Woman sentenced for drugging kids so she could tan, work out (https://nypost.com/2018/03/11/woman-sentenced-for-drugging-kids-so-she-could-tan-work-out/)She can workout in prison now for the next 21 yrs
A 32-year-old woman who abandoned young children — some just six months old — at her illegal day care in Bend, Oregon, to go tanning and to go do CrossFit has been sentenced to 21 years, four months in prison.
January Neatherlin was sentenced Friday after pleading guilty in February to 11 counts of first-degree criminal mistreatment and a count of third-degree assault.
Neatherlin was arrested last year after police found seven children younger than five left unattended at her center called Little Giggles.
Authorities said she forced the children to take melatonin to induce sleep before heading out to work on her self-care.
“She repeatedly administered a sleeping agent to a room full of infants, toddlers and children and drove off in her car to fulfill her narcissistic needs. There is no room in our society for monsters like this. January has no respect for human life,” one parent said, according to KTVZ (http://www.ktvz.com/news/day-of-reckoning-for-bend-day-care-owner-who-left-kids-alone/713998612).
According to KTVZ, Judge Wells Ashby highlighted the destruction Neatherlin’s actions caused the families. Ashby said the aftermath of her crimes led to broken relationships, behavioral problems and financial struggles.
One family said their daughter suffered a brain injury, consistent with shaken baby syndrome, while in Neatherlin’s care; other parents said their children were struggling to sleep after Neatherlin fed them the drug, according to KTVZ.
Neatherlin had been running the illegal childcare operation for about four years, and she also lied to parents about being a registered nurse, but had no such qualifications, according to The Oregonian (http://www.oregonlive.com/pacific-northwest-news/index.ssf/2018/03/bend_woman_gets_21_years_for_c.html).
