A woman convicted of drugging numerous children at her unlicensed day care and leaving them alone has been sentenced to more than 21 years in prison.
KTVZ reported that 32-year-old January Irene Neatherlin was sentenced Friday in an Oregon courtroom full of tearful parents.
Neatherlin was convicted of drugging the children on Melatonin to sleep while she went for a tan or to work out.
One family said their daughter suffered a brain injury in Neatherlin’s care, consistent with shaken baby syndrome.
