The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office (HCSO) says on Wednesday, the suspect, identified as Shaniece Willingham, had gotten into an argument with her mother, which led to Willingham leaving the home with her three children in a toy wagon. Deputies say shortly after, Willingham began a livestream video on Instagram, stating her intention to harm herself and the children.

Glad that family members just happened to be watching Instagram. This could have been a horrible tragedy.

Hoping those babies have someone to care and love them.

I hope this family gets the help they need. This could have ended terribly for these babies.

Good God! If you hate your life so much, stop & make better choices for your babies. Reach out for help, ensure your kids are ok, then go get mad and do whatever. Now these poor tykes were traumatized.
