   She found a way to get shed of her male sprog biracial mistakes.  Now   
   it's just a matter of eliminating the biracial daughters.  Each one of   
   the kids had a different father.   
      
   BONHAM, Texas (AP) — Three brothers — ages 6, 8 and 9 — died in Texas   
   during the massive winter storm gripping the U.S. after falling through   
   an icy pond across the street from a house where they were staying,   
   authorities said Tuesday. Their mother said she jumped into the freezing   
   water but wasn’t able to save them.   
      
   “They were just screaming, telling me to help them,” Cheyenne Hangaman   
   told The Associated Press. “And I watched all of them struggle, struggle   
   to stay above the water. I watched all of them fight.”   
      
   The brothers died on Monday after falling into the private pond north of   
   Bonham, a rural community of about 10,000 people near the Oklahoma   
   border, the Fannin County Sheriff’s Office said. First responders and a   
   neighbor pulled the two older boys from the water and the youngest   
   sibling was recovered after an extensive search of the pond, according   
   to the sheriff.   
      
   Hangaman said she and her children had been staying at a friend’s house   
   across the street from the pond, and that she’d warned them to not go   
   near it. But, she said, on Monday her youngest daughter ran to tell her   
   that her brothers were in the water.   
      
   “I ran across as much ice as I could to get to them and eventually ended   
   up falling in myself,” said Hangaman, who said the freezing water   
   immediately shocked her body.   
      
   “I would grab one, try to put him on ice, but the ice just kept breaking   
   every time I would sit him up there," she said. "I would just keep   
   trying to go to each one of them trying to help them and it was only me,   
   like I couldn’t help them all by myself.”   
      
   Hangaman said a man who came to help was able to throw a rope to her to   
   get her out of the pond.   
      
   “I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t move," she said. “By that time I knew   
   that my kids were already gone. So I just had to try to fight for my   
   life at that point.”   
      
   All three of the boys were in elementary school in the Bonham   
   Independent School District, which had canceled classes Monday because   
   of the frigid weather that has swept across much of the U.S. The school   
   district was also closed Tuesday due to extreme weather conditions,   
   including icy roads and freezing temperatures.   
      
   “We are devastated by this unimaginable loss, and our thoughts are with   
   the family, friends, and all who knew and loved these children,"   
   Superintendent Lance Hamlin said in a letter to parents.   
      
   Hangaman said all three boys were “bubbly.” “You couldn’t really stop   
   their bubbliness,” she said.   
      
   On Tuesday, a layer of ice still covered much of the small pond in a   
   wooded area.   
      
   More than 40 deaths have been reported in states affected by severe cold.
