Staff members at a primary school in Texas were recently placed on leave after putting so-called “sleeping stickers” on preschoolers during nap time, officials at the school in question said this week.

The allegations came to light in late September after one of the children came home from school with a sticker to show their mom.

That sticker was in the shape of a square, with rounded edges, a pale purple background, and a glow-in-the-dark-looking design of a crescent moon among the starry night, two clouds passing by.

Now, parents say the suspensions of the various employees allegedly responsible are not enough. They want criminal charges filed. School officials say their own law enforcement apparatus is now on the case.
