Hot Potato - A woman

Hot Potato - A woman tried to toss her kids into the river Friday, and jump in after them, in an incident that happened within sight of the Taste of Minnesota. A good samaritan recovered the woman and one child.

Expect advocated for the mentally-ill to jump on this as evidence that the Pawlenty budget cuts are "killing people". Expect others to use it as an example that welfare benefits are drawing people from out of state.

The body of the second child has yet to be recovered.
