A New Hampshire daycare worker who drugged kids by lacing their food with melatonin won’t serve any jail time, per a court sentencing decision Monday.
According to the Hillsborough North Superior Court docket seen by Fox News Digital, Dreckmann, 53, pleaded guilty to falsifying physical evidence and reckless conduct.
Judge Amy Messer handed down a suspended sentence of up to seven years in prison.
Messer barred Dreckmann from operating or working in any form of daycare and from having unsupervised contact with children under 18, except for her own family.

Prosecutor, Shawn Sweeney said the case highlighted a dangerous loophole in New Hampshire law, per Boston.com.
“It’s like a blind spot in the law,” Sweeney told the outlet and explained that endangering the welfare of a child is not always treated as a felony.
A bill to strengthen the statute was also rejected by local lawmakers in May over concerns it might criminalize ordinary parental mistakes.
Without the legislative changes, Sweeney added, lighter sentences are often inevitable: “Without the law to back us up, we get what we get,” she said.
Fox News Digital reached out to the New Hampshire Judicial Branch, whose spokesperson said: “We do not comment on individual cases.”
