Judging by the weekend school Youth Hostel trips I went on as a child, on the first night no-one got much sleep; although after the Saturday outside, the second night was usually a lot quieter.
My guess is that the chap wanted a peaceful night and was prepared to break the law to get it. Pretty risky/stupid though, as without knowing the victims medical history he would have had no idea what side effects could result.

Yep, stupid, but now it doesn't sound "as bad" as I imagined it would be from the very brief news headlines you hear on LBC. I thought he'd fed them arsenic or something.

THIS DOESN'T MEAN I APPROVE OF THE DEFENDANT'S ACTIONS! THIS DOESN'T MEAN I APPROVE OF THE DEFENDANT'S ACTIONS! THIS DOESN'T MEAN I APPROVE OF THE DEFENDANT'S ACTIONS!
It reminds me of the story where a nightshift nurse had surprisingly few calls through the night - turns out she was giving the patients sleeping pills! (IIRC it was in a care home but I forget.)

Again, I definitely think it was a stupid thing to do. He's clearly in the wrong job/business if that's how he manages kids.

The best way to calm a child at the end of the day is to rock them to sleep. Although that rather assumes that one has the appropriately sized rocks to hand!
That’s appalling, inappropriate and incredibly dark. You should be ashamed to have posted that.I’ve stolen it for my friends.
