According to local reports a daycare owner has been arrested for allegedly giving children antihistamines with milk to put them to sleep in Val Alsytne Texas. Kimberly Lane was arrested Thursday September 8 on 16 counts of child endangerment for the suspected drugging of the children ages 20 months to four-and-a-half years old at the Luv N Learning daycare.

Commentary
Working parents drop their kids off at daycare with the assumption the business is safe for their children. This type of behavior from an owner is anything but safe. A third party investigation should be conducted including testing drug levels in the children. If the reports are accurate and the woman used antihistamines to put children to sleep this inexcusable action could open liability in multiple personal injury claims. I cannot tell you have grateful we all should be these are only personal injury claims. Drug overdosing can occur from antihistamines with a particularly higher risk to children. While antihistamines are perfectly fine for people to take they must be taken with proper dosage. It would not surprise me to find children who were given more than the proper dosage of medication all in the name of a nap.
This is just a very frustrating story that could have been much worse if police did not stop this behavior.
