Girl Attempts Poisoning Mother Twice for Seizing Her iPhone

A 12-year-old Colorado girl has been arrested after allegedly trying to poison her mother twice just because her mother seized her iPhone.

Police said her mother noticed a bleach smell in her finished smoothie and soon fell sick.

But authorities said when the sickness passed and she noticed the same smell coming from a jug of water in her room, she confronted her daughter – who told her she was trying to kill the woman for confiscating her iPhone

The girl is now being held at the Juvenile Center on two charges of attempted first-degree murder.

A neighbour, Luciana Cordova, said:

‘It seems a little bit of an outrageous reaction to having your phone taken away, but I think it’s also reflecting of how our teens and our kids are so dependent on that, that they’d be willing to those extremes.’
