A mother has recently been arrested for killing her two children.

Chelsea Thornton, 23, supposedly shot her 3-year-old son and then drowned her 4-year-old daughter.  She then took a bus to the hospital to complain of stomach pains and a headache.

The children’s bodies were found in the bathtub of their New Orleans home on the evening of Oct. 17.

Thornton admitted to officers that she killed her young children and she now faces first degree murder charges.

The father of the children, who had an off-and-on relationship with Thornton, expressed his desires to have helped his kids.
