A SOCCER fan in northern China's Tianjin Municipality drugged his one-year-old son with sleeping pills so that he could watch a World Cup match at night in peace.
Police were called in when the baby's mother found her son would not wake up for a whole day after she returned home from night shift on Monday.
Luckily, doctors said the kid would be fine once he woke up, the Nanjing-based Modern Express News reported yesterday.
The father surnamed Zhang confessed to police that he smashed a sleeping pill and spiked the baby's milk formula with the powder to keep the baby quiet ahead of the crucial match between Germany and England.
He said the baby insisted on playing with him and, with his wife on night shift, in exasperation he thought of using his father's sleeping pills.
Zhang's plan was successful as his son, jumping up and down minutes ago, fell into a deep slumber.
But things turned ugly the next morning when the baby's mother came back home and found that she could not wake her son up. They waited for 12 more hours before rushing the baby to hospital. The couple had a bitter quarrel afterwards.
