Teenage Girls Allegedly Drug Parents To Avoid Internet Curfew

Teenagers do some crazy things to get what they want but two California girls went a step too far and ended up getting arrested after they  drugged their parents on New Year’s Eve so that they could escape an internet curfew. The teenagers allegedly put sleeping pills into the milkshake of one of the parents which both the parents ended up consuming. The Rocklin, California police who are investigating the matter claim that the teenagers drugged their parents because they felt their internet curfew was too strict. The parents would turn off access to the families WiFi connection after 10pm.

 

“The unsuspecting parents consumed only about a quarter of their shakes thinking that they tasted very odd,” the local police reported. they also added, “However, they consumed enough of the medicine for it to take effect within an hour and fell asleep. The parents did not awake until the following morning and did not remember what had occurred.”

 

A local newspaper, the Sacramento Bee, interviewed the police and was told that the parents did wake up in the middle of the night but felt groggy and had headaches. This got them worried enough to go to the drug store and a purchase a $5 drug test kit.  Lt. Lon Milka, a Rocklin police spokesperson, explains that “Many parents buy them and have their kids’ urine tested.”

 

In this case the suspecting parents used the drug test on themselves and realized they had been drugged. The two parents ended up contacting the police who arrested the teenage girls immediately. They were charged conspiracy and willfully mingling a pharmaceutical with food.

 

Since the 15- and 16-year-old girls are minors their identities are not being revealed after they were booked at Placer County Juvenile Hall on December 31, 2012. The teenagers may be lucky that they are minors because as Milka explains, “The girls wanted to use the Internet, and they’d go to whatever means they had to. If they were adults, they could be facing prison time.”
