12-year Old Girl Tried To Kill Mother Twice For Taking Her iPhone

A 12-year-old girl in Colorado was arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after she was accused of trying to kill her mother twice because the mother took away her iPhone.

The unidentified preteen allegedly tried to poison her mother by putting bleach in her mother's breakfast smoothie. The mother noticed the smell of bleach but assumed the glass had not been cleaned thoroughly. She drank the smoothie, authorities said.

The preteen did the same four days later and put the bleach in her mother's water carafe kept in the bedroom.

The victim confronted her daughter about the second incident, which is when she allegedly learned of the girl's deadly intentions, Cmdr. Heidi Prentup, spokeswoman for the sheriff's office said.

The girl was arrested on two counts of suspicion of attempted first-degree murder.
