Thank goodness for the family friend who responded expediently and saved the children from whatever nefarious intentions that Meyden had. Every time I hear this case I am beyond impressed with the wherewithal and quick-thinking of the girl who was suspicious of the goings-on of Meyden's behaviour at the sleepover. She is the true hero of this story.

He could be just a lazy babysitter. Day cares get busted for drugging kids so they'll sleep all the time.

[@heidinotheidi]

Yes! The teen trusted her gut!!

[@heidinotheidi]

​@jackchop1576 If that were the case, he wouldn't take the one girls arm off the other, and check them for breathing. If you don't want teenagers keeping you up all night, don't have sleepovers.

I agree. Terribly.

[@LadyCarolina13]

The young girl who called her mom, is someone to be proud of. She spoke up and did what was right. Parents talk to your kids tell them…no matter what time it is or where you’re at, you as the parent will come get them. We all think our kids know that, but having a conversation about it, makes sure they understand it.

[@heidinotheidi]

Yes!! Thank goodness she didn't second guess her gut feeling. I love that she didn't give up either. She just kept texting adults she trusted.

[@TRSTNO1C]

Makes me wonder if he used it on his own daughter in the past...creep.

This sleepover was not his first rodeo.

[@swill922]

All the girls should’ve joined the lawsuit. Deserves compensation for his creepy inappropriate behavior. If not for the young girl following her intuition he probably would’ve abused them.

[@minutesnippet]

Calling him creepy is offensive to creeps. I've got a couple of special words if call him rather.

[@TT_09]

I agree, they should join the lawsuit, however it’s possible some of the girls may still be processing their own trauma. Maybe they have moved to a new town, have no memory of the event due to being drugged, etc.

[@snowwhite2524]

My Dad made my friends and I dinner and yelled at us from the bottom of the stairs when it was time to eat. My Dad avoided us like the plague and my Mom checked on us. I feel like that's the normal sleepover dynamic between parents and daughters.

It's also deeply concerning, imo, that 24 months was considered appropriate for his horrific, calculated, reckless behaviour towards children at their most vulnerable.

It’s so hard at this age though because there’s so much pressure from your child and the other kids to let them spend the night and you think their safety and numbers and it’s just a tough call you. No one should have to ever worry about the situation, but it’s just thefacts now. I feel sorry for his daughter too. I mean that poor girl

[@twatts1523]

My mother was never allowed to sleep over or have her friends sleep over, and all her siblings were 10-15 years older than her. So she knew how it felt to miss out on fun sleepovers. I was allowed to do sleepovers, but she would always have to know the family and talk to the others moms about all the details.

I do know of lots of people who will definitely have seizures when they take benzos. It's a major no-no to give anyone your prescribed medications, especially like that.

[@alphaeba2233]

24 Months???? WTF?????

[@Eeveelyn]

It's so scary to know that he will be back out. It's obvious what his goal was, but the system is designed to wait until he's successful at it. The amount of planning he did for this. He must have researched how this medication works, known the dangers and still decided to give it to them. Clearly he knew it could cause them to stop breathing or why else would he have put a finger under a girls nose to check her breathing?

My stepdad was so awesome. We were talking about something like this that happened (not like this, but you know…something suspicious). He was saying that when his daughter’s friends would come over and he’d toss them into the pool. (I’m summarizing for brevity). He said it was fine when they were little but as they grew older they’d want to be tossed and he was like - uh no. He and I were talking and he said, it would just look bad or be misconstrued. Regardless of intent you have to be thoughtful about what you do, and how it might be perceived. This guy was so predatory and it’s very clear his intent. There’s only one reason to drug girls at a slumber party. And we all know what that is.
