Three toddlers in ICU after being given adult sleeping pills

Three toddlers have ended up in the intensive care unit after they were given adult sleeping pills.

It is alleged that the children went to have their tonsils removed but a student nurse gave the children an adult sleeping pill called Dormicum.

The children then started to scream, cry, hallucinate and they went into various states of hysteria.

A child psychologist is now treating a five-year-old and two two-year-olds following the incident at the Netcare Clinton Hospital earlier this month.
