An Oregon woman who was caught running an unlicensed daycare center has been sentenced to 21 years and four months in prison for reportedly giving the children in her care melatonin, a hormone supplement that induces sleep, while she skipped off to go tanning and take Cross Fit workout classes.
According to The Oregonian, 32-year-old January Neatherlin plead guilty to “11 counts of first-degree criminal mistreatment and one count of third-degree assault” after being exposed for her crimes, which involved operating a fake daycare center known as “Little Giggles” that was little more than a front operation for her self-centered escapades.
After being tipped off by a former boyfriend and a former roommate, police in Bend began to surveil Neatherlin to see what she did during daycare hours. One on occasion, they reportedly observed her leaving the house twice while she was supposed to be watching seven children. The first trip involved taking the kids to school; but the second involved making them fall asleep while she went and bronzed at a local Tan Republic.
Neatherlin apparently told the parents of her daycare children that they could not come to pick up their children between the hours of 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. because these were “nap time” hours. But official police records show that Neatherlin was either at Tan Republic turning herself brown or at a local Cross Fit gym pumping iron and doing burpees.
At least one of the daycare children also suffered injuries at one point after Neatherlin reportedly gave the child a bottle of milk that was too hot. The child was taken to a hospital in Portland after suffering multiple head injuries.
After being arrested back in March, Neatherlin even tried to approach her fellow inmates to ask them to claim that they had worked for her. She also wrote letters to former inmates asking them for bail money and promising to pay them back from offshore accounts worth “a lot of money.” (MORE)
