However, the children told investigators otherwise and witnesses said she tried to keep them from rescuing them. The windows were rolled up and the doors were locked, and one of the children tried to wrestle alhambra ring copy the steering wheel away from her, Johnson said. "She told them to how much is the fake Alhambra ring close their eyes and how much is the copy van cleef & arpels ring go to sleep. She was trying to take them to a better place," Johnson said.
One of the children lowered the windows and the siblings yelled for help, attracting the bystanders, a sheriff's office report said.

Wilkerson was placed in custody of the sheriff's office Friday after she had been hospitalized for a mental evaluation since Tuesday. Her children were with the Department of Children and Families. Wilkerson faces three counts each of attempted first degree murder and aggravated child abuse, Johnson said. "You're supposed to protect your children at all costs," Johnson said at a news conference. "You're not supposed to try to kill your children."
Hours before driving into the ocean, Wilkerson had talked about demons when she left her sister's house in Daytona Beach, a police report said. Her sister worriedly called Daytona Beach police.
After the call to dispatch, police officers stopped Wilkerson's black Honda Odyssey and she expressed fear that her husband would be coming to Florida to harm her and her children.
The children were sitting quietly, smiling, and showed no signs of distress, the police report said.
"It was clear during my conversation that Wilkerson was suffering from some form of mental illness, but she was lucid and did not provide any signs that she met Baker Act requirements," the Daytona Beach police officer said in the report.
Family members told investigators that Wilkerson was in an abusive relationship and that she had come to Florida to get away from her husband, according to the sheriff's office report. Her husband, who has not been identified, said that Wilkerson assaulted him, police told WKMG on Thursday.
