An Oregon man who drugged his daughter and her friends with fruit smoothies laced with a sleeping medication after they didn’t go to bed during a sleepover was sentenced to two years in prison.
Michael Meyden, a 57-year-old from the Portland suburb of Lake Oswego, apologized during his sentencing Monday after pleading guilty to three felony counts of causing another person to ingest a controlled substance, The Oregonian reported.
“My whole life is destroyed,” he told the court. “Everything that was important to me up until that point is gone.”
Every parent has had this thought at some point. I’ve even joked about it with other parents, but I never thought in a million years anyone would actually do it. I’ll admit to buying too much pizza and hoping the kids knock off early, but serving up benzo smoothies to 12-year-olds is fucking insane. He deserves what he gets, and should not be allowed near children without a lot of mandated therapy.
This was an attempted rape that didn’t get far enough for the courts to ‘prove’ it, but the girls report him trying to separate them after they were drugged. He wasn’t just trying to get them to quiet down.

wtf
WTF
Every parents nightmare is to get a message like this.
Everyone is making jokes in the comments.
But Fuck. This. Guy.
Yeah that message would haunt me for life.
The fact that he was repeatedly moving them away from each other while checking that they were still asleep, plus finally returned drunk??
“They were staying up too late and I wanted to go to bed” my ASS

Sorry I don’t give the benefit of the doubt to the man drugging girls in his home. What is he moving them for?
Could easily be a “Oh shit! What have I done? Need to check vitals.” situation.
I think what he did was wrong too. But over here we have that pesky innocent until proven guilty thing and I’m not wasting mental load on a hypothetical “What if?” dredged up by an internet stranger.
Just pointing out rape was not mentioned whatsoever in either article nor a charge in court, as that would certainly be reported. You made that up.

Linked elsewhere, but maybe you haven’t read the comments here.
Literally speculation?
You don’t wanna call it until you literally see him inside this 12yo or something?

I admit to giving my son melatonin as he went to bed. He had a hell of a lot of trouble staying asleep and after reading some research it seemed that he might be lacking that particular drug to help his brain stay asleep. This after his doctor came very close to killing him with overprescribing Abilify, to the point that the other psychiatrists called in to consult on his case were shocked at the dosage levels. He spent a week in the ICU on the edge of death. I should have not been satisfied with that doctor getting his license revoked, and instead pursued criminal charges, but alas, he’s dead now. Not my son, the doctor. My son is flourishing.
that was a rollercoaster and a half
Username checks out
You know, after the last 20 years of having this name I should be used to it, but I have not ever tried cocaine or crack.
Not with that attitude!

Band name.
Nope. That’s psycho shit
Psychos act on those dangerous or impulsive thoughts. Having the thought is human. Talking about it is healthy.
Speak for yourself… I have never had the thought of drugging my kid so they sleep early
For starters, the entire point of a sleepover as a kid is to stay up late, chat, eat garbage food and watch tv/video games or whatever. I have never heard of anyone wanting a sleep over so they can go to bed early in someone else’s home.
I don’t even get what the deal is with people and strict bed times; let alone during a sleepover. If you don’t want your kid to go to bed late, tell them they cannot have a sleepover.
