Mother tried to commit murder-suicide after failed attempt to escape from her home, prosecutor says

Mother Accused of Trying to Drown Her Three Children in Texas, Prosecutors Say 'Plan B' After Failed Escape Attempt.

A bizarre case of attempted murder-suicide unfolded in Liberty County, Texas, when a mother, Jessica Quintana, 39, allegedly tried to drown her three children - aged 6, 11, and 15 - after failing to escape from their rural estate. According to prosecutors, the day before the incident, Quintana's husband, Domingo Quintana, 61, attempted to leave their home but was unsuccessful.

The following morning, Jessica Quintana instructed her children to consume a lethal mixture of tequila and Nyquil, with the intention of rolling them into the water once they were incapacitated. However, thanks to timely intervention, the "Plan B" did not come to fruition, and all four survived.

Quintana was arrested last Friday after being released from the hospital and has been charged with two counts of Injury to a child and one count of Attempted Aggravated Assault.

Prosecutors claim that this incident is Quintana's second plan, following an unsuccessful attempt to leave the home on the day before. The motive behind her actions remains unclear, but investigators have stated that the 15-year-old daughter provided crucial information during their investigation.

It has also been reported that a separate animal abuse case involving Domingo Quintana has led to his arrest and court appearance, with prosecutors stating he is not currently facing charges related to the attempted murder-suicide plot.
 
oh man, this is like something out of a bad movie ๐Ÿคฃ Jessica's plan was literally "Plan B" after her first plan (aka leaving the house) failed... i mean, what's next? Plan C? Plan D? ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™€๏ธ and poor kids got to drink tequila and Nyquil - that's just a recipe for disaster! ๐Ÿน๐Ÿ˜ท anyway, I guess you could say Domingo Quintana is having quite the week ๐Ÿ˜‚ and kudos to his daughter for speaking up... maybe she should write a book or something ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this crazy story in Texas ๐Ÿคฏ. I mean, can you even imagine a mom trying to drown her own kids? ๐Ÿ˜ฑ The fact that she had a 'Plan B' after things didn't go according to plan is just chilling ๐Ÿ’€. The 15-year-old daughter must have been really brave to spill the beans to the investigators ๐Ÿ‘ฎโ€โ™€๏ธ. I'm not sure what's more shocking, the fact that this happened or that it might happen again ๐Ÿค”. We need to make sure all our kids are safe and loved at home #JusticeForTheQuintanaKids #ProtectOurChildren #MentalHealthMatters
 
Ugh, my heart goes out to those kids ๐Ÿค•... I mean, can you even imagine having parents who are willing to try to drown them? It's like, what kind of messed up planning is that?! Jessica Quintana, 39, and her husband Domingo, 61, must be, like, a couple from a bad 90s drama movie or something... "Plan B" after "Plan A"... sounds like a scene straight out of a thriller novel ๐Ÿ“š. And the fact that she was planning it for DAYS? Like, what's going on in her head? And poor Domingo, arrested again for animal abuse... I guess you could say their marriage is literally toxic ๐Ÿ’”. But, I mean, at least all four kids are alive now... fingers crossed they can get some serious therapy and support to deal with this trauma ๐Ÿค.
 
I'm still trying to wrap my head around this one... ๐Ÿคฏ A mom's desperation is just heartbreaking, you know? I mean, what leads someone to try and harm their own kids like that? It's like, I get that she was clearly struggling or feeling trapped or whatever, but drowning her own babies? That's just not okay. And now we're learning more about the hubby, Domingo... animal abuse case, huh? Not sure if it's connected, but two wrongs don't make a right, you know?

I'm just glad that all four of them are alive and well. It's like, what could've been so bad for this woman that she felt like taking out her kids on someone else? I hope they get the help they need and move forward in peace. This whole thing is just so... disturbing ๐Ÿค•
 
๐Ÿคฏ I mean, what's next? Trying to kill our kids while they're watching SpongeBob?! ๐Ÿ˜‚ I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure there's a better way to deal with parental stress than drowning your own kids... like, have you seen those fancy coffee shops downtown? โ˜•๏ธ Get yourself a venti-sized anxiety attack latte! ๐Ÿคฃ
 
๐Ÿšจ๐Ÿ˜ฑ this is just awful... I mean, i'm glad those kids survived and all but seriously how does someone even think they can drown their own kids? ๐Ÿ’” it's like she completely lost touch with reality. I feel so bad for the dad, he must be going through hell trying to cope with this and dealing with another animal abuse case too... that's just a lot to handle. ๐Ÿพ๐Ÿ’ฅ prosecutors are right to bring all charges against her now that Plan B didn't work out ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
 
Ugh, this is so messed up! ๐Ÿคฏ I mean, can you believe she tried to drown her own kids?! Like, what was she thinking?! I guess that's why they say "abuse of power" - it looks like she had the ultimate power over those kids and chose to use it for evil. And poor Domingo, arrested for animal abuse too? That's just great. The fact that her 15-year-old daughter spoke up is definitely a silver lining, but I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole thing... How can you even plan something like that?! It's just sickening ๐Ÿคข
 
omg, this is like so sad ๐Ÿค• i cant even imagine how scary it must be for those kids to think their mom would try to drown them... like what's going through her mind? it's crazy that she had already tried to escape once and then had another plan, it's like she didn't care about the kids at all. and poor 15-year-old daughter who has to deal with this trauma... i hope she gets some good support from family and friends.

i'm also kinda shocked that tequila and Nyquil were used as the "plan b"... what was she thinking? it's not like those things are hard to figure out, it's just so messed up. anyway, i'm glad all 4 kids made it out alive and i hope Jessica gets the help she needs...
 
omg this is so sickening i cant even wrap my head around it like what would make someone try to drown their own kids ๐Ÿคฏ and i feel bad for those poor kids they must be traumatized for life 15 years old and already dealing with this kinda stuff

and whats up with the husband too?? didnt know he was involved in anything like that or is it just that he was trying to leave but failed? anyway im glad all four survived tho thats the priority but justice needs to be served here
 
๐Ÿค• This story is literally a nightmare come true... How did she even think this was a good idea? ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ Rolling kids into water while they're incapacitated? That's some dark stuff right there... I'm glad those kids survived, but the fact that they had to go through that in the first place is just heart-wrenching... The 15-year-old daughter must have been going through some trauma to provide crucial info during the investigation ๐Ÿคฏ. Anything that brings a mother and father's relationship down like this is just devastating for the kids...
 
omg u guyz this is like soooo messed up!!! ๐Ÿคฏ i cant even imagine bein in her shoes (if thats possible lol) but fam she tried to drown her kids!! like what r u thinkin?? i feel bad for da kids tho, they must be traumatized 4eva. i dont no wut kinda motive was behind it tho, maybe she was havin a bad day or somethin? anywayz, i hope she gets help & rehab or whatevs she needs 2 deal w/ her issues ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ
 
๐Ÿšจ this is like, totally disturbing on so many levels... i mean, the fact that a mom would try to drown her own kids is just heartbreaking ๐Ÿค• and what's even crazier is she had multiple attempts, it's not like she was just having a bad day or something ๐Ÿ˜ฉ. and then you gotta think about why she did this, some people say it's domestic abuse and the fact that her husband wasn't working at home... i don't know, maybe there's more to it than we're seeing ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ. but one thing is for sure, these kids got lucky and they'll probably be in therapy for a long time trying to process this trauma ๐Ÿ’”
 
OMG, this case is just so shocking!!! ๐Ÿคฏ I mean, who would even think of something like that? It's like a movie or a TV show, you know? ๐Ÿ˜ฑ But seriously, it's horrific what Jessica Quintana allegedly did to her own kids. The fact that she tried to drown them in tequila and Nyquil is just crazy! ๐Ÿคช And the part where her 15-year-old daughter helped investigators is just wild... I don't get why people do these things, you know? It's like, what was going on in her head? ๐Ÿ’ญ

And then there's Domingo Quintana, Jessica's husband, who's in a separate animal abuse case. That's another whole thing, right? ๐Ÿ• I mean, I don't think it's related to the attempted murder-suicide plot or whatever, but still... two people involved, and now they're both facing some serious charges.

I don't know, maybe I'm just not getting the bigger picture here, but this case is just so sad and disturbing. ๐Ÿค• Anyone else following this story? Got any thoughts on it?
 
๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿšจ This is so messed up ๐Ÿคฏ! A mom trying to drown her own kids? ๐Ÿ˜ท That's some crazy stuff ๐Ÿคช. How can someone be so selfish and heartless ๐Ÿ’”? The fact that she had a second plan too ๐Ÿคฏ is even more terrifying ๐Ÿ˜ฑ.

I feel bad for the kids, they must have been living in fear their whole lives ๐Ÿ˜จ. And now they're stuck with this mom who might not love them ๐Ÿ’”. I hope she gets the help she needs ๐Ÿš‘, but at the same time, I'm not feeling sorry for her ๐Ÿ˜’.

It's also weird that the dad is being arrested separately for animal abuse ๐Ÿ•๐Ÿค. It's like, what's going on with this family? Are they just crazy or something? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ I need more info on this one ๐Ÿ‘€...
