Separating kids from their iPhones and iPads can be a big struggle for most parents, but for one mom in Boulder Colorado, things got down right deadly after her daughter tried to poison her for taking away an iPhone.
Two charges of attempted first degree murder were eventually filed against the daughter, who mixed household bleach into her mom’s drinks trying to kill her.
Boulder County’s sheriff office detained the 12-year-old girl at a juvenile center after her mother noticed a bleach smell in her smoothie a few days earlier. Officers say the mom thought the daughter had just cleaned the glass and that there was a lingering bleach sent. Then she got sick.
A couple days later the mom noticed the bleach smell again, this time from a water carafe in her room.
“When she smelled the bleach in the carafe she confronted her daughter and her daughter told her that she was trying to kill her for taking her iPhone,” Commander Heidi Prentup told Fox 31.
The mother drank the entire bleach smoothie and was fortunate enough to recover without having to make a trip to the hospital. Her daughter is still being detained for her murder charges.

What did the girl do to get the phone taken away? Was it murder?
Please read before commenting. “Two charges of attempted first degree murder”.
Someone should take your phone away.
Doesn’t answer the question. Take your own advice.
In this case it just happened to be an iPhone but I’m sure children try to kill their parents for many other reasons. Humans don’t like to be deprived of life’s pleasures and at least some form of retaliation is bound to take place.
Retaliate? Yes/Maybe. Kill? No. Unless they are a deranged.
Google “child shoots parents over video game” and see how may hits you get. You can’t make this stuff up.
Not just immoral but idiotic. How did this moron child expect to pay for the iPhone data plan? They should exile the little shit in a place with no technology, bleach, and wild animals to hunt for that could potentially kill her. We could all watch the reality show to see if the little shit survives. I’ll pay extra taxes for that!
I bet it was a white kid
Well, looking on the bright side, she’ll have the cleanest colon in Colorado.
