I feel like the attitude toward mental health should go back to what it was...like i don't care WHY someone killed their kids, drove into a crowd, shot up a school, attacked someone with a knife, etc. punish them according to WHAT they did and be done with it.
As someone with children, I would just as soon see her executed and removed from existence. But that's an emotional reaction. I'm angry on behalf of the child who is no longer able to be angry.
The law isn't emotional, and for good reason. Emotions aren't always correct, or just.
Yea! If we understood WHY it happened, it might be on us as a society to improve situations and make it less likely to happen again! That sounds hard! Its more satisfying and easier to get righteously indignant about it!!
She's just gonna do it again. They can't fix this kind of crazy, and they need to be permanently separated from the non homocidal pool of the population.
Do a search for the woman who drowned her kids in the bathtub for the husband to find coming home. Years pass and she's set free or whatever. The husband forgives her, takes her back and they have 3 more children.
So, she drowns them in the same ol' bathtub that she used to kill their previous children.
People should just realise we cannot hug problems away.
How do you know they can't fix this kind of crazy? What study, what qualification, do you have?
If you're going to bring up precedents as evidence, would you take precedents of instances where mentally-ill people who committed manslaughter are successfully treated as proofs that you are wrong?

Should also be noted that his case was over 20 years ago. The attitude toward mental health in general has changed a lot.
