We
all react differently to harsh punishments, but this story perhaps
edges towards the more extreme end of the scale. After having her
smartphone confiscated by her mother, a girl from Boulder, Colorado,
decided poisoning her would be the best way of getting revenge. If
that’s not insane enough, the girl is just 12-years old, and she tried
it twice.
According to Fox31 Denver,
and Commander Heidi Prentup, who is investigating the case in the area,
the girl’s mother noticed a smell of bleach in a smoothie made for her
by her daughter, but thought it was left over from the glass being
cleaned. She apparently felt sick after drinking it, but naturally
didn’t consider for a moment she was being poisoned.
However,
that all changed a few days later, when a glass of water in her bedroom
smelled exactly the same. She confronted her daughter, who in a
shockingly honest manner, admitted she was trying to kill her, all
because the iPhone had been taken away. Aside from the iPhone, the
reports don’t state if there were other problems leading up to the
poisoning attempt.
Despite
drinking the bleach smoothie, the girl’s mother is fine, and hasn’t
been admitted into hospital following the attempt on her life. However,
the 12-year old girl is now in police custody, and facing two charges of
attempted first degree murder.
