Two Georgia women who ran a day care service were arrested after police accused them of dosing several young children with Benadryl and melatonin before naps.

Stacie Fuller Young, 51, ran a day care business out of her home in Gainesville, a city some 55 miles northeast of Atlanta, with her daughter-in-law Ptiery Verby-Sunshine Edge, 35. According to the Hall County Sheriff’s Office, a parent of one of the children they cared for started noticing that the child’s behavior changed in October 2024, describing them as “lethargic” and “irritable.”

Blood work conducted on two of the children in December revealed “high” levels of the allergy medication Benadryl and the sleep aid melatonin.
