NEW YORK (AP) — Friends and relatives of Yoselyn Ortega, the New York City nanny accused of stabbing two young children to death, said she appeared to be struggling emotionally and financially recently. Few, though, could offer any explanation for what might have caused her to attack the children.
“She snapped,” the nanny’s sister, Celia Ortega, told The New York Post. “We don’t understand what happened to her mind.”
Yoselyn Ortega, 50, remained hospitalized Saturday.
