Three young children died after they were found alone on Brooklyn’s Coney Island Beach in the middle of the night early Monday — and their disturbed mother is suspected of drowning them, police sources said.

A 3-month-old girl, a 4-year-old girl and a 7-year-old boy were discovered unconscious on the beach near the shoreline at W. 35th St. at 4:42 a.m.

The tragic discovery was made after police skilled a 1:40 a.m. 911 call from their mother’s sister.

“The caller indicated that she was concerned her loved one may have harmed her three small children,” NYPD Chief of Department Kenneth Corey said at a grim news conference on Coney Island’s Riegelmann Boardwalk.

Cops visited the 30-year-old mother’s home on Neptune Ave. near W. 33rd St. in Coney Island . They found the apartment door unlocked and no-one home.

Somewhere within the building police ran into the dad of one of the kids who “who expressed similar concerns and said he believed the woman and the children were on the boardwalk,” Corey said.
