Girl Tries To Kill Her Mother Twice For Taking Away Her iPhone

A 12-year-old girl allegedly tried to kill her own mother by poisoning a smoothie with bleach after she had her iPhone taken away. The girl, who has not been named but lives in Boulder, Colorado, allegedly blended the smoothie earlier this month, spiked it with the caustic liquid, then fed it to her unwitting mother, who drank it. Her throat was burned by the bleach, and she had to be treated in hospital - but wrote the incident off as a mistake until her daughter tried again, according to police.

The Boulder County sheriff's department said that on her second attempt the woman poured bleach into a water carafe by her mother's bed. When she smelled bleach again she reportedly confronted the girl - who admitted the attempts on her life were vengeance for having her smartphone taken away. She was later arrested. According to ABC News, she was charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder on Friday.
