When Mothers Get Arrested for Mothering (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This past June, a Virginia mother named Karyann Parkinson took a bike ride with her 5-year-old son and stopped by a pond inside their gated community to collect goose feathers from the grass. The two of them rode back home, whereupon Parkinson’s son asked his mother if he could walk back to the pond by himself to fetch a few more feathers. Parkinson, who was eight months pregnant with her fifth child, studying for the bar exam, and—perhaps most pressing—making lunch, agreed. The walk was relativ
The Meaning of the Lindsay Clancy Mistrial (opens the original)
Read excerpt
During the five weeks of her murder trial, Lindsay Clancy, the Massachusetts mother accused of murdering her three young children in 2023, spoke barely a word. She has been on display for the entirety of her livestreamed trial, sitting in her wheelchair beside her lawyer at the defense table. At one point, when the prosecution walked the jury through the children’s autopsy reports, she hunched over, racked with sobs, crying out, “I can’t do this!” But mostly, Clancy has remained silent and wide-
Why Lindsay Clancy’s Insanity Defense Might Fail (opens the original)
Read excerpt
These are the facts that no one disputes: On January 24, 2023, Lindsay Clancy strangled her three young children to death, then she attempted suicide by cutting her wrists and neck and jumping out of a second-story window in her Massachusetts home, which left her paralyzed from the waist down.

Summer always overstays its welcome by about a month. After the Fourth of July, which has its charms, nothing but a stretch of relentless heat lies ahead, reaching toward Labor Day, and I begin to yearn for fall. So does the grand, semi-malevolent intelligence that organizes American consumption: By mid-August, grocery stores are stocking their shelves with autumnal goods—pumpkin-pie Pop-Tarts, cinnamon-maple Frosted Flakes, pumpkin-spice cinnamon rolls in pressurized cardboard tubes. As I strol
Sadism and a Blue Bunny (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Children are made for love. From the moment they are born, they rely on their caregivers for everything they need, and they need a great deal: warmth, nourishment, grooming, contact. Their lives depend on it. Caring for children often comes at the expense of a caregiver’s personal comfort, which is a trade-off best done out of love. For a time, newborn children do not realize that they are distinct from their parents, which is reasonable, given that they have not been for very long. But as they
