5. According to neighbors who posted on FB, it was postpartum psychosis. She was being treated, but it wasn't enough.

To those of you who know nothing about the mom involved, she was funny and sweet. She was caring and kind. Her 4 children were young and she had the youngest 2 very close together. I've read from people who knew her better than me that she struggled with post-partum depression. She did seek help. It wasn't enough. Mental health resources are seriously lacking. I'm wishing I had checked on her. I'm not making excuses, but I am asking people to focus on what's most important which is to pray for the dad and for the daughter who is fighting for her life and donate to the to funeral expenses if you can. ~Briana Barker
