Father gave daughters amphetamines

A father who gave his two daughters amphetamines to teach them about the dangers of drugs has been sentenced.

Colin Moyse, 50, of Gorleston, Norfolk, admitted to giving Class B amphetamines - known as Speed - to his daughters between December 2005 and January 2006.

He was given a conditional discharge of two years.

Norwich Crown Court heard that Moyse wanted his daughters, aged 13 and 12, to know what the drug tasted like in case somebody spiked their drinks.

Moyse, said to be "anti-drugs", put some amphetamine on his fingertips and told the girls to taste it.
