Pregnant Florida Mother of Three Drives Minivan into Ocean [View all]



Three children were rescued from the Atlantic ocean Tuesday off the coast of Daytona Beach in what can only be described in one of two ways. Either it is failed attempt by the children’s mother to drown the children and commit suicide at the same time, or, there was an medical emergency of some type that cause the mother to lose control of the vehicle and drive directly into the ocean.
One of the first men to get to the minivan Tim Tesseneer of Rutherford N.C, lends credence to this being an intentional act, as he says he heard the children screaming that their mother was trying to kill them.

“The two in the back seat was crying, with their arms out saying ‘Our mommy’s trying to kill us, please help,’” said Tesseneer.

Tesseneer also said that he say the woman make a hard turn going directly toward the ocean.
Taylor Quinn corroborates this story after witnessing the entire scenario play out from the balcony of her hotel room.

“My friend pointed out that there was a car getting really close to the beach and actually started driving on the water,” Quintin said. “I saw a kid in the back waiving his arms around screaming, ‘Help us! Help us!’ And the car kept going deeper.”
