Neutral Summary
An opinion piece in the Daily Wire disputes claims that the U.S. is experiencing a surge in maternal filicide. The author argues that social media and legacy media are creating a 'fake' crisis by clustering recent reports and older cases together. While acknowledging the tragedy of high-profile cases like Lindsay Clancy, the article asserts that historical data shows filicide rates remain constant at roughly 450-500 cases annually, suggesting the perceived spike is a result of social media-driven perception rather than a statistical shift.
