A woman who pleaded guilty in 2018 to involuntary manslaughter in the death of one of her infant sons, has been sentenced for violating her probation.
Christy Rollings, 42, pleaded guilty in 2018 to involuntary manslaughter and four counts of endangering a child in the death of her son, Patrick Kempton, who was two months old.
Police investigators said that Rollings and the baby’s father, Kyle Kempton, were drunk in a west Wichita hotel and awoke to find one of their twins, Patrick, not breathing.
According to court documents, Rollings violated her probation due to several incidents between October 27, 2021, and January 11, 2022, including failing to report to scheduled probation meetings, failing to re-engage in substance abuse treatment after a relapse, and failure to report for a urine analysis.
Judge Dave Dahl ordered Rollings to serve 120 days in the Kansas Department of Corrections. After Rollings’ serves that time, her probation will be reinstated. The judge also ordered an additional year of probation.
