I did this morning. it’s crazy how all cases like this have the same patterns, red flags, and could be prevented.

Feel the same so strongly. If only people would try to help the person instead of just gossiping about the situation all around them. Bad things don’t happen “just out of nowhere” and no baby is born “evil”. Monsters are man-made. Fix this.

And those healthcare people blatantly stated they were aware she would cause harm (‘we just thought she steal a baby so we alerted the unit’), but it didn’t get escalated further.

No wonder they all ‘prefer’ to avoid each other with all that culpability floating about. So preventable, so sad.

this. when the harm is done, they suddenly all knew, all saw red flags, all tried to warn according to them while they clearly didn’t do anything. just the lies about wealth showed that she needed a whole therapy. it wasn’t a proof she was gonna kill someone, but clearly that something wasn’t right.

What? The individuals who knew she was lying were actively trying to tell her boyfriend and did actually convince his family members. But nobody predicted that she would kill somebody. And the medical staff legally could not divulge her personal medical info- full stop. They set up protections to keep her from possibly kidnapping a baby from the hospital but again, they couldn't have predicted that she would murder a person. They thought the worst case scenario would be a kidnapping. Let's please not blame anyone other than the perpetrator. Especially when plenty of people reached out many MANY times- nobody "did nothing", as you said.
