3-year-old twins found foaming at the mouth after their mother left them to die in her car only because they would end up being homeless before she tried to kill herself; mother charged
Florida – In a disturbing case out of Florida, a 43-year-old mother, identified as S. Alcime, faces charges of aggravated manslaughter after her twin toddlers were found dead under mysterious circumstances. The distressing event unfolded early in February.
The distressing incident unfolded on the night of February 2nd. According to reports, Alcime attempted to end her life and jumped over an expressway wall, plummeting onto the train tracks below. She survived the fall but was critically injured. This dramatic scene unfolded just as officers arrived in response to an emergency call regarding two unresponsive children found in a car parked near the expressway. The children, 3-year-old twins, showed no immediate signs of life, displaying symptoms such as foaming at the mouth. Despite rapid transport to an area hospital, they were pronounced dead shortly after arrival.
According to reports, police investigations revealed a shocking narrative. Alcime had been considering killing herself and her children for months, driven by severe financial strain and overwhelming debts. This chilling intent was disclosed in a probable cause affidavit, where Alcime described her day-long reconnaissance of potential bridges for her suicidal leap on the day before the tragic incident.
The critical moments leading to the tragic event began when a tow truck driver noticed Alcime’s car parked on the highway. After the driver called 911 and attempted CPR on the children, Alcime, upon hearing police sirens, jumped off the bridge. In her statement to the police, she denied administering any substances that could have caused her children’s condition but admitted to her suicidal intentions that horrific night. The medical examiner’s office, however, has ruled the twins’ deaths as homicide by unspecified means, leaving a cloud of uncertainty about the exact nature of their demise.
According to the arrest affidavit, Alcime planned either to jump with her children or throw them off the bridge one by one before jumping herself. She also told authorities that leaving the children with their father was not an option because they would have ended up being homeless. Initially held on charges of aggravated child neglect, the legal focus shifted as further details emerged, leading to the current charges of aggravated manslaughter. Alcime pleaded not guilty to the charges last week.
