A tribute was underway in Brooklyn Thursday to pay tribute to the three children who drowned in the water off Coney Island beach Monday morning.
For each victim, she is charged with murder, murder with depraved indifference to human life and murder with victim under 11 years old.
Earlier on Thursday, family members gathered for the wake of four-year-old Liliana, and now many are gathering with shared grief as they still try to come to terms with what happened. The 7-year-old played football and was the center of all laughs. His father had visitation rights to his son and was planning on fighting for custody this fall, but with that no longer an option, he's now holding on to all the memories.His mother, Erin Merdy, has prior incidents of harassment and aggravated harassment that did not result in charges, but she has no prior arrests or a history of being emotionally disturbed.
