I Am Rachel Kenney!

Rachel Kenney
Mooresville, IN - An employee of Mooresville High School was outside in the parking lot while a pep rally was going on inside. They noticed a woman exit a parked vehicle leaving it running with the flashers on. Later, they noticed the vehicle still sitting there running they went to investigate. Peering inside the running vehicle, they observed a baby bundled up and asleep on the back seat. The employee called police. The tag number was ran by the responding officer and the vehicle’s owner was identified. It was registered to a Rachel Kenney, 23. She was the assistant girls basketball coach and inside participating in a student versus faculty basketball game.
Rachel was paged and came outside to meet officers…and this is where the story gets a little frustrating. Rachel does not feel that she had done anything wrong. She told police that she had to participate in this game, and her 9-month-old son was sick. She decided to leave the baby in the backseat, with the doors unlocked, the vehicle running as well as the heat instead of carrying him inside. Police asked why she didn’t leave the baby at home, and she informed them that no one was there to leave the baby with. When the officer remarked that the well-being of her child was more important than a basketball game, she became a bit agitated.
She told the officer “I am Rachel Kenney and nobody would take my baby! People don’t steal cars in Mooresville and besides, there are cameras everywhere!” Police called Kenney’s mother, since she lives with her, and were able to leave the baby in her custody. When Kenney’s mother arrived at the scene, she also was upset at situation. But not with her daughter. She was upset with police for arresting Kenney, stating that she too felt that her daughter had done nothing wrong and that the baby was in no danger.
Now, at first I was going to give Kenney the benefit of the doubt. I was assuming that Mooresville, Ind must be a car lovers dream. A city in which you could walk into a parking lot on any given winter day and see rows of vehicles running with sleeping newborns bundled up in the backseat. Where a man could take his Mercedes and leave it unlocked and running while he went inside the grocery store with no fear of returning to an empty space where his car once sat. Until I checked and saw that while Mooresville doesn’t have big city numbers in regards to car theft, they did have at least 55 stolen cars reported during 2006 and 2007. That also had me wondering if Kenney would have taken out her life savings and left it laying visible on the seat of her vehicle instead of her son.
Regardless of whether or not Kenney and her mother feel her charge and arrest was justified, she was charged with neglect of a dependent, a D felony. She’sShe reviews
scheduled to appear in court later this month. She faces up to three years in prison if convicted.

That’s a good way to put it. I bet I know which one would be more precious to her.
11:20 pm on February 14th, 2009
She just had to be there-LOL
Hope, she has a basketball game the date and time of the hearing.
I guess she could coach the women’s prison B-Ball Team. You know she would always be there.
11:22 pm on February 14th, 2009
See, that let’s you know ”
that the apple doesn’t fall that far from the tree.”
Not,only is she stupid, so is her mother.
Did, they not realize that something could have clogged the pipes in the car and the baby could have suffered Monoixde poisoning or something.
Or,that somebody could have stolen her car and if they found out the baby was in the car ,could have done away with a baby.
Oh, she probably wouldn’t have cared cause the basketball game was more important than her baby.
11:31 pm on February 14th, 2009
wtf does “i am rachel kennedy” mean? is she that self-absorbed to think that a car thief would pass her running car over bc it was hers? no seriously, why did she say that? what a tard.
12:01 am on February 15th, 2009
guess this apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
she’s Rachel Kenney they wouldn’t dare take her money
LOL
12:14 am on February 15th, 2009
If she lived with her mother, who was home, why in the hell didn’t she leave the baby with her? I mean, her mother is another obvious Wille E. Coyote, SOOPER GENIUS type, but… … … buh? WTF??? And why the hell do people continue to think that it’s okay to leave your children in the car?
Anything could have happened to that child. Someone could have taken him just BECAUSE she is Rachel Kenney. There are quite a few legitimately sick fucks in the world. (As attested to by the vast majority of the stories on this site.) Being Rachel Kenney does not mean you are exempt from being a victim of a crime.
This kid needs to be taken away before it’s mother or grandmother decide to stick it in the microwave to warm it up or something else equally retarded.
12:29 am on February 15th, 2009
Someone needs to spray paint her ‘Rachel Kenney’ on her car. That way some thief that doesn’t personally know her, won’t take steal her car and baby.
1:30 am on February 15th, 2009
Hmmmm, could this be the female version of Dumb and Dumber? And where’s dear old daddy? Did he have a game to coach as well? Grammie couldn’t/wouldn’t watch the baby initially but could once the police were involved? I can’t believe the police would turn the baby over to Grammie when she saw nothing wrong with what Rachel had done. She works for a high school and couldn’t find a babysitter? The questions go on and on and on……………….
1:56 am on February 15th, 2009
Excellent point, Morbid! She sounds like she is so in love with herself from her statement. How dare anyone accuse her of not being an upstanding individual and a well-respected citizen in the community. She’s Rachel Kenney, damnit! She deserves respect and admiration! Bow, citizens, bow down to the Cuntemptible Coach! (misspelling intended)
3:10 am on February 15th, 2009
Ummm, Haven’t you all figured it out? The cameras in the parking lot were the Babysitters! Dayum! I saw that right off!
3:15 am on February 15th, 2009
Ya know what else, Indiana is the METH-HEAD capitol of the USA…… Sounds like Ol’ Rachel Kenney might be one of ‘em! Meth-heads brains are re-wired, their reasoning skills get truly screwed! The PoPo needs to piss test Rachel & her Momma…..
7:14 am on February 15th, 2009
I am just stunned – what the fuck the flashers on now thats Bright!
ya know she might be the coach and the event had been planned for awhile … you just can’t know when your baby will become sick.
But surely one of the staff or a parent could of helped her with her child…… she is plain fucking dumb and should be locked up for that alone.
Did you notice in the video she is about 2 feet taller then the high school girls …….. i thought 2+2 = 7 foot-basketball and the size of her neck…
7:20 am on February 15th, 2009
Hi Rachel, allow me to introduce myself.
I am nobody.
If I see your baby….in an unlocked vehicle…with the keys in it…..The next time you see your baby, he will be dead. I will have satiated my sick, twisted desires at his expense. You will ask God how this could have happened. Let me tell you now, God was not there when I raped your son over and over again.
So please, continue to leave you baby unattended in an locked, running car. I appreciate and applaud you efforts to defend your actions.
.
9:36 am on February 15th, 2009
As soon as grandma opened her stupid fucking mouth, I would have said “never mind” and called CPS to find other arrangements. No telling what else these two fuckwads think is “acceptable” when it comes to an infant!
Please back that up with some stats. Not ONE site I’ve looked at supports that claim.
10:10 am on February 15th, 2009
yeah like its saying (while its flashing) I am Rachel Kenney,I am rachel Kenney Come get this baby and this car, Dumb twat! Attention whore. lol
And where is Dad?
10:19 am on February 15th, 2009
I’m Rachel Kenny and both my mom and I are stupid bitches that need to be smacked across the head.
11:53 am on February 15th, 2009
Well THAT explains where she got her great parenting and safety skills from…
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh…..I get it.
LMFWAO! Where is the Indiana readers? When I made an Indiana comment, I got my ass chewed out and had to submit a public apology, lol. I happen to hate this chick in Indiana and the sound of her name or the word ‘Indiana’ makes my skin crawl, so when I see stupid & sick shit happen there, it just reaffirms my personal vendetta that there is no real beauty or sanity in Indiana. I, of course, am KIDDING…just throwing that out there. I have been to Indianapolis before for basketball finals (managed mens’ team in college, you know work study type ish) and had a ball. It’s not a bad place…
12:22 pm on February 15th, 2009
I am right here, Philly_phan… and I DID respond. I asked for the statistics she used to back up that statement. Everywhere I read, Indiana was not even in the top TEN of Meth use/abuse.
I don’t mind that people have “issues” with Indiana – as long as their issue is legit (for instance, if you said “Mitch Daniels is an asshole and a lousy Governor”, I’d have to agree with you
) But when it comes to an issue such as drug use/abuse, throwing the statement “Ya know what else, Indiana is the METH-HEAD capitol of the USA……” out there, seemingly just because you don’t like the state or the people, is just not cool (to put it mildly)
Hate Indiana all you want – but don’t state your opinion with the insinuation that it is a fact.
12:59 pm on February 15th, 2009
LOL
1:24 pm on February 15th, 2009
No, I am Rachel Kenny, dammit! And no one would DARE steal my car, baby, or money.
1:44 pm on February 15th, 2009
Hmmm… maybe she wanted the car & kid stolen. The auto insurance would cover the car, and Gerber might be the life insurance for the kid. Just a random thought…
3:26 pm on February 15th, 2009
If this school and surrounding area really is a small place where everybody knows everybody… Why would someone have called the police in the first place?
3:50 pm on February 15th, 2009
I love that her stupid quote (”I am Rachel Kenney!”) appears here as the title.
Anyway, she’s full of it…she left the car running/blinkers on to fool passers-by into thinking she was stepping out of the car for 30 seconds. And her excuse that leaving a baby alone in an unlocked car is safer than leaving a baby alone at home is just retarded. They’re exactly the same thing…except that the unlocked-car scenario is less safe.
3:56 pm on February 15th, 2009
Oops Sorry, I was basing my statement on a 2003 DEA report, seems my Home State now has that honor, Missouri ( for meth labs anyway) and that’s based on 2007 DEA Report….Still, per capita, Indiana’s meth problem rose 164% from 1997 to 2003! And our drug Czar, Asa Hutchinson decided that the “Meth in America” tour should start in Indiana & I read that headline before I read any further….. Also, I read a Government Study about Indiana receiving funds to be the very first state to offer “free” treatment facilities for meth addiction (called CLIFF) and so I assumed (Yep shouldn’t have done that) Indiana had the largest population of meth-heads….. Also, the story on Dateline about Ted Haggard (you know him, I’m sure) , he’s from Indiana, and there was a statement made about Indiana being honored with that title…..
You can read all the facts about different states here; http://www.usdoj.gov/dea/ongoing/methtour.html
My apologies for not posting the fact sheets & for offending anyone on D’D!!! That certainly wasn’t my intention…..
I’m still of the belief that ol’ Rach, should be piss-tested……
4:02 pm on February 15th, 2009
LOL@Dakota.
4:22 pm on February 15th, 2009
will the real rachel kenney please stand up so we can bitch-slap the stupid moron?!
5:08 pm on February 15th, 2009
No problem – apology accepted and information noted
AND appreciated. It sucks that stats are so slow to be updated. I think the most recent I found was from a few years back as well.
And Haggerd hails from just down the road. I’m in Muncie, he was born in Yorktown. {shiver} I love his line tho after the shit hit the fan – he said he is “Heterosexual with Issues” – LMAO! Toooo rich!
Yeah, she probably should and so should her mother. It’s unfathomable that one parent would think what she did is acceptable. let alone 2!
5:14 pm on February 15th, 2009
WTF? Why do I still continue to be amazed by fucktards like this! By now I should know the world is full of them, but yet, I continue to be surprised and amazed by the actions of our DD celebreties.
10:00 pm on February 15th, 2009
I just thought id throw in an interesting read about
“the meth capital of the world”
http://www.slate.com/id/2124051/
10:23 pm on February 15th, 2009
Wow! Thanks for that link my_2_Cents. I am in awe that states actually battled to be the meth capital – instead of the opposite! Why would anyone think that would be a badge to wear proudly? If your state IS the meth capital – hang your heads in shame and do something about it. Don’t have a pissing contest. Those are real live people addicted to, dying for/from and killing over this poison! Was there a prize involved?? WTF?
Fucking politicians. What’s next? Who shit the biggest turd after their 2 hour lunch at the buffet? Will they still vie for that title if I tell ‘em the “winner” has to eat them all?
Ok.. done ranting – heading off to bed! It’s painfully obvious that I’m tired! LOL
Nite!
10:48 pm on February 15th, 2009
Well, Ms Kenney, if you are admired and respected so much, I just can’t believe someone (lots of someones) wouldn’t have rushed to your aid and gotten a few brownie points (maybe even an autograph!)… geeze
10:57 pm on February 15th, 2009
“I am a raging fucktard”!
Gee most moms I know cuddle and comfort their NINE-MONTH OLD when he/she is sick. She should be sentenced to a hysterectomy.
11:12 pm on February 15th, 2009
Really? I mean really? If the ever so peppy Barbie on crack pic was not a blues clue the opening statement I am Blah blah blah no ones cares,dip shit!Slap a paw print on the bitch she is done!
5:26 am on February 16th, 2009
In the words of Larry the Cable Guy, “That right there was funny – I don’t care who you are!”
LMAO!
7:31 am on February 16th, 2009
Mhhmmm…. The game was more important then her sick child…the PEP RALLY GAME????? Is she a complete and utter dum dum or what?
I am Rachel Kenney the assistant basketball coach and Im kind of a bid deal ….God knows that high school assisant basketball coaches are the shiznit! …. Um ok…
Good point. Looks like she didnt think her justification all the way through. Could you imagine being one of the responding cops? I would have laughed in her face. What an idiot! Well ….all I can say is I hope her mother didnt get the baby back…she doesnt deserve it anymore then her daughter does and I really hope she doesnt ever get her child back.
You know what else I find rather scary? The fact that she was employed by the school. Granted, with no past criminal history there is no way to know what these people are capable of…but to think that this COULD involve our children! Wowzerz… Cant trust anyone anymore!
10:32 am on February 16th, 2009
Dumb ass bitch!
10:39 am on February 16th, 2009
I love her “there are cameras everywhere”… like the cameras are going to jump from their perches and stop a kidnapper? Do CPR if the child gets carbon monoxide poisoning?
Think of how many bank robbers manage to hide from cameras or the crappy images those cameras frequently get. All you would see is “someone” taking the baby. Big help… you would already know the kid was gone.
12:56 pm on February 17th, 2009
I’m the Jury, and your Guilty!
6:17 pm on February 18th, 2009
OK…if for whatever fucked up reason she HAD to be at the game, I’ll bet she could have found a couple of the teenage girls from the high school to look after the baby for an hour. There are alot of girls that probably would have JUMPED at the chance to play with and keep an eye on the baby.
I hope she is stripped of her mommy rights and that baby is put into a home where he will be loved and taken care of by someone who hasn’t had all her brain cells killed by hair bleach!
4:21 am on February 19th, 2009
So I am not even going to dare to defend her actions because what Rachel did was completely wrong and idiotic. But I would like to defend my hometown just a bit and say that you all might want to do a little research on Mooresville before you start throwing accusations around about drugs and whatnot. I graduated a year after Rachel, so yes I knew her, but I was not exactly close to her. Mooresville is a small town and if you play sports at the high school then you are very well known. Rachel is a very well known person in our town and that is why she said that, but by no means do I think that she should have EVER said that or even thought that because she is not as special as she obviously thinks she is. The feeling of safety and security is different between a small town and a city. I now live in a city and I would NEVER leave my car unlocked, not even if i was just running into the store for 5 minutes. But at home it is different. I am not saying that Mooresville doesn’t have any crime problems, but for people that have never left that town they feel safe and comfortable and like nothing in the world could go wrong there. It is a primarily white community, due to it being so close to Martinsville, and pretty much the only trouble you ever hear of is a little underage drinking or kids being out past curfew. I, along with all of my friends, have never seen meth in Mooresville so you can just throw that rumor out the window. I completely agree that she should have taken the baby inside because some kids are dying for a reason to get out of the pep rallys and they would have gladly watched the baby. i also agree that even though it is a small town that it was still dangerous for her to leave the baby in the car and that she is very naive to think otherwise. But please give the girl a break and stop slamming her left and right. She is paying the consequences and don’t you think that is enough? How would you feel if you made one mistake, which I do agree that this is a big one, and people started slandering you right and left? All we can do is learn from our mistakes, and other peoples, and move on. So please, move on!
4:38 am on February 19th, 2009
Nope.
Locking your keys in the car, that’s a mistake. Leaving your sick infant alone in the car so you can play basketball? That is irresponsible, idiotic, and neglectful.
If I was ever stupid enough to leave my infant alone in a car…with the engine running…I would deserve everything that I got and more.
8:34 am on February 19th, 2009
Mooresvillecitizen you are an idiot and must be naive yourself. Why would you even make a statement about it being a white community and that’s why there’s very little crime? What does that have to do with anything? So you – please move on!
9:04 am on February 19th, 2009
This lends to my suspicion that someone knew exactly whose car and baby that was – and rather than express their concerns, called the cops. *Someone* doesn’t like darling Rachel.
Just to play devil’s advocate here over a cleary offensive statement… Can we point to a locality in this country that has similar or lower crime statistics and is *not* majority white? Now, I think there are sociological elements at play that aren’t race behind this, but I suspect that superficially, it might be a fair observation.
9:28 am on February 19th, 2009
I’d like to know what definition of the word “slander” is being taught over there in Mooresville. No one is on here lying about Rachel Kenney.
She left her baby unattended in a car while she played basketball. That alone is enough to warrant a front page on this site. However, it appears that it was her “I am Rachel Kenney!” attitude that really put her here. I don’t give a damn who she is, and neither should the cops or anybody else. Anybody who leaves a baby unattended like that deserves to be arrested, and is damn lucky it didn’t turn out far worse. Personally, I’m sick to death of people who believe they are above the law and can do whatever they want based soley on what their name happens to be, who they know, or how well known they are within the community.
She could be from Mayberry, and she should still be counting her lucky damn stars right now. Not pitching a giant fit.
11:58 am on February 23rd, 2009
On that we are in agreement, whether she was wrong or idiotic.
So you’re claiming that if I were to piss test Mooresville I would not find people that lived there that had used any of the NIDA “Big 5″ in the preceding month?
I doubt it.
No doubt very well known to the residents of Mooresville, but not everybody in Mooresville is necessarily a resident. See, there are these things called “roads” that cross the country to provide a route for travel between locations — but Kenney knew about them; she has an automobile.
Google Earth puts Indianapolis 20 miles up the road. 20 miles is nothing. Do they know in Indianapolis who Rachel Kenney is?
I live outside a small metropolis. There are more assaults within the metropolitan area than there are outside it as well as more burglaries and robberies — but because the population is greater within corporate limits than outside the odds are actually worse that any individual person outside corporate limits will be victimized than any individual person inside corporate limits. Feelings and facts are not the same.
Prejudice much?
What color am I?
Funny, but the only times I have been burgled were when I lived in a “primarily white” community.
Methamphetamine doesn’t necessarily run a parade float up Main Street three times a day.
If I were to show you a picture of my high school senior class, could you pick out the speed freaks? Odds are you couldn’t, because your prejudices would keep you from thinking an athlete could be Doing Illicit Drugs — but I know half the football team, at least sporadically, was using methamphetamine. The only things that have changed between then and now, for all intents and purposes, is dinosaurs died out and the Internet has become all but ubiquitous. It still takes people until their late 20s to early 30s to finally discover they aren’t invulnerable.
She has people world-wide being sharply, even harshly, critical of her actions. She now knows that it is people — not The State, some monolithic construct with ineluctable, even impenetrable, logic, but living and breathing individual people — that are shocked, horrified, appalled, and upset over her actions. I wouldn’t know her if she walked up to me and asked me to dance, but if she were to introduce herself to me I would know she was the selfish, thoughtless, immature, naive entitlement princess from Mooresville.
Here it is: D’D, if I make the front page, let me have it. I will deserve it.
And I will tell you this too: truth is an absolute defense against an action for slander. For libel too, which is what you really mean. Slander is spoken lies; libel, written lies.
Ah, but are you sure that other people who may be tempted to leave a sick baby in their car while they go play a faculty/student basketball game have learned from Kenney’s mistake yet? I’m not.

Yeah, I know this is an old topic, but as a longtime lurker and a former Mooresville resident I got on here in the gleeful hope that someone had ripped Ms. Kenney a new ass. And mooresvillecitizen’s comment forced me out of lurkdom just this once so that I could give some realistic insight into Mooresville.
I’m not sure what fantasy town you have been living in, but Mooresville is a treasure trove of degenerates if you look hard enough. I worked with someone there who once spent over a thousand dollars on meth and invited some friends over to have a meth party. Another person I worked with there died of an OD. So while you and your bff’s were watching Hannah Montana, combing the hair of your My Little Ponies, and riding unicorns to school there were actually people doing drugs there. There are people doing drugs in every town in America. Even Mooresville. I guarantee it.
7:07 pm on February 24th, 2009
Cuppycake, I hope you change your decision, and remain out of lurkdom. Your post was written with such class and an enormous amount of intelligence, that I am standing and applauding your words! Thank you for setting the record straight and handing mooresvillecitizen’s ass to her on a shiny silver platter!
7:22 pm on February 24th, 2009
Well, thank you very much. I was afraid that the people on here would assume everyone from here is an idiot. I was horrified by her jaw-droppingly dumb parenting skills and kinda amused by her “I am Rachel Kenney” crap. She’s like the old football star turned loser that spends his whole life living the glory days, only she has a vagina. Guess what Rachel? Last time I checked Mooresville didn’t officially celebrate Rachel Kenney day. Only you.
As far as handing over asses on platters, it’s kind of a hobby of mine.
7:46 pm on February 24th, 2009
You’re a breath of fresh air, cuppycake.
For those interested in, say, crime info for Mooresville, Indiana, or any town or city across the U.S., this is a good resource.
It looks like Mooresville rates higher than the national average in terms of property crime, so, looks like Ms. Rachel was wrong… People do indeed steal cars there.
It kills me when vapid dolts are the ones breeding.
8:18 pm on February 24th, 2009
I think cuppycake is cool to the most as is AlwaysInFlyoverCountry! Rock on with your bad asses!
Loved your posts both of you
mooresvillecitizen, Wake up Alice you are in wonderland
