Expert: Filicide rare, untreated mental illness widespread
Original: Expert: Mothers killing children is rare, but untreated mental illness is not
An expert quoted by the Post and Courier says mothers killing their children is a rare phenomenon, but stresses that untreated mental illness is common. The remarks frame such tragic cases as exceptional while highlighting the broader, often neglected problem of mental health conditions going without treatment, and appear to be part of coverage examining the underlying causes of filicide.
Why now: The comment is likely circulating in the wake of a high-profile case of a mother harming her children, prompting debate about mental health care gaps.
