Mother left her children on the side of the road while she went to "look for God."

I hope they find her and get her some help

This is very sad. Those poor kids are now without their mother

I wish she'd dropped the kids off with someone then had an emotional breakdown.

But at least they were found.

Looking around but I am not seeing the state mentioned.

That's a lot less dangerous. Poor kids. They're just collateral damage of religious insanity.

She could have just as easily been looking for aliens or Jimmy Hoffa.

Sad. The whole story sounds like something Kurt Vonnegut might have written.
I don't think he would be pleased.

If it were a fictional character, I think he might have commented on eventually finding god...at the bottom of 15 feet of water and then sadly tacking on "And so it goes."

One of the greatest things Vonnegut was able to do as a writer, IMO, was to take an extreme tragedy...extreme tragedy...and lay layer after layer of gentle sadness over it until the patina was thick enough a body could look at the thing without going mad at the insanity of the world.

This woman, I feel sorry for her. I feel sorry for her children. I am forever grateful she chose not to take the lives of her children, too, because I have read a sheaf of news articles reaching from the floor to the ceiling where the whole family dies.
