A mother who jumped off Niagara Falls with her two young children made distressing final social media posts before the three of them died.
Chianti Means, 33, and her kids Roman Rossman, 9, and Mecca Means, 5 months, went over a safety guardrail at Luna Island and into the 200-foot-tall waterfall on Monday night.
Their bodies are still missing.
Chianti, also known as Diamond Scott according to the Daily Mail, expressed heartbreak and hopelessness around a breakup with her daughter’s father.

‘Cause I was a dumb a** pregnant b**** who swore up & down I ain’t want him,’ Chianti wrote on Facebook on October 14 in response to a question on why their relationship ended.
Three days earlier, Chianti wrote that her biggest goal was to ‘become a calm woman when it comes to any situation’.
‘I’m sick of irritation, anger, sadness, and rage,’ she added.
On October 1, she longed for her family to be pieced back together.

‘Everyone please leave me alone I’m in love with my daughter father,’ she posted.
‘I want my family back. Respectfully Idgaf what I said about him before or what anyone else thinks.’
And back on September 28, Chianti lamented: ‘I wish someone would love me because the man that’s supposed to does not.’

Chianti worked as a domestic violence counselor and earned a bachelor’s degree in social work in 2019, as well as a masters degree in the same subject, according to her LinkedIn profile. The three were reportedly residents of Niagara Falls.
New York State Police on Wednesday stated that the ‘incident was intentional in nature’ but that ‘the circumstances remain under investigation’.
State Trooper James O’Callaghan said there were a ‘lot of security measures’ at Luna Falls, which is north of Goat Island, and that the three could not have ‘just stumbled in’.

‘Everyone always says, “Was there a red flag – was there a warning?” Right? We don’t see that here. We don’t see how that red flag or that warning or that indicator that would assume that things had taken a long-term turn for the worse,’ said O’Callaghan, according to ABC News.
‘Either something happened suddenly or… That’s the spotty area where we’re not quite sure right now.
‘The best we can do for the family is to, down the road, recover the bodies if we can.’
