>>>>Before you indict anyone, it might be a good idea to get the facts in the incident.
The facts in the incident are that she and her two young children were suppliants, begging a stranger for help during a desperate situation. The stranger rejected her plea, and her two young children died as a result.
Monday night during the storm, the Moore home lost power; Mrs. Moore and the boys set out for her sister’s house in Brooklyn, police said.
As she drove near the 400 block of Capodanno Boulevard, a few hundred feet from the raging ocean, a tidal surge blasted the Island’s East Shore and sent a wall of water toward the family’s SUV, police said.
After the SUV stalled and the water rapidly rose, Mrs. Moore desperately worked to free her children from their car seats.
She put the brothers on the roof, but then another large wave broke and washed away the vehicle, Kelly said. “She started looking for them herself, asking people to help her look.”
Mrs. Moore was stranded in the marsh for several hours, at one point clinging to a fence for her life.
Finally, about 8 a.m., she flagged down a cruiser and recounted her harrowing tale to the officer, police said.
