Authored by theguardian.com

An Oregon man who drugged his daughter and her friends with fruit smoothies laced with a sleeping medication after they didn’t go to bed during a sleepover was sentenced to two years in prison.

“Everything that was important to me up until that point is gone.”.

He said he planned a fun sleepover last summer for his daughter and three of her friends, all then age 12, but they didn’t go to bed by 11pm as he wanted.

Meyden said he wanted them well rested for the next day, but he also wanted them to go to bed so he could sleep.

The family friend picked up the girl and woke her parents, who then contacted the families of the other girls.

“No decent parent feels the need to drug their own child and her friends,” one of the girl’s mothers told Meyden during sentencing.

No decent parent puts their hands on drugged and unconscious young girls without nefarious intent. »
