12-year-old girl accused of poisoning mother for taking away iPhone

BOULDER, Colo. (ABC News) -- A 12-year-old Colorado girl has been detained for allegedly trying to kill her mother twice by poisoning her drinks with bleach, after her mother took away her iPhone, police said.

The woman first felt sick on March 2, after drinking a smoothie, according to the Boulder County Sheriff's Office. While she noticed the smell of bleach from her glass, the woman assumed her daughter hadn't rinsed it properly, according to the sheriff's office.

Then a few days later, the mother again recognized the smell of bleach coming from something she was going to drink and she confronted the pre-teen, the sheriff's office said. The girl allegedly told her she wanted to kill her because she took away her iPhone, according to the sheriff's office.

She needs what every BOE needs, a lock down 24/7 school for a year or two until she decides there are better choices in life to be made.

Guess she won't be getting that phone back anytime soon.

This seems to be a weekly thing anymore.How long will it continue before it's treated as an addiction?
