CINCINNATI -- Two former Ohio day care workers have been charged with giving children an over-the-counter dietary supplement to make them sleep.
Hamilton County Prosecutor Joseph Deters announced misdemeanor charges Wednesday against Pamela Hartley and Donna Scott in allegations that surfaced in December involving Springfield Township Covenant Apostolic Church Day Care in suburban Cincinnati.
A statement released from Deters' office says the women are accused of giving children the supplement melatonin to make them sleepy at nap time.
Hartley and Scott are charged with three counts of misrepresentation by a childcare provider and three counts of child endangering.
Parents told investigators their children often seemed groggy after coming from the day care.
