Would You Drug Your Child for Control?

On SlashDot.org I found an article that references a device that delivers drugs to a child to keep the child sedated in home settings. Here is the link to the device. I find this device scary.

As I'm writing this, I just remembered a situation from around 1971 when I worked a summer job as an Allied mover in NY. I overheard a medical doctor, while I helped move his family in Connecticut, remark that he had given his infant a sleeping drug to allow the baby to be quiet during the family's upcoming driving trip. I found that situation incredulous at the time as well as now.
