When it comes to disciplining our children, taking away their smartphone or tablet is definitely on the top of the punishment list. Sometimes it’s the only way to get through to them.

 

However, when this mum took away her daughter’s iPhone she did not expect her 12-year-old to have such a horrific reaction to it.

 

According to reports, the youngster attempted to poison her mum by pouring bleach into her drinks.

 

Her mum became ill after drinking a smoothie prepared by the 12-year-old and while she smelt bleach, she initially assumed her youngster hadn’t rinsed the cup properly.

 

According to Boulder County Sheriff’s Office, the second time the mum smelt bleach coming from a carafe of water in her bedroom, she confronted her daughter who said that she wanted to poison her because she took her iPhone away.

 

Reports say the mum contacted the police and the youngster was detained on two counts of attempted first-degree murder.

 

According to Sergeant Bill Crist: “She had pre-planned this a couple of different times.”

 

Such a terrifying incident, the case is still on-going.
