A 30-year-old mother of at least three children has not answered questions from police after three of her children died after drowning on a Coney Island beach in the early hours of Monday.
A boy, 7, and two girls, ages 4 and 3 months old, were found unconscious on the sand before 5 a.m. Efforts to revive them were unsuccessful, police said.
Police responded to a call at around 1:40 a.m. from a concerned relative who “indicated she was concerned that her family member may have harmed her three small children,” according to New York Police Chief of Department Kenneth Corey.
