Daycare Owner Charged With Drugging Milk So That Kids Would Nap
This is absolutely terrifying! Sure, we all need a break every now and then – but a daycare provider drugging 16 kids under her care? Completely unacceptable. And frightening. Kimberly Lane, who owns Luv N Learning, has been arrested and charged with 16 counts of child endangerment after someone called authorities to say that she was mixing over-the-counter antihistamine with milk, according to the article. (Lane named her concoction “special milk.”)
The children under Lane’s care ranged in age from 20 months to four years old. She was issued a license to run her daycare last June, and it has been inspected seven times since then. MSNBC writes that three minor “deficiencies” were found in December, but that they were corrected that same month (the deficiencies were for staff records not having a signed affidavit, the director missing two of the required 20 hours of annual training, and a child’s records not having the required hearing and vision testing).
This is the last story moms want to hear during back-to-school season, that’s for sure.
