A day care owner and three of her employees in New Hampshire turned themselves in to authorities after being accused of sprinkling melatonin on children’s food, Manchester police said. The owner of the day care, Sally Dreckmann, 52, and the employees — Traci Innie, 51; Kaitlin Filardo, 23 and Jessica Foster, 23, all of Manchester — are charged with 10 counts each of endangering the welfare of a child, police said in a Facebook post last week.
Melatonin helps with circadian rhythms, the body’s 24-hour internal clock, and with sleep, the federal agency said. Melatonin supplements are frequently marketed as a sleeping aid, but the NIH cautioned there aren't many studies on the effects of melatonin on children. Melatonin is available over the counter and is generally safe to use in the short-term, and unlike with some sleep medications, users are unlikely to become dependent on it, according to the Mayo Clinic.
