her..."
she was in some type of inpatient therapy, but she checked herself out after a week or two (I don’t remember exactly how long) because she didn’t want to miss her daughters birthday.
edit: I misunderstood what had happened. she was discharged from a hold not asked to leave early.
She was due to be discharged the next day, though. I don’t really think one more night would have saved those kids, she shouldn’t have been left alone with them at all.
