“My family is abusing me,” she wailed before lighting a candle and reading the Bible on a neighbour’s lawn.

By the next morning, three of her children were dead.

Flores, 38, has now confessed to murdering her daughter Natalie, 12, and her twin boys Nathan and Kevin, 8.

She was allegedly assisted in the homicidal frenzy by her 16-year-old son.

According to cops, Flores is now being held on $6-million bail. Her son and alleged accomplice is being held without bail at Sylmar Juvenile Hall on a single count of murder.

“I couldn’t see anybody and I kept hearing, ‘My family is abusing me!’ And just kept hearing screaming, but I couldn’t make out what she was saying,” neighbour Prisila Canales told KTTV.

“I can hear her saying, ‘Ow, ow, ow.’ I guess they were trying to arrest her or restrain her. They brought her out on the stretcher and she was laying down and would just pop up out of nowhere and yell, ‘Where’s my Bible? Where’s my Bible?’”

Canales added: “The screaming you heard; you knew she was not okay. I can still hear her screaming.”

Just before 8 a.m. on Mother’s Day, officers responded to Flores’ home in the Los Angeles suburb of Woodland Hills.

Flores herself had already been removed on a stretcher around midnight, screaming and trying to flail her way out of her predicament.

So far, detectives haven’t said when she allegedly murdered her children. According to Facebook, she previously lived in Kansas City where she worked for a construction company and in real estate.

The family had lived in the ranch home for about three months.

Police are keeping mum on what triggered the woman’s unraveling.

The three children who had been murdered were found unresponsive and dead at the scene. It’s believed they died sometime on Saturday and cops have not released how they were killed.

But before cops arrived, Flores and her teen son sought refuge at two area homes.

Another neighbour said he heard a child’s cries late on Saturday night.

“I thought I was just dreaming,” he said. “I thought West Hills was supposed to be safe. Nothing is safe nowadays.”

Stephen Hayes, 71, who lives in the area told the Los Angeles Times he often saw the family riding their bikes.

“They look like nice, normal people. It is one of the nicest looking houses in the block,” he said.
