12-year-old detained

In Colorado a 12 year old girl has been arrested.

She has been arrested on two counts of attempted murder, after allegedly trying to kill her mother twice. She attempted to kill her mother by poisoning her drinks with bleach.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.

Then a couple days after that, the mother went to drink her water and smelled the bleach again. She then confronted her daughter. 

The daughter told her mother that she was trying to kill her because she took away her iPhone. 

The 12-year old was detained on Friday. she is currently at the Boulder County Juvenile Center on two counts of attempted first-degree murder. 

It is obvious how attached we are to our electronic devices now days. The fact that a 12-year old child thought to kill her mother because she took her phone away just leaves me speechless. 

It is pretty scary to me that a child so young would do something like that. It is outrageous the reaction the daughter had to having her phone taken away. This reflects on how teens today are so dependent on it that they are going to these extremes. 

Drinking bleach will make you sick to your stomach. It can cause liver and/or kidney damage that could eventually kill you.
