I hope you're sitting down as you read this, because I almost fell off my chair when I read what a 15-year-old in California did to her parents with the help of her 16-year-old friend in order to have their way: The wily girls put sleeping pills in a milkshake they made for the unsuspecting parents, effectively drugging them, knocking them completely out, so that once they were asleep they could cruise on the Internet with no parental interference.
My God! Don't tell me you're not freaked out. And that's not the worst part. Read on…
According to the parents, it's not the first time their daughter and her friend have done this. Frustrated because after her 10 p.m. curfew the could not be on the Internet any longer, the 15- and 16-year-old girls concocted an evil plan to drug the parents.
Yes, you're reading correctly. The truth is that I don't even know how I would react if I were in a situation like this one. The two girls now face charges for " conspiracy and willfully mingling a pharmaceutical into food," according to the U.K. Daily Mail.
Because they're underage, they're lucky that they were charged only as juveniles, but it's now up to the District Attorney to decide if the crime merits that they be charged as adults.
You have to really look hard at what they did, because nothing–NOTHING–justifies that these teens actually drugged these parents so they could circumvent their curfew and the rules. Besides, the premeditated way in which they carried out their whole plan tells me these are some twisted minds, to say the least.

Although the parents admit that the concoction that the girls gave them did taste funny, the victims drank it without thinking too much into it, and immediately fell asleep. They woke up the next day at 1 a.m., and realized something strange had happened. They immediately went to the police station where they took a drug test (usually reserved to test teenagers for substance abuse) that confirmed their fears: they had been drugged!
I'm not sure what I would do if this had happened to me. I do know that I would never EVER be able to trust a child who is capable of doing something like this. For now, we wait to see how these girls will be charged.
