You speak about "rights" and sedating children in the same thought?
Ummm, ok. I hope that you never actually try this on your children.</font>
It was SOP when I was a kid. If my younger sister acted up in church or on a plane, my mom would take her out to a quiet area and calm her. If that failed, she'd give her the recommended dosage of paregoric or dimetapp (children's medicines). This invariably did the trick as I recall, and I'm told it did the same for me at an early age.
