A Georgia woman and her daughter-in-law are facing charges for allegedly giving children at their home-based daycare sleep-inducing allergy medicine and melatonin at naptime.

According to reports, years ago, a 51-year-old woman opened a home daycare center in North Hall County, and her daughter-in-law, 35, worked there with her. The state of Georgia prohibits unlicensed individuals from charging a fee to provide care for more than two youngsters. It was reported that the women were caring for multiple children, but the Department of Early Childcare and Learning said that they have no record of the owner obtaining a license.
