Police say Ebony Wilkerson, 31, plunged her car carrying her THREE KIDS into the ocean. Lifeguards rushed into water to help save the four from drowning. One of the children wailed, ‘Our mommy’s trying to kill us, please help!’
A pregnant woman drove her SUV into the ocean Tuesday with three young children inside near Daytona Beach in an apparent murder-suicide attempt after talking about demons, authorities said.
Ebony Wilkerson, 31, drove her Honda Odyssey van wildly along the shoreline near Silver Beach Ave. before veering straight into roughly four feet of water — almost submerging the vehicle as onlookers watched in horror, police said in a statement.
Lifeguards rushed to pull the Daytona woman and the three children — ages 10, 9 and 3 — from the water as the minivan began to take on water.
One of the frantic children wailed the mother had snapped, according to reports.
“The two in the back seat was crying, with their arms out saying, ‘Our mommy’s trying to kill us, please help,'” witness Tim Tesseneer told WESH of the frightening scene he first thought was a joy ride.

Instead Wilkerson’s sister had contacted police only a few hours earlier while fearing for her safety after Wilkerson was “talking about demons prior to leaving the residence with her three young children,” according to police.
A well-being check was subsequently performed on Wilkerson who was pulled over while driving her minivan with her children in the back.
“As I spoke with her, I could see her children sitting in the back seat. They were sitting quietly, but they were smiling and showed no signs of distress,” the officer stated in his report.

‘Our mommy’s trying to kill us!’ Tim Tesseneer runs toward the minivan after hearing a young boy screaming for help from his mother’s minivan.
“Wilkerson, who was calm and collective during our contact advised me that she was in fear for her safety and that of her children.”
The mother allegedly said she was going to her “safe place” out of fear that her ex-husband was going to find them and harm them.
Despite her fear, Wilkerson was determined to be “lucid, aware of her surroundings, able to care for herself and her children, and showed no signs of meeting the requirements of the Baker Act,” a Florida mental health care act permitting involuntary examination.

Mother-of-three Ebony Wilkerson, 31, left, can be seen wading in the ocean Tuesday after driving her minivan into the ocean — with all of her children inside.
At 4:56 p.m., less than two hours later, rescue crews were called to the scene of the watery crash.
“All I could think about was Susan Smith,” Tesseneer told WESH, refering to a South Carolina woman who was convicted of murder after driving her car into a lake with her two children inside in 1994.
“She had this look on her face,” he said. “I can’t describe it. It was just an awful blank look, like spaced out look.”
The incoherent woman and her soaked kids were taken to a local hospital for precautionary reasons, but were expected to survive.
“If it had been a minute longer the outcome probably would have been very different,” police said at an afternoon press conference of the rescue.

Tesseneer told the station that the woman was refusing to speak of the incident to her saviors or cops.The shocking incident was captured by Canadian tourist Simon Besner, who documented the courageous lifeguards rushing into the water and plucking the four from the vehicle that appeared to be on the verge of being swept away into the deep blue.
“It was a bit terrifying,” Besner told WFTV.
The vehicle had a South Carolina license plate, police said.
Investigators with the Volusia County Beach Safety Ocean Rescue are still trying to determine why the woman veered her car into the ocean.
The woman’s three children were taken into state custody and a search warrant of her vehicle was being sought as of 4 p.m.
