Two California teenagers were arrested for allegedly drugging one of the girl’s parents to get more time online. The daughter of the drugged parents have a cut off time on the internet, no surfing past 10pm. Apparently, that didn’t sit well with their daughter, who offered to get milkshakes from a local store and allegedly dropped prescription sleeping pills in the icy drinks.
Parents knocked out cold
The parents told police the milkshakes tasted a bit “grainy.” The effects of a few sips was enough to put both of them too sleep for four hours. According to the Huffington Post, the girls will be charged with conspiracy and ‘mingling pharmaceuticals with food.’
According to police, the teenager and her friend thought the internet policy was too strict.
“The girls wanted to use the Internet, and they’d go to whatever means they had to,” Lt. Lon Milka said.
The parents took a drug test kit, which the police department sells for $5, and tested positive for the sleeping aid, confirming their suspicious of the funny tasting milkshake.
Keeping parents in the dark
While most teens don’t go to this extreme, they do make attempts to keep adults in the dark about their lives. It almost seems as though teens use a language of their own. For example, high school students use a lot of code words to talk about drug use. How much do you really know about your teens conversations?
