Mom Drives Van With Three Kids In Daytona Beach Ocean

Daytona, FL (CNN)- Pregnant mom drives minivan in Daytona Beach ocean. Child yells out "Help Us! My mom's trying to kill us."  Tim Tessenner was driving down Daytona Beach when he heard the cry.  He thought it was an unusual call so he responded to the alarm. The son attempted to turn the steering wheel to turn his mothers vehicle back to shore as the mom repeatedly stated "We're OK," but instead took a sharp left turn into the Daytona Ocean.  South Carolina, Ebony Wilkerson, 31, had three children including herself and was making a suicidal attempt.  By the grace of God there were bystanders nearby that prevented them from being taken under by the waves.  Bystander Stacy Robinson pulled out two of the kids.   Bystanders heard the call and helped. They also shouted out "baby in the back seat" as bystanders rescued the third child that was strapped in the car seat.  A lifeguard dived in to unbuckle the car seat and rescued the baby. The mother walked away from the scene emotionless.  Volusia County Sheriff Ben Johnson  said she was under mental health evaluation at Daytona Beach Hospital.  The children are now under states care and authorities are still awaiting for the cooperation of the woman to speak to with detectives about her intent.  

Officer Mike Chipwood stated that her sister called 911 dispatcher and told her that her sister had been talking about "demons" that day before she left the house.  She did not meet the Florida 1971 Mental Health Act or Bakers Act and was released after investigation and evaluation.   Also the women later told authorities that she was concerned about her safety and paranoid that her former husband would harm her.  Say what?! I can truly say goodness and mercy was with those kids no doubt about that.  Though her being excused after this incident is appalling.  Also considering if you believe that she has admitted to speak to demonic entities before leaving that may of aggravated her to do this event is disturbing.  If no meds, then maybe an exorcism prayer at a local holiness church. Seriously! The times that were living in goes on.  Something has to be done for the safety of the kids to prevent this from happening again.
