“She was an incredible person and amazing mother.” -Attorney for Lindsay Clancy, the woman who admitted to killing her three children.
A court couldn’t find Clancy guilty of murder, which is truly disturbing. But can’t we all agree that she’s a worthless shit of a mother. She admitted to killing her kids. That ought to be enough for her to forever be described as, at the very least, tied for Worst Mother Ever. I don’t think not killing your kids is a bar too high to reach. Lindsay Clancy was not an amazing mother. That’s not how amazing is used.
