A Forsyth daycare teacher turned herself into law enforcement after she was accused of giving Benadryl to toddlers, according to the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office. A co-teacher allegedly witnessed the teacher giving the medicine to children around 2-and-a-half years old on March 5 at Forsyth Methodist Church.

The sheriff’s office said the children were just over 2 years old and need to be at least 6 to take the medicine “without supervision of a doctor or in an emergency.”
