A Los Angeles mother has been arrested after her three children were found dead at their home on Mother's Day, police said.
Authorities detained the unidentified woman on a stretcher and carried her out of the home on Sunday morning as neighbors described her as being hysterical, Fox 11 Los Angeles reported.
"I couldn't see anybody, and I kept hearing, ‘My family is abusing me,’ and just kept hearing screaming, but I couldn't make out what she was saying," neighbor Priscilla Canales told the outlet.
