Lashaun T. Harris, 23, was taken into custody Wednesday night after someone saw her drop the youngsters from a 10-foot pier not far from Fishermen's Wharf, a major tourist spot.
The San Francisco Chronicle reported that the woman told authorities that voices had told her to throw her children in.
Britney Fitzpatrick, 16, who said she is the woman's half-sister, said Harris talks to herself and was diagnosed with schizophrenia this year.
"She told my mama she was going to feed them to the sharks," Britney said of the children. "No one thought it was that serious."
Harris first took off the children's clothes before dumping them in the water, according to a report in The San Jose Mercury News.
The body of Taronta Greely Jr., 2, was recovered late Wednesday near a yacht club, about two miles from the pier. The Coast Guard continued to search Thursday for the other youngsters, Trayshaun, 6, and Joshua, 16 months.
Harris had been living with her children in a Salvation Army shelter in Oakland and had no criminal record in San Francisco, police said. She was jailed on suspicion of three counts of murder and three of assault.
Her Mom tried to get the city to take kids from her but didn't.
I'll be going to SF next Mon. (yep 10-31 bad idea) to start
a clinical trial for some meds that mite help me sleep.
We mite drop off something at Warf #10. Sadness
