I can't even imagine how those kids feel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-mom-drives-van-wkids-into-ocean-everyones-safe#post-1471458 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 21:06:58 +0000 Grace 1471458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh. I hope those kids can recover from that. Mental illness or not, how do you ever trust your mom again? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-mom-drives-van-wkids-into-ocean-everyones-safe#post-1471406 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 20:46:33 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1471406@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: wow! I couldn't handle hearing that. It makes me think she TOLD them she was going to kill them because they wouldn't think it happened on purpose. Kids that age would think it was an accident and would say "mommy help me" instead of screaming "help! My mom is trying to kill us." Ya know?</p> <p>So so sad:( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-mom-drives-van-wkids-into-ocean-everyones-safe#post-1471305 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 20:07:26 +0000 Mrs. Taco 1471305@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: A similar situation happened in my home town a few years ago. A mom drove her van into the Hudson River and unfortunately, three out of the four children drowned. I remember hearing about it at the time and being beyond upset. Now that I'm a mother, I just can't imagine. I hate that anyone gets to that place mentally that they feel the need to act in such a way :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-mom-drives-van-wkids-into-ocean-everyones-safe#post-1471093 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 18:58:12 +0000 Reese 1471093@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>heart breaking.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-mom-drives-van-wkids-into-ocean-everyones-safe#post-1471080 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 18:53:04 +0000 chopsuey 1471080@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>wow :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-mom-drives-van-wkids-into-ocean-everyones-safe#post-1471078 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 18:52:31 +0000 spaniellove 1471078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just saw it on the news too. So sad that the police talked to her just before this but did not intervene, and thank goodness those people were able to get the kids out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-mom-drives-van-wkids-into-ocean-everyones-safe#post-1471070 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 18:50:22 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1471070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just saw the video on the news and teared up big time. Thank God people were around to get those kids out. A mother is supposed to protect her children, not harm them. I hope she gets the help she needs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-mom-drives-van-wkids-into-ocean-everyones-safe#post-1470715 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 16:59:04 +0000 wonderstruck 1470715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh how awful, I'm so glad they're all (physically) okay. I really hope that mom gets the help she needs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-mom-drives-van-wkids-into-ocean-everyones-safe#post-1470710 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 16:58:01 +0000 Boogs 1470710@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No matter what the reason, I feel sad for the kids. The way they felt will probably forever be with them. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-mom-drives-van-wkids-into-ocean-everyones-safe#post-1470684 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 16:49:07 +0000 HLK208 1470684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:( this made me sick. Those poor kids... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-mom-drives-van-wkids-into-ocean-everyones-safe#post-1470676 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 16:46:26 +0000 mrsjazz 1470676@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@OpinionsLikeKittens: Yeah, the article says the Mom was incoherent. This is why I avoided the comment section--so many people misunderstand mental health and are quick to villify the mom--yes, obviously what she did was wrong &amp; horrible--but she needs help, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-mom-drives-van-wkids-into-ocean-everyones-safe#post-1470673 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 16:44:21 +0000 Crisark 1470673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh this made me instantly sick to my stomach.<br /> I have a 10 yr old and a 7 year old as well as the baby and I just. I just can't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-mom-drives-van-wkids-into-ocean-everyones-safe#post-1470671 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 16:44:12 +0000 reverie 1470671@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mental health issues are so often overlooked and ignored. This whole situation is terrible, but I have to believe that she is literally sick and that in her sane mind would never do this to her children. I hope they all recover. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-mom-drives-van-wkids-into-ocean-everyones-safe#post-1470665 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 16:40:59 +0000 swurlygurl 1470665@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: I know, I try, but I always hope to see a comment from someone that knows the situation better and has additional information. It's only happened like once, so I don't know why I keep looking :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-mom-drives-van-wkids-into-ocean-everyones-safe#post-1470660 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 16:39:35 +0000 mrsjazz 1470660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swurlygurl: I ignore comment sections now. If you read them you lose all faith in humanity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-mom-drives-van-wkids-into-ocean-everyones-safe#post-1470657 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 16:39:05 +0000 swurlygurl 1470657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is incredibly upsetting. </p> <p>The comments are pretty bad - I shouldn't have bothered. I really hope those kids are okay and not scarred from their mother (allegedly) trying to kill them. Can you even imagine the fear in those kids as the whole ordeal was happening?! ::shudder:: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-mom-drives-van-wkids-into-ocean-everyones-safe#post-1470645 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 16:36:26 +0000 luckypenny 1470645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This makes me very very sad :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pregnant-mom-drives-van-wkids-into-ocean-everyones-safe#post-1470633 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 16:32:43 +0000 mrsjazz 1470633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The good news is that they were rescued. But this is really sad! I think I would instantly bawl if I heard a child say, "My mommy is trying to kill us!"</p> <p><a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/05/mom-drives-van-in-ocean_n_4903057.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/03/05/mom-drives-van-in-ocean_n_4903057.html</a> </p>
