Topless Babysitter Accused of Child Neglect

(Melbourne, Florida) A 47-year-old Fort Pierce woman, Stacey Kerres, has been accused of child neglect after being found topless lying in the River Palm Hotel parking lot when she was supposed to be babysitting.

Police talked to the child, who was sitting with the hotel staff playing a video game, told them his mother had gone to the “casino” and that his mother left him with a woman named Stacey. The child also indicated the woman was routinely put in charge of watching him.

Police searched the property and found Kerres, identified with a dagger and rose ankle tattoo, lying topless in the middle of the parking lot, not far from the room where the boy was staying with his mother, reports show.

Kerres, who police said appeared lethargic and incoherent as she struggled to talk, managed to tell the patrol officers that the child’s mother had gone gambling that “I don’t even know where (the boy) is right now,” reports show.

Kerres was booked into custody at the Brevard County Jail.
