Woman who says she enjoy being a great mom got arrested after children were found dead, huhhn

Boy 6:years and girl 3 years
A woman who was arrested after the bodies of a
three-year-old girl and six-year-old boy were found
shoved inside plastic tote containers hidden a
storage locker said her career was: 'Being The Best Mom I Can Be'.
Tami Joy Huntsman, 39, and her 17-year-old
boyfriend, Gonzalo Curiel, are behind bars and
facing charges of felony child abuse, torture, and
mayhem, after the gruesome discovery in
Redding, California, on Monday night.
Police were led to the remains after they
discovered a 'severely abused' nine-year-old girl at
an apartment Huntsman was taken. The
youngster was taken into surgery suffering
multiple injuries.
Sheriff Greg Hagwood said she weighed about 40
pounds, had broken bones in her shoulder, broken
fingers, a dislocated jaw, and teeth that were
missing or loose.
Neither them or the nine-year-old girl had been
enrolled in local schools.
Huntsman is a relative of the two homicide
victims but not their mother. Her Facebook page
lists her work as "Being the Best Mom I Can Be."
When Huntsman, Curiel, and the young children
moved from Salinas to a friend's house in Quincy,
Calif., Plumas County Child Protective Services
alerted the sheriff because agents found a
tortured 9-year-old girl. The girl was starving and
dying.
"Due to the circumstances surrounding the
incident, further investigation was required
for possible additional victims. This led to
the discovery of two deceased (kids) inside
a storage unit in the city of Redding," Peay
said.
Autopsies are pending, and it was not
immediately clear where or when the two children
died.
Robinson's Monterey County office filed death
reports for the two children, indicating that the
kids may have died in Salinas.
The two homicide victims and the abused 9-year-
old girl were siblings. Friends said Huntsman was
caring for the children who were slain because
their mother died after she was struck by a car
while walking, and the father gave up custody.
Huntsman's 12-year-old twins (a boy and a girl)
were taken by Child Protective Services agents
when she was arrested.
Curiel and Huntsman remain jailed with bail set
at $1 million each. Curiel will be tried as an adult,
prosecutors said Tuesday.
According to Plumas News, Curiel tipped off
investigators that they would find the missing
children's bodies in the storage locker.
Tami Huntsman and her brother, Wayne
Huntsman, grew up in Santa Cruz. Wayne
Huntsman is currently in prison and accused of
intentionally igniting a massive wildfire in a
national forest.
The Plumas County Sheriff's Office, Redding
Police Department, and Salinas Police Department
are investigating further circumstances
surrounding the children's death.
"We are still deep into the investigation,"
Salinas Police Chief Kelly McMillin said.
Plumas County Sheriff Greg Hagwood said:
"This is an unspeakable tragedy. I don't
understand. And I don't think anybody can
fully appreciate the measure of suffering
and pain and terror that people inflict on
one another."
Elliott Robinson, director of social services for
Monterey County, told KBSW that Huntsman and
her family had been investigated for the last year,
suspected of abusing their children.
Curiel and Huntsman remain jailed with bail set at
$1 million each. Prosecutors said on Tuesday that
Curiel will be tried as an adult.
The identities of the children have not yet been
released. Their cause of death is also not yet known.
