Sisters drug
their parents
Police say two California teenagers used a prescription sleeping drug to spike the milkshakes of too-strict parents so they could log on to the internet.
The girls offered to pick up milkshakes at a fast-food restaurant and then mixed the drug into the shakes and the couple fell asleep.
The parents picked up a drug test kit the following day. The girls, who were taken to a youth detention centre, told investigators they wanted to use the internet, which was shut down daily at 10pm.
