As can be seen in the video, the children were pulled to safety just moments before it was too late. The van is actually being lifted and tossed around by the waves of the ocean.


Without regard for their own safety, the individuals ran into to rescue the children, but could have easily become trapped if the van had been knocked over by the heavy surf in Daytona Beach.

A 911 call from the disturbed mother’s sister was recorded just moments before the incident. The sister reportedly told police that she was concerned about her sister who she said had been speaking about demons.

Wilkerson has now been charged with 3 counts of attempted murder as well as 3 counts of child abuse. According to reports, all three children are healthy and are currently staying with relatives.
