The medical community is failing or failing to prioritize appropriately. I have been dealing with same for my son at Boston Children’s. (My 7 year old stopped eating). It’s ridiculous, but they let non medical people make the important decisions. My heart breaks for everyone, this could have been avoided and unfortunately an event like this won’t shine a light on how the system failed her and ultimately her family. All the talk about mental health being so important is just lip service unfortunately.

I pass the house twice daily as it’s near my sons school, my heart breaks over and over for all of them.

I watched it, that was heart wrenching. The terrible loss of the kids, a woman who was clearly out of her mind and obviously remorseful, which is what sticks with you. So much lip service is paid to mental health, so little is actually put in to treating it. Tragedies like these can be if at least not prevented then mitigated.

I can imagine it’s a challenging topic to put it mildly.

Exactly this.
