Mother Drives Van Into N.Y. River, Killing Self and 3 Children
Lashanda Armstrong
This is such a sad story! My heart aches for these little children who died in such a horrible way. I am glad at least, one of them made it. 
QUOTE Police are investigating what led a New York mother of four to drive herself and her children into the cold and murky Hudson River, killing herself and three of her kids.
The woman's 10-year-old son managed to escape the submerged minivan and swim to shore after his mother drove into the river at around 8 p.m. Tuesday, officials said.
Authorities said during a press conference Wednesday that 25-year-old Lashanda Armstrong, of Newburgh, N.Y., had just been involved in a domestic dispute before she loaded her children into the vehicle and drove them into the river.
"We are talking about a tragedy in this city that I would say is probably second to none," Newburgh Mayor Nicholas Valentine said. "The whole scene surrounding what occurred in Newburgh last night will have a lasting effect on this city."
Officials said the 10-year-old boy managed to open the minivan's power window, climb out and swim to shore. The boy was picked up by a passerby, authorities said, and was able to alert firefighters at a nearby fire station. Source 2

According to one of the relatives, this mother has been acting strange for weeks now so I think she probably gave a few dangerous signs and nobody really took it on. How sad for this family and these little precious children.
