Date rape drug

Okay, kiddo, let me explain what a date rape drug is. Sometimes, bad people will try to hurt someone else by putting a medicine in their drink or food. This medicine can make the person feel very sleepy and not able to think clearly or move their body very well. This is called a date rape drug because it can be used to do very bad things to someone without their permission, like touching them or hurting them. If someone ever tries to give you a drink or food that doesn't seem right, it's important to say no and tell a grown-up you trust right away. Remember, your body belongs to you and no one has the right to touch it without your permission.
