Mom Drives 3 Kids Into Hudson River: MyFoxNY.com
NEWBURGH, N.Y. — A woman who had just been involved in a domestic dispute loaded her four children into a minivan Tuesday night before letting one out and driving the rest of them into the Hudson River, firefighters said. The woman and three young children, ages 5, 2 and 11 months, were killed.
The 10-year-old boy who had been let out of the minivan ran to a nearby fire station and alerted firefighters, Chief Michael Vatter said. The boy told firefighters his mother had driven off a boat ramp in Newburgh, about 60 miles north of New York City, and into the murky water of the river, which runs between New York and New Jersey, Vatter said.
Firefighters and police officers responded with boats. Divers searched for the minivan for about an hour before finding it submerged in 10 feet of water about 25 yards offshore. They used a heavy-duty tow truck to pull it up the boat ramp and onto land.
Everyone inside was dead, Vatter said.
The woman lived about six blocks from where she and her children perished, he said.
The domestic altercation occurred about 10 minutes before the woman drove into the river, said Vatter, who didn’t have any more information on it.
As a close friend of the family: Ms. Lashanda, had a very hard time letting go of her ex-boyfriend whom is the father of 2 or possibly 3 of her children. The young man have decided to go on his separate way and move on with his life without Ms. Lashanda. He is a good father to all of the children even the one that are not his biological children. He has never physically or emotionally abused Ms. Lashanda in anyway. Ms. Lashanda was very upset when she found out that her ex-boyfriend was seeing someone and this relationship was getting serious. Ms. Lashanda knew the only way she could hurt him, is to take the life of the children, because she knows how much he loves and cares for them. Even though they were not together, he was a very active father and was very present in the life of the children. Ms. Lashanda is a murderer, she is coward for taking her own life instead of facing the charges she could have face, please remember what she did is unforgettable and irrational. She plan the death of the kids for a long time, she posted stuffs on facebook, she is an evil person and she had made it cleared that no one will have her ex-boyfriend if she can’t have him…
