A woman admitted to strangling her three children—ages five, three, and eight months—with an exercise band now faces online campaigns elevating her as a hero. Despite her criminal convictions, supporters have raised over $1,000,000 for her parents while actively organizing efforts to defend her actions.

Prominent figures including “Real Housewife of Beverly Hills” Lisa Rinna have publicly claimed Lindsay Clancy did not commit the murders, suggesting the husband was responsible or falsely portraying her as a victim. Others are drafting letters of encouragement and mobilizing at courtrooms to demonstrate solidarity with the child murderer.

Critics condemn this support as “Suicidal Empathy”—a phenomenon where women actively organize to elevate a perpetrator who deliberately killed their children. One contributor stated, “White progressive women are a cancer on society” and described the behavior as “a death wish for the whole society.” The term “Suicidal Empathy” has been labeled toxic by observers who argue it “will destroy America if not stopped.”

The campaign includes claims that licensed therapists and witchcraft groups support Clancy, with some alleging she engaged in fake self-harm to mask her actions. Critics emphasize the victims’ trauma: a five-year-old girl who fought for survival while being strangled, a three-year-old who dressed himself for the first time that day, and an eight-month-old infant who screamed until silence fell.

Supporters have been accused of sharing videos claiming Clancy’s children were killed by their husbands or that she is “more supportive” of the child killer than her own friends. One contributor concluded: “I think about little Cora… how she must have fought to live… How her little heart must have broken knowing it was her favorite person that was hurting her.”

The movement has drawn comparisons to a broader pattern, with critics asserting over 25% of women have committed similar acts through abortion. This perspective frames the current support as complicity in systemic harm, urging immediate action to “abolish abortion” and prevent further child sacrifice.
