Miami PD

Police officers found two young children dead after responding to several 911 hang-up calls from an apartment in Miami, officials said. Their mother has been arrested. 

Miami officers responding to the calls looked inside the apartment late Tuesday and saw the children, police spokesperson Michael Vega told news outlets.

"Fire rescue was called to the scene and declared both children were deceased," he said.

"Come get them, I don't want them anymore," 41-year-old Odette Lysse Joassaint told officers who responded to the scene on Tuesday night, according to the arrest report. Police said she appeared to be irrational.
