SC Woman Somehow Managed to Drive her Minivan w/3 Kids into the Ocean

usc90grad · 03-05-2014, 01:13 PM

Source – A South Carolina woman made waves Tuesday night when she inexplicably drove a minivan full of children straight into the ocean near Daytona Beach. Lifeguards rushed to pull the unidentified woman and her three children — ages 10, 9 and 3 — from the water as the minivan began to take on water.

The incoherent woman and her soaked kids were taken to a local hospital for precautionary reasons, but expected to survive. The shocking incident was captured by Canadian tourist Simon Besner, who documented the courageous lifeguards rushing into the water and plucking the four from the vehicle that appeared to be on the verge of being swept away into the deep blue. ”It was a bit terrifying,” Besner told WFTV. Investigators with the Volusia County Beach Safety Ocean Rescue are still trying to determine how the woman’s van took the dip into the ocean.

Probably a suicide attempt. Kids are in state custody.

Not again.

She wimped out, and left out an open window, but abandoned her kids. People rushed and saved 2 of them, the kids told them that there was a baby still in the car, they went back and saved it.

This is horrible.. If you have it bad enough that you want to take your life don't drag others with you. I feel sorry for those kids.

If she was trying to kill her kids, she should be executed.

She's not very smart. The tide and low water level of the ocean makes this almost impossible.

they should have buckled her down in the van and seen how long she lasted.

Amazing to me how shallow the ocean was where the car would float...I know it makes sense but just looks strange for something that big and heavy in the ocean so close to shore

What in the world is wrong with people

usc90grad · 03-05-2014, 02:53 PM

Read where one of the kids told police "mommy is trying to kill us". So apparently this b**ch told her kids what she was doing.

Possibly.

Or its also possible the child is reacting with emotion to the experience, and giving the police their emotional opinion on what just happened (meaning, they werent necessarily reiterating what the mother had said)

Same here if I ever went swimming :-))

Horrible story though

MisterClowney · 03-05-2014, 03:02 PM

Too bad it happened in Florida. No way she gets any kind of time for this.

BigOrangeCrush · 03-05-2014, 04:04 PM

What is it with women from South Carolina lately...good grief...I'm starting to get worried about my safety, since my wife was born here before she moved to TN where I met her...

This situation plus the woman who beat up her boyfriends WIFE when the wife interrupted their ANAL SEX...smh

This woman is from Cross, not far from where I live. Apparently, she has some mental issues and was stopped earlier in the day. The police officer said that "it was obvious she had a mental condition" but that she didn't fit the description for someone to be take in under FL's Baker Law, or something like that. Also, on Monday she went to some mental hospital to check herself in, but decided not to and left.

If she gets those kids back, you might as well sign a death warrant. There is no way that woman should be allowed to see those kids until they are 18.
