A MOM allegedly killed three of her kids because she thought they were possessed by demons, cops revealed.
Angela Flores, 38, admitted killing Natalie Flores, 12, Kevin Yanez, 10, and Nathan Yanez, eight, with the help of her teen son, 16, according to law enforcement.
Cops discovered the victims’ bodies at a Los Angeles home on Sunday.
Flores has been charged with three counts of murder and officers arrested her son on suspicion of murder. Charges against him haven’t been announced.
While being quizzed, Flores claimed the kids were possessed by demons and jumped on them repeatedly, law enforcement sources told the Los Angeles Times.
Deputy Chief Alan Hamilton, of the LAPD, revealed on Tuesday that Flores was hospitalized – hours before the kids were found.

She was taken to the hospital around midnight and two of the three kids were found around seven hours later.
A 911 call reported an assault with a deadly weapon at the property and cops found the kids unresponsive.
It’s not known when or how the children died.
Neighbors said Flores was acting erratically the night before the gruesome discovery.
Prisila Canales, who lives nearby, said she heard Flores screaming: “My family is abusing me!”
Canales told the LA Times that the mom walked into her next-door neighbor’s yard for a solo religious ceremony.
The neighbor said she saw the woman, who moved into the house two or three months ago, open a Bible and light candles.
Canales said: “The screaming you heard – you knew she was not OK. I can still hear her screaming.”
Cops were told about the mom’s behavior, and paramedics arrived and put her on a stretcher.
But Canales said the woman tried to wrangle herself free and yelled: “Where’s my Bible?”
Officials have yet to determine what happened between the mother’s outburst and the children being found dead the next day.
A neighbor said an older child woke up on Sunday morning and found his siblings dead, according to CBS2.
He ran to a neighbor’s house to get help before he was arrested, law enforcement sources told Fox 11.

Flores is being held on a $6million bail.
