Parents to be tried in death of infant son

This is so sad and it really hit close to home-so many friends of mine give their children some type of medicine to make them drowsy and i think it is just so sad. I have 4 children and in all the time of being a parent i have never just given any of my babies medicine. Hell i get scared when the doctor gives them a presciption because i dont know the effects it could cause. Its sad for this baby and i also hope that they get the punishment they deserve.

That is sad, I thought benadryl is used for colds and flu not for putting a child to sleep... awww this is sad alright.

oh, that's so scary. Especially as these particular parents should have known better. I bet there are a lot of parents out there who don't actually know better, and it's sad to think about.

hey its really sad and shocking to know this....Parents from Medical background who r completely aware of these things doing such a thing....

No self-respecting parents would ever do such a thing, Lifez! I shudder when I think of how horribly infants and children are being abused these days. They are treated as nothing more than property.

That is so sad. Something like that happened out here. A couple in the medical profession forgot their baby in the car. She passed away... Poor babies...

Why do people do things like that knowing that it is harmful. I do know that we had a daycare here that was shut down for doing the same thing. It is sad that they felt they needed to do this and in return no longer have a son. They really should have known better.

Thats horrible. I had someone make a comment like that to me once. He's fairly young and has no kids and was completely joking. But it irritated me. I told him I couldn't go to a late night training because there was no one to watch my daughter. He told me to give her half a prozac and that would knock her out. I told him he shouldn't even joke about stuff like that. I think every parent would admit that when their kids are sick and screaming or won't quiet down, its nice when their medicine kicks in and they quiet down...but I would never give it to them unless they were really sick. I can't believe parents would do that purposely.
