A Palm Coast woman allegedly left her son in a room where a man died after using drugs and having a threesome while her son slept in the same room.
Amy Kemper, 32, was arrested and charged with felony child neglect on Sept. 10 after Flagler County Sheriff’s Office deputies and Flagler County paramedics responded to a call at Hammock Beach Resort about an unresponsive man. Paramedics tried to revive the man but could not.
As FCSO deputies spoke to Kemper, she told them that she, the victim and several others drank and used cocaine and marijuana in the room the night before. She and a man had stayed the night with the victim in the hotel room to have a threesome, according to her arrest report.
Kemper’s 11-year-old son was in the hotel room the entire night, sleeping on a couch tucked partially into the closet, the arrest report said.
Kemper told deputies that she had hung a sheet to separate the couch from the bed during the threesome so her son would not see anything if he woke up.
Kemper and the other man left around 5 a.m., she said, leaving Kemper’s son in the room with the unconscious victim, cocaine, and drug and sex paraphernalia.
She told deputies they thought their friend was “just sleeping it off.”
When they returned around 9:30 a.m., the victim was cold and unresponsive, Kemper said in the arrest report. The two called 911 and began chest compressions.
The son told deputies he had no idea what was happening until deputies arrived.
