LOS ANGELES – A woman was charged today with killing her three children earlier this week in East Los Angeles.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn an instant, three innocent children were taken from us and we are crestfallen,\u201d District Attorney George Gasc\u00f3n said. \u201cNothing is more heartbreaking than the tragic betrayal of a parent failing to protect their children.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sandra Chico, 28, was charged with three counts each of ‘murder and assault on a child causing death.’<\/p>\n

On June 28, Los Angeles County sheriff\u2019s deputies were called to a home in the 600 block of Ferris Avenue. When they arrived, they found 3-year-old Mia R., 2-year-old Mason R., and 1-month-old Milan R. dead.<\/p>\n

Officials did not immediately say how the kids were killed but family members say Chico suffocated them, KABC reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I won’t criticize her,” the grandmother told the station<\/a>. “I wish her well. She is also a victim of her illness, which is depression. And even more so during these times that people couldn’t go out. She never went out for anything.”<\/p>\n

The case remains under investigation by the Los Angeles County Sheriff\u2019s Department.<\/p>\n
