Illinois mom Corie Walsh detained after alleged 2-year-old's death as grief psychosis cited and Clancy chatter noted

TL;DR Summary
An Illinois mother, Corie Walsh, 40, was ordered detained after prosecutors say she hanged her 2-year-old son Barrett in the basement; a neighbor pulled the child down and CPR was performed but he died, while an eight-month-old infant was left unsupervised at the home. Walsh allegedly told police the boy was the devil and the anti-Christ. Her lawyers say she was experiencing a grief-related psychotic disorder at the time and is not a Lindsay Clancy copycat, though prosecutors say she discussed Clancy with friends before the incident; Walsh can receive treatment while detained.
