The Lindsay Clancy Contagion Spreads: Queens Mom Kills Her Kindergartener

A 5-year-old about to start school is dead after her mother called 911 and said "I killed my daughter," in what some are calling yet another Lindsay Clancy copycat killing.

In a South Richmond Hill home in Queens, police found 5-year-old Fabiana Cabello unconscious, bleeding from her nose and mouth with a bruise on her temple. Her mother, 32-year-old Francis Cabello, had called 911 just before 7 p.m. on Wednesday, admitting to killing her own child.

Officers rushed Fabiana to Jamaica Hospital. She did not survive. Autopsy findings showed scrapes and broken blood vessels around her eyes, heart, and lungs consistent with asphyxia. Cabello was charged with second-degree murder and held without bail.

🚨 HORRIFIC: A 5-year-old girl in Queens was killed, and police say her own mother confessed to the crime. Little Fabiana was about to start kindergarten. Pure evil. Pray for this family and demand justice for this innocent sweet girl! 💔🙏🏻 https://t.co/mVNqoBVFwX — Ryan Fournier (@RyanAFournier) October 17, 2026

Her father told reporters she had psychological issues, had recently stopped taking medication, and had been hospitalized months earlier.

He said, "I was paying attention because she was already acting strange. I knew that she stopped taking the medication. ... She said the doctor authorized her to stop taking the medicine." He added, "We hope the judge takes into consideration her mental health."

This is the latest case in a documented cluster that accelerated with the trial of Lindsay Clancy who admits to having strangled her three children in Duxbury, Massachusetts, in January 2023.

At this point it seems to have become an epidemic of horror.

One X user who has been tracking local reports since the Clancy case listed 82 mothers who killed 123 of their own children, with 37 more attempts in which 52 children survived.

Since Lindsay Clancy: 82 mothers have killed 123 of their own children.
 37 MORE mothers tried. 52 children survived.
 These are just the ones that made the local news. 
Every time, the same excuse: Postpartum. Hormones. Psychosis.
 NO. Hormones are not a defense and the mothers are not the victims. The children are. 
 The moment we call the killer a victim, the children never get justice.
 Someone has to speak for them. So I will.

The update after the Queens death brought the tally to 83 mothers and 124 children. The numbers cover only cases that reached local news.

The recurring frame is identical: postpartum depression, hormones, psychosis, medication. The children are treated as collateral damage to the mother's crisis.

Clancy's own case remains unresolved. A jury deadlocked 11-1 in favor of finding her not criminally responsible after seven days of deliberations in early September.

The holdout, Michael Desronvil, has since given his first televised interview. He told Kayleigh McEnany he had no reasonable doubt, describing Clancy's actions as methodical and stating, "What I would like the world to know about me is that I do extremely care about people, especially children, because children are extremely innocent."

He has reported media swarming his home, including footage of people going through his mail and peering in windows. Other jurors have publicly described him as hostile and unwilling to apply the legal standard.

On October 1, Judge William Sullivan denied the defense motion for a required finding of not guilty, writing that the prosecution's evidence "was sufficient to satisfy any rational trier of fact beyond a reasonable doubt" on both the killings and criminal responsibility.

The next hearing is set for November 2, where the parties will address double-jeopardy arguments, a defense request for further inquiry into the holdout juror, and a possible retrial date.

Clancy's separate medical malpractice suit against Women & Infants Hospital of Rhode Island and other providers is also advancing; the hospital has filed responses raising comparative negligence and informed consent defenses.

The cultural response to Clancy has been the through-line. Women gathered outside the Plymouth courthouse in pink, holding signs and telling reporters they understood how she could have killed her children.

Online, mothers posted videos with their own infants under captions such as "Same, Lindsay." A GoFundMe for Clancy's parents raised more than a million dollars.

Conspiracy theories shifted blame onto her husband.

The holdout juror and his family faced harassment and stalking once his identity circulated. Supporters threatened the father of the children Clancy killed.

Commentators including Joe Rogan and Bill Maher publicly questioned why a woman who strangled three toddlers had fans.

An Illinois case involving Corie Walsh drew similar attention after she was charged with killing her 2-year-old son. Prosecutors noted she had been texting about the Clancy trial hours earlier.

Whether or not any single subsequent case is a direct imitation, the volume of mothers killing their children and the speed with which mental-health framing appears as the primary story both rose after Clancy's trial became a social-media event.

When the killer is immediately recast as the principal victim, the dead children disappear from the narrative.

Fabiana Cabello was five years old and preparing for kindergarten. Cora, Dawson, and Callan Clancy were five, three, and eight months. The pattern of treating the mothers as the story and the children as the symptom continues.

Justice for the dead requires rejecting the idea that hormones erase responsibility. The children are the victims. Someone still has to say so.

Not that it could happen, however Ms. Cabello probably would not want me on her jury.

Sickening numbers. Just very, very, late term abortions. How many babies died in the same time period in abortion abattoir?

Psych drugs are a problem

Abortion is an issue but until people realize that abortion is not the particular issue, it is actually the birth control mindset

The bonding of a mother toward her child is during pregnancy and before in anticipation weighing a marriage where she is married to a provider who wants a family

You mess with that and add birth control during marriage even and you screw with bonding. Lack of bonding is huge problem

Men can really help busy also re thinking birth control lifestyle. It appeals to and is convention the immature, feminized guy at least as much as

But the psych drugs are not looked at in these articles

People need to think and figure out the story

Oh Hell Yes (and I use that term correctly!) Clancy Contagion.

Demonic feminism. Both cases. One hundred percent.

Ann Coulter (a woman!!!) wrote, in her essay “Lindsay Clancy Democrats” (https://anncoulter.com/2026/09/03/lindsay-clancy-democrats/):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I guess the Lindsay Clancy trial has put an end to that whole thing about a woman being president. Clancy has become a feminist hero for slaughtering her three children, whose names, in case anyone cares, were Cora, 5, Dawson, 3, and Callan, 8 months.

For that brave response to “postpartum depression,” she’s attracted hundreds of female admirers, who stand petulantly outside the courthouse in pink T-shirts, demanding her acquittal.

When Muslims pull this crap, blaming their gang rapes on the trauma of being asylum seekers, we’re not as understanding. But when women claim mental anguish from giving birth, we’re supposed to treat it as if it’s a disease as real as cancer and blame the doctors for not dispensing a magic pill to cure the batty lady.

Whether Lindsay has postpartum psychosis, is bipolar or a witch, to quote another witch, “What difference, at this point, does it make?” She still twisted an exercise band around the neck of her 3-year-old, his little legs kicking, then strangled her 5-year-old daughter until she went limp, before proceeding to garrote her 8-month-old baby.

A woman’s work is never done!

The pink ladies seem to think that if enough of them say, That could have been me, everyone will shout in unison, LET THAT POOR WOMAN GO! as opposed to, No. Woman. President. Ever. Thus, the organizer of the pink ladies, Renee Kimball, said of Clancy, “Any one of us could be sitting in her chair.” Okay, fine. But then none of you should ever be sitting in a chair at the Resolute Desk.

They quit taking medication often because they’ve decided to self medicate with something else, usually from a dispensary and off the street.

Demonic feminism. That’s easy to come up with. It’s likely quite true. Care to describe me it? Where the term originated. The cause. The shmptoms.

Good God! Another Susan Smith/Clancy redux. Regardless of what happens, all these murderous witches need sterialization. They don’t deserve to have any more children after their murderous rampage of innocents, their own children. Then either freedom fry or life imprisonment.

Ann Coulter is so all over the place the Freepers find her so unreliable. I certainly do

I listen to her on her weekly chat with clay travis

She is all over the place.

LOL! In your garbled post, you described it adequately yourself. (If I understand correctly, you’re a woman, am I right? If not, you definitely show all the ‘shmptoms’ (rofl) of being such. Did I ‘describe me it’ adequately?)

But is she accurate in this instance? I find her to be. If you don’t, please refute her according to what she wrote.

Does that make it okay?

“A lot of people do” fentanyl as a recreational drug. Does that make it okay?
