From the Daily Caller: An elementary school belonging to Texas’ Spring Independent School District (ISD) said Tuesday they placed two teacher aides on leave after drugging accusations surfaced.
Parents accused Northgate Crossing Elementary School of giving their children “sleepy stickers” meant for adults, KHOU 11 reported.
Lisa Luviano, the mother of a student at the school, claimed that parents were not notified about the alleged sleeping patches and that she learned about the issue when her 4-year-old daughter, Layne, smuggled one of the stickers home back in September. “The sticker makes me fall asleep,” Layne said.
“I showed it to my 4-year-old and she said, ‘Yes, that’s the sleepy sticker,’” Melissa Gilford, another parent, said. “They’re called Sleep Z Patch, and if you read the ingredients it has a lot of things I’ve never even heard of.”
Najala Abdullah observed changes in her son’s behavior since the start of school and that he would cry more than usual and eat less. “They’re giving them drugs to make them sleep to keep them quiet,” she added.
An updated report by KHOU-11 says the Spring Independent School District has now suspended four staff members.
