CINCINNATI, OH (FOX19) - A woman is going to jail for giving a dietary supplement to children at a day care in order to get them to sleep.
Pamela Hartley, 56, was convicted of three counts of child endangering and three counts of misrepresentation by child care provider after investigators found she was giving Melatonin to children at the Springfield Township Covenant Apostolic Church Day Care.
Hartley has been sentenced to six months in jail and three years of community control. As part of her sentence, she is not allowed to be employed as a child care provider and she has had her certification license revoked by the state of Ohio.
A second worker at the day care, Donna Scott, is facing the same charges. She will go to trial on Aug. 30.
