I would have thought the daycare would have gotten a consent form from the parent before accepting them into the daycare.



they would have but even if there was a signature it is not legally possible to consent to something that is not legal,,,,

so they may have signed something that gave the center permission to administer medical aid,, but not sleep aids.


I know. But while we are speculating, maybe the daycare got a consent form allowing over the counter meds for sleep aids. No it wouldn't apply to the less than 1 year olds.

this doesn't surprise me. I would bet stuff like this happens more then we know.

Imagine that... you drop your kid off and you think they are nice and safe and someone is giving them medicine without your consent or knowing the kids medical history.

Shut them down and charge whoever did it with endangering a child


it does, I have listened to alot of 'tricks' mothers used to get kids to sleep,, this happens to be one actually,,,,,,


but were not talking about a mother. Were talking about someone a mother hired to care for her kid while she was at work. A person that did not have the authority to give the child any type of medication to make them fall a sleep. A person that does not know the kids medical history.

If they had the authorization, this would not be in the news, so clearly they upset the parents by doing this.

Bottom line, they were hired to care for the kids... not medicate them without permission.

well, the care center is responsbile for their children in the parents absence,, so they are like the parent by proxy,,,,


and care centers USUALLY require a medical history to sign the child up,, but I am not familiar enough with THIS center to know what transpired between the parents and the center prior to this incident


at this point, people are throwing out the 'possibilities'

A former employee of Sue’s Day Care in Durant, Oklahoma, tipped off the Oklahoma Department of Human Services and the Bryant County Sheriff's Office that the facility's owner was ordering workers to give infants liquid Benadryl, an over-the-counter allergy medicine, to help them go to sleep at nap time, they said

I would think if permission was in fact given then the 2 entities about would not be involved.. don't you?

There is no mention of any child needing this medicine for its intended purpose., but there is mention of it being administered for reasons that it was not meant for. By people ( workers) who are not qualified to give other peoples children medicine.

And Benadryl has side affects in kids, especially infants ( which the charge implies the medicine was given to) and especially if the correct dosage is not followed.

But here it appears they had " workers" spooning Benadryl into infants mouths. Did they check their age?.. their weight? Their background?

Doesn't look like they did

And I would think, that is why their doors are locked right now.
