| Subject: Rights violation: One in 5 OZschwitz families admits using sedative drugs, including Phenergan, on their children for quieter road trips Sat Apr 04, 2015 10:28 pm | |
| One in five NSW families are doping their children with medication to keep them quiet on long road trips, a new national study of motorists has revealed.
The driving survey, commissioned by insurer GIO, shone a light on the behaviour of 3700 parents, including 600 within NSW, who embark on extended road journeys.
While four in five families give youngsters hand-held computer games, including iPads, and 70 per cent keep treats up their sleeve, 18 per cent of NSW drivers admit to tranquillising their children with drugs that sedate - such as the antihistamine Phenergan - to make the journey more comfortable.
