Three children died after they were found unconscious early Monday at Brighton Boardwalk in Coney Island, New York, in a possible drowning.
Officers first received a call from the concerned family relative around 1:40 am Monday, and were told that the mother may have drowned the three children, NBC News reported. Authorities later visited a local apartment complex, where they encountered a man who claimed to be the children’s father and expressed similar concerns to the other family member, the outlet continued.
The mother was found on the boardwalk, barefoot and soaking wet, with some family but not her children, NBC News reported. Aviation units were called in to help the large-scale search operation and canvassing throughout the area, and the children were found unconscious on the shoreline around 4:45 am, according to the outlet.
Despite life-saving efforts, a three-month old baby girl, 4-year-old girl, and 7-year-old boy were pronounced dead at Coney Island Hospital at 5:38 am, the New York Post reported. Their mother has been taken in for questioning as she was not initially communicative with law enforcement, the outlet noted.

In a press conference early Monday morning, NYPD Chief of Department Kenneth Corey said that there was no evidence or prior neglect of the three children, according to CBS.
That's overly attached girlfriend, not the "mother" in question here.
Overly attached girlfriend was the subject of multiple memes a few years back and was funny a heck in one podcast.
Ummmm, is she available these days? She might be mrntsl enough for me...
Drugs with the usual consequent “bipolar disorder” in the family.

I think they couldn’t find her then couldn’t find the kids.
Horrible.
Mental health care is almost impossible to come by now because everything is tolerated and even the police are afraid to intervene (even in cases where somebody is waving a knife and threatening to kill a family member he has grabbed).
This is especially true if the disturbed person is black, even if the officers are black, so it results in black communities getting even less mental health care and police assistance.
That said, just a couple of days ago, we had a well-off white man here in Florida, living in a beautiful, huge home and holding a professional position, kill his wife and three elementary/middle school aged children and then kill himself.
I’m not sure he ever gave signs of mental illness, but the black woman obviously had.
Better mental health care all around!
And get rid of judges who totally ignore police concerns and send kids back time and again to abusive or obviously dangerous households, because I’m sure this woman has probably “had contact” with the authorities before.
She looks nice...
Did they make excuses for her also?
