What happens

Baby Blues (also known as Cradle Will Fall) is a 2008 American psychological horror film co-directed by Lars Jacobson and Amar Kaleka, loosely based on the 2001 killings of five children by their mother Andrea Yates, although the film is set in the 1980s. It was filmed entirely in Savannah, Georgia by the company Neverending Light Productions. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
