Former Indiana daycare principal accused of giving children melatonin gum

GREENFIELD, Ind. (AP) — A former preschool principal in suburban Indianapolis is facing multiple charges after being accused of giving children melatonin gum without parental consent to make them sleep.

Tonya Rachelle Voris, 52, of Fortville, faces 11 counts of neglect of a dependent and six counts of reckless supervision by a child care provider.

Voris previously ran the Kidz Life childcare ministry at New Life Church in Cumberland, court documents show.

Pastor David Faulk told Cumberland police he learned Voris and another employee gave 17 children, ages 1 to 4, melatonin gum without parental consent from mid-December to late December, January , according to court documents.

Faulk told police he fired Voris after she admitted giving melatonin gum to some of the children. Faulk said the other worker was still employed at the daycare.

Several parents told police their children were having problems, including trouble sleeping and developing a rash.

Jail records show Voris was booked into the Hancock County Jail on Monday and released on bond. A phone message seeking comment on the allegations against her was left with her attorney Tuesday night.
