A Bend day care owner who had been accused of slipping children melatonin so that she could hit the gym and go tanning was sentenced to 21 years and four months in prison by a Deschutes County judge Friday.
January Neatherlin, 32, had been running an illegal childcare operation called Little Giggles for approximately four years and pleaded guilty to 11 counts of first-degree criminal mistreatment and one count of third-degree assault, according to court records. She had also lied to parents about being a registered nurse, even though she had no such qualifications.
Bend police, based on tips provided by a former boyfriend and a former roommate, surveilled Neatherlin last March and saw her leave the house twice while she was supposed to be watching seven children.
She drove her kids to school on the first trip. On the second, police found her at a local Tan Republic.
The children who had been left in her care during those excursions had the sleep aid melatonin in their systems, according to a sentencing memo.

Self-absorbed skank.
You spelled looker wrong.
This is extremely strange. She could have just looked after the kids and no one would have been the wiser about licensing, credential issues, etc. But she had to screw her customers over.
Isn’t that the gal from House Flippers?
looks like 10 miles of bad road.
Guilty or not guilty, can someone ping laz.
*snort*
She certainly thinks much of herself
How about, "Little Snores"?
Anyone that would ping Laz on this one has no regard for their personal safety.
And yet Hillary still walks free.
Joanna Gaines? Sort of right?
ya spelled sh!t wrong
“Court documents filed by the state describe her as having an “on-going, systematic scheme of doing what she wanted and getting what she wanted, without any concern for the danger she was placing others in.””
one of the hallmarks of a sociopath ...
Oh yeah, I want to leave my kids with her.....NOT!
If you liked her looks, would that change anything?
Should I have spelled it with an H?
Road hard and put away wet.
