An AFP news article, Parents of missing Maddie reject sedative allegations, reports
The parents of Madeleine McCann who disappeared in Portugal rejected Wednesday as “outrageous” allegations they gave their children sedatives, in their first interview since being named as suspects in the case.
I don’t know why that should be so outrageous. I know a doctor who routinely gave his young children cough medicine and other drugs to make them sleep or stop crying. It’s sick, but it happens all the time.
