Clark is described as "depressed and suicidal," according to the police report.
JSO said it is "trying to ascertain their safety," as Clark and her children were evicted from their home with nowhere to stay.
On Sunday, Clark allegedly told a friend she met up with at Walmart on Merrill Road, "DCF will not help me with the kids and they will be better off without me. I am going to kill myself," according to the report. She was reportedly drinking at that time.
We are at a home where Kimber Clark once lived with her five children. The owner tells me she evicted her. I’m waiting to talk to her roommate. I’ll have that report at 5. @ActionNewsJax @WOKVNews pic.twitter.com/sI4JJzSKL0
