Porter County mom arrested after 5-year-old son was found alone

PORTER Co., Ind. — A nearly naked 5-year-old boy was roaming around outside near the road for an hour and a half, said Porter County police.

The mother was found at home so drunk she couldn’t even correctly spell her name. When asked how to spell Amy Kessinger, police said she spelled it, ‘Ay Kssinger.’

Kessinger was taken to jail, and is accused of neglect of a dependent.

A witness told police they first saw the child outside, wearing just a t-shirt. They were sitting on the hood of a car parked on the road.

The witness didn’t think the child was alone, but went back outside later and the boy was still outside.

Kessinger was three times the legal limit said police.
