A 12 year old girl is in custody on two charges of attempted first degree murder after trying to kill her mother for taking away her iPhone, reports Fox News.

The Boulder Country, Co sheriff's office responded to Boulder Community Hospital last week after learning that the girl tried to poison her mother on two separate occasions after losing her iPhone privileges.

Commander Heidi Prentup said the girl’s mother noticed a bleach smell in her smoothie a couple of days earlier. “She thought that her daughter had maybe just cleaned the glass and that there was still bleach left in it. Then she started feeling sick.”

The sickness passed but then a few days later the mother noticed a bleach smell coming from her water carafe.

“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,” Prentup said.

The sheriff’s office didn't say what led up to the confrontation but on Friday they took the girl into custody at the Boulder County juvenile center on two charges of attempted first degree murder.

Keep that girl in the custody atleast for 2-3 years without any gadget but with only good reading books.

When did children became more important than people. Are those the values of the country now? Children are important, but not THAT sacred,

It just shows, unlike children, iPhones won't always disappoint you. Now if we could only trade in our children for newer models every year or two, we'd be set. ;)

It could be mom getting bill with data overage charges.

This reminds me of that one high schooler who beats his old teacher for taking his phone because he used it during class.

Eye for an eye. Damn straight!

just sue Apple already..

Iphones cause murder! They should be regulated, registered, or outlawed!

gamerscul9870 - March 24, 2015 at 1:06am

Is there an app that causes them to act like this? No. Is there some chemical in the iphone taking control of her then? No. Do you even have proof it's iphone to blame for a girl that actually started the problem by her mom? No. Case closed. Iphone don't cause minders, restrictions of using it does, thereby something or someONE other than the iPhone is causing it. Period.

It's the mind control that Apple employs. That's the only way they could sell an iPhone.

Android phone makers can't use that as anyone that buys an Android has no mind.

Irony: she prolly used an iphone to google "how to poison somebody".

ywhat - March 23, 2015 at 11:14pm

Totally have you seen a kid kill his parents over a flip phone? Doubt it

ywhat - March 23, 2015 at 11:13pm

Why give ur kid an iphone at 12. Thats where the issue started. Should've gotten her a flip phone first. If the kid asks for an iPhone then tell her to get a job and buy it herself at 16....thats called parenting.....

Agree 100%

I don't think a 12-year-old should have a smart phone. They really only need it for texting and making calls. This is the fault in our society. Just take for example, the schools and what they go through on a daily basis with kids and their smart phones. Without smart phones the students would focus more on learning and less on games and chatting and silly distractions. Maybe that's why we are not one of the most intelligent countries according to statistics.

This what i call a Bad Apple. That's what iphones are good for, to bring out the real devil in you.

Woz - March 25, 2015 at 3:30am

It takes a devil to know one. And the first guy is saying that Apple is a devil. And you are saying he is a devil. So he would be correct in saying that Apple is a devil?

And in other news, a 12 year old child has thanked her mother for taking away her windows phone. It was reported that she was weeping with joy as to not have to deal with such a piece again.

Lolz!

What a good idea !!!! Might try that nah, only joking but someone could be inspired by this

J. Miller - March 23, 2015 at 9:08pm

Old news.

Mr Logical - March 23, 2015 at 8:16pm

I wonder who paid for the iPhone in the first place. If the mom paid for it, I wonder if the girl if this attempted matricide will still happen if she refuse to pay for it in the first place. Addiction vs Desire which is stronger? Anyone?

Butterspider - March 24, 2015 at 12:01am

Mom bought her the iphone to keep tabs on her when she started pimping her out on the street.

@6italia0 - March 23, 2015 at 8:13pm

Maybe this serves as a lesson to the mom for buying her 12 year old an iPhone instead of a flip phone with only calling and texting

Dommm - March 23, 2015 at 9:35pm

She still be addicted to that

Butterspider - March 24, 2015 at 12:03am

She should have gave her 50 cents and said if u need me find a pay phone!

SayingWhatEveryonesThinking - March 23, 2015 at 7:57pm

This is nothing to joke about people. I'd say the mom got off easy. Don't f***k with a kid's iPhone!
