"PITTSBURG Police here arrested a 36-year-old man and took custody of his three young children after a school counselor reported that he had drugged his eldest daughter, then placed a needle into her arm to take her blood. When police responded to the shocking report on Feb. 3, authorities say they immediately found a disturbing sign the allegations were true: one young child slurring his speech and appearing lethargic, while another was unconscious in the middle of the day, and didn't immediately respond to stimuli."
"The man allegedly resisted arrested but was detained by several officers, on suspicion of child abuse and possessing an eighth of an ounce of methamphetamine, according to the arrest records. One of the children later told authorities that the father had stuck needles in her arm as she slept on two occasions, using a vial to draw blood, according to police. She added that he would mash up an unknown substance and stick in the children's food or drinks, causing lethargy, authorities said."
