So, I'm writing this to get it off my conscience and my chest...Im going to write the punch line so I can rest for the day. I will write the whole story at a later date.
I dated Amanda Houmiel starting in the quarter 3 of 2013. We met at the Orange Park Mall. She was selling my her pills and I immeadiately fell in love. This is where the story goes hokey.
Unable to speak or think is how I felt when I first met her. But looking back at it now, it’s a little more real. I was meeting her to buy her pills. Opiods for sure but she metioned she had Adderall as well. It was a match made in heaven. Man, that was a good night. But I digress.
She invited me to go into the mall with her to pick out some clothes. Recently out of a long term relationship I was on the rebound, so to speak. Jumping at the opportunity I followed her in. We chatted and had a nice time. She mentioned she was married at the mall. In hindsight, I probably should have stopped right there. Now 13 years on, it’s a pain that never leaves me. Sometime soon maybe that night, I’m not sure. But, I ended up over at the house she was staying at. Shelby’s house, with a very angry man named, Chuck. She offered to give me a massage and I said ok. Welp within 30 seconds Chuck busted in and violently kicked me out of the house. He yelled but never touched me thankfully. I rode away on my motorcycle.
One or two days later, Mandy moves into my house. Stupid in hindsight. But what can I say. I’m a nice guy. The offer was the extra bedroom. But it never turned out that way. Not to my doing. But who knows what she tells people. We took a photo that night. This is when things get weird.
We have a whirlwind of a relationship and it ends right about here.
What happened to Kaylen Marie Houmiel?
Long story short and a lot of drama and trauma later, we decided to sleep one night together. Amazing considering we were sleeping opposite schedules. the 12hrs she slept was the 12hrs I was awake. And vis versa. I woke up to Kaylen screaming "MOMMY!". I jolted awake and had to wake Mandy. She immeadiately woke without emotion and sat up erect in bed and started after Kaylen. She swiped her up so quickly I got noticeably perturbed. I yelled "What the FUCK?!" She continued into the living room. I followed hastily. What I saw next plagues me to this day. I came into the living room just in time to watch Mandy throw her daughter 8 feet onto the couch. The problem with this is Kaylen hit her head on the wood of the back support of the cheap sectional sofa. I admittedly freaked! I yelled at Mandy "What the fuck are you doing?" As she walked by and went straight back to bed. Like a person in a trance. She didnt even recognize I was even speaking to her.
I took care of Kaylen for the rest of the night until she finally fell asleep again. I took her to her bed and kissed her on the forehead good night. I struggled with reporting the incident. During this time the child's adoptive father came and retrieved the youngling with a court order. When I mustered the will to call the authorities. I mistakenly called DCF. They said since the child was no longer in the state and therefore in danger of Mandy hurting her again, they would not pursue a criminal case.
The statute of limitations on child abuse with grievous bodily harm in the state of Florida is unlimited. I called the Clay County Sheriff's Office after losing sleep on the subject for 3 months. It was 13 years later but the statute stands. The CCSO deputy told me they would not pursue a case cause there was no way to investigate after 13 years. I asked him about the DCF call and response and he had nothing good to say.
Kaylen Houmiel as I remember her.
