Now that’s a net addiction

Stuff reports:

Police say two California teenagers used prescription sleeping medication to the milkshakes of their parents so they could use the internet.

The parents called police, and the 15-year-old girl and a 16-year-old friend were taken to Juvenile Hall in California.

The Sacramento Bee reports the girls offered to pick up milkshakes at a fast-food restaurant for the parents of one of the girls on Friday.

The drug was mixed into the shakes, and the couple fell asleep. The suspicious parents picked up a drug kit the following day.

The girls told investigators they wanted to use the internet, which the parents shut down daily at 10pm.

I'm not sure what is sadder – the girls drugging the parents, or the fact the parents suspected they had been drugged and rather than confront the girls, got a drug test done and had them arrested.
