Even if the child doesn't die, the mere fact that you are giving him or her something bad, you should go to jail for it!

I googled Dr. Yin's study. Can you iagine that out of the 160 cases, 14% of the children in these cases suffered from moderate to major ill effects? 18 of these died! 17 of the died from sedatives. It is telling us that parents who do this are just not fit to be parents! They don't even consider that a child's body is not like theirs, that these drugs could severely harm them if not kill them.
