Fact Check: Parents Have NOT Gone Public To Complain About Child Deaths Under Lindsay Clancy's Nursing Care None Reported

Did parents go public to complain about child deaths under the nursing care of Lindsay Clancy? No, that's not true: There is no credible evidence that any parents have publicly complained about their children dying while under Clancy's care. As of Sept. 16, 2026, a review of news reports found no such complaints.

The claim appeared in a post (archived here) by the @keibenet account on X on Sept. 15, 2026. It read:

HOL' UP!!!
So Lindsay Clancy is a possible serial child killer from her nurse days? So multiple families came forward about how their infants' remains were missing and improperly disposed of? And the infant mortality rate went sky high at the hospital during her time there? WHAT?

This is what the post looked like on X at the time of writing:

Clancy is a Massachusetts woman accused of killing her three young children at their home in Duxbury in January 2023. Her defense argued that she was suffering from postpartum psychosis and was not criminally responsible for the deaths. Her five-week murder trial ended in a mistrial (archived here) on Sept. 4, 2026, after jurors could not reach a unanimous verdict.

News searches

Lead Stories searched Google News (archived here) and Yahoo News (archived here) and found no public reports matching the claim, using the terms "Lindsay Clancy," "parents," "deaths," and "nursing care."

The license verification site for the Massachusetts Office of Health and Human Services shows that Clancy voluntarily surrendered her registered nurse license (archived here) on March 7, 2024.

Lead Stories reached out to the Massachusetts Department of Public Health and the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Nursing to request additional details related to the claim. There was no immediate response.
