As far as I remember, the issue with her insanity defense is not whether she'll go scot free or serve life in prison, but whether she'll serve out the rest of her life in prison or in a mental institution. If she ever were rehabilitated, I'm sure the loss of her family would be punishment enough.
Also, re: killing all 5 kids and chasing one around the house, she didn't do it just because she didn't like the kids. She killed them because she was convinced - CONVINCED - that she was evil, had irreparably damaged them, and the only way to save their immortal souls was to kill them while they were young and relatively innocent, before she had a chance to corrupt them further. She's plainly off her rocker, and if this doesn't count as insanity, then what the fuck does?!?
