A dad is accused of giving his daughter's friends drinks mixed with drugs at a sleepover in a bid to test them.

One of the 12 year old girls says her friend's dad gave her a mango smoothie mixed with drugs during a sleepover and the dad from Oregon was "testing" the kids to see if they were awake while pretending to be asleep.

The girl sent a text message to a family friend asking for help, saying that the 57 year old dad was making her and two other girls drink smoothies mixed with a drug that slows down your brain. "So I'm 'sleeping,' and her dad comes down and [I'm] hugging [one of the other girls] because she was scared, and he kept moving us away from each other but kept doing tests to make sure we weren't awake," the girl wrote in a text.

The girl also said that when the family friend came to pick her up, she got up to get her things and saw her friend's dad, Michael Meyden, who "seemed drunk" and was stumbling over his words. He heard her leave but didn't try to stop her.

Meyden turned himself into the police on Wednesday after a group of people called a grand jury charged him with serious crimes and less serious crimes related to the sleepover on August 26, reports the Mirror US.

The girl also told police that she had retrieved her shoes from the garage while running, using a "very loud door," and that she had became "concerned" when one of the other girls didn't wake up when she slammed the door.

Once the girl was brought home by the family friend, she woke her parents, who made the decision to travel to Meyden's residence around 3 am to pick up the other two girls. One of the kids told Lake Oswego Police Detective Nicole Palmeri at the hospital the following day that she was feeling hot, woozy, and clumsy, while another child stated she couldn't remember what had happened when she "blacked out."

One of the three girls, whose mother said she usually sleeps lightly, spoke of entering a "thick, deep sleep" that she had never known. When the same girl got home, she couldn't walk and needed to be helped inside.

Before her parents decided to take her to the hospital, she kept asking, "What happened? ". One of the girls "spoke slowly, had heavy eyelids, and walked carefully, using her mother's help for balance," according to police observations. None of the girls or their families are said to have had any special relationship with the Meyden family or had visited their house prior to the sleepover, according to the affidavit.
