SPRING, Texas (KHOU) – Parents of preschoolers in Texas say they are shocked after finding out their children were given sleep aids by their teachers.
They said their children told them they were given “sleepy stickers” that would make them fall asleep.

The patches in question are sleep aids containing melatonin, among other ingredients, and intended for adults.
One of the children at the school, 4-year-old Layne Luviano, broke the case open in September when she snuck one of the stickers out of the classroom.
“She kind of pulled up her little shorts and said, ‘Mom, look this is my sleeping sticker,’ and I was like, what?” Layne’s mother, Lisa Luviano, said.
The reported incident happened at Northgate Crossing Elementary School.
Layne’s parents said they weren’t informed about the sleep aids and Lisa Luviano took matters into her own hands.
She reached out to the other parents and sent them pictures of the patch to see if their kids were getting the stickers too.
Melissa Gilford, whose daughter also attends the school, said her 4-year-old immediately recognized the sticker.
“If you read the ingredients … it has a lot of things I’ve never even heard of,” she said.
Fellow parent, Najala Abdullah, said she also noticed changes in her son’s behavior, who told her that he was also given the patches.
“They were giving them drugs to make them sleep to keep them quiet,” she said.
According to Abdullah, her son had been crying, he stopped eating and was bringing home lunches he hadn’t touched.
Northgate Crossing Elementary School’s principal said two staff members have since been placed on leave after allegedly providing sleeping supplements to students.
The school principal also stated that the district’s police department is investigating.
School district officials said that giving any substance not authorized violates the district’s policy.
