Hundreds of women in pink stood outside a Massachusetts courthouse Thursday, cheering, waving, and declaring solidarity with a mother who strangled her three young children to death.
Yes, really.
They called it a “Stand in Peace.”
Lindsay Clancy has admitted killing her children. On January 24, 2023, she used exercise bands to strangle them in the basement of the family’s Duxbury home while her husband was out picking up food. She then cut her wrists and neck and jumped from a second-story window, leaving herself paralyzed.
Her defense does not dispute the acts. Attorney Kevin Reddington argues she suffered postpartum psychosis, heard command voices, and should not be held criminally responsible. Prosecutors maintain the killings were intentional and planned.
None of that stopped the pink-clad crowd. More than 400 people, overwhelmingly women, gathered outside Plymouth Superior Court for the “Stand in Peace for Lindsay.” Many arrived early. They lined the street, formed a circle, held a moment of silence, recited the Lord’s Prayer, and made heart shapes with their hands.
When Clancy’s transport or her attorney arrived, cheers erupted. Some waved. Videos captured the scene of women treating the arrival of an accused triple child killer like a celebrity moment.
Organizer Renee Kimball, who traveled from Maine, framed the gathering as support for a woman failed by the mental health system. “I think that every one of us women believe that it could be any one of us,” she said.
She added, “Any one of us who have dealt with mental health, anxiety, depression, postpartum — I think we just know that any one of us could be sitting in her chair.”
She further suggested that it should not have taken “the lives of Cora and Callan and Dawson and nearly Lindsay” for psychiatric doctors to listen to patients. Other women echoed the theme: the system failed her, women are dismissed when they seek help, and Clancy is not alone.

One supporter interviewed outside court put it more bluntly, saying “It could be me,” meaning it could have been her who murdered her own children.
Hundreds showed up and some gleefully cheered as the defendant drove by. The demonstration began with a late-night TikTok post and quickly expanded.
Similar events were planned across more than 18 states and even internationally in the UK, South Africa, and the Netherlands. Pro-Lindsay protests have been coordinated in two dozen states.
The jury was dismissed early Thursday after barely two hours of proceedings as the defense wound down its case. Closing arguments are expected soon.
Clancy has stipulated to key facts of the killings. Her own civil lawsuit against therapists acknowledges she killed the children. Her husband testified about discovering the bodies and later hearing her describe a voice that ordered the acts. Yet the pink crowd treated her as the primary victim.
This all started on social media, unsurprisingly. A large online female community, particularly on TikTok, has built a coordinated movement around Clancy. Participants film themselves declaring support, often using the track “Labour” as a soundtrack.
Some portray her not merely as mentally ill but as an almost certain victim of her husband, insisting he must be the real perpetrator despite her admissions and the evidence.
Women who identify as medical professionals have joined in. Mothers have filmed themselves relating to Clancy while cradling their own infants.
One widely shared reaction captured the inversion: the children’s lives appear almost incidental next to the need to protect a narrative of female victimhood.
White liberal women have rushed to cast the confessed killer as the real victim, pouring money into a GoFundMe for her parents that rocketed past $1M toward a $2 million goal. Comments focused heavily on her mental-health struggles.
Some creators declared her the winner of a trial still underway, claiming she “proved” postpartum psychosis the moment she killed her children. Others insisted on her innocence in the face of her own admissions.
The cultural refusal to prioritize three murdered children over a preferred story of female victimhood has been laid bare.
Postpartum psychosis is real. Mental illness can and should factor into questions of criminal responsibility and sentencing. That does not transform a mother who strangled her five-year-old, three-year-old, and eight-month-old into a symbol of solidarity. It does not justify cheering her arrival at court. It does not make the dead children secondary characters in someone else’s story about systemic failure.
The women in pink insisted God was working through them. They stood in silence for the woman who silenced her children forever. Three small bodies were found in a basement. Their mother has admitted what she did. And a growing cohort of women has decided the greater cause is standing with her.
The moral inversion is complete.
This is what happens when empathy is severed from accountability and ideology overrides the most basic human instinct to protect the innocent. The children are dead. The pink crowd celebrated the woman who killed them. There is no peaceful spin that makes that anything other than demented.
