Is it really parenting when your child tries to kill you? The parent didn't resort to violence they disciplined their child by removing a pleasure (their phone) their nutbag child escalated the situation with violence.
And others have said, you can't always blame the parents nature vs nurture is a hell of a thing
I don't think it has anything to do with today's spoiled kids having iphones. When I was younger, I got really furious, when my mom took some precious items from me, like my Gameboy and stuff like that. I didn't try to poison her, but I threw an enormous tantrum and hit her. It doesn't matter what the mother takes.
However trying to poison/ kill her mom about that is fucked up. No doubt about it. That girl needs help in a mental hospital!

I wasn't blaming the parent... I was responding to the people saying that "This is why corporeal is needed" and I don't think that helps either before or after. If your child actually tried to kill you, I'm not sure a quick smack is doing to do anything... Violence towards a child is a loss of control on the adults part... In this specific instance, though, I will say that logic goes out of the window. If someone (anyone) tried to poison me, I have no idea how I'd react.
After reading the article more I have realized that the alleged motivation of the girl is complete heresay at this point and that this is just a click bait headline.
While trying to poison someone to death is certainly bad, for all we know the mother could have been an abusive bitch, and the cops asked her "Do you know why your daughter tried to poison you?" She was like "It's because shes mad cause I took her iphone away" and conveniently left out the fact that she was selling her daughters body for crack cocaine.
But let's just ignore the fact that there is currently no evidence about the girl's motivation and instead go for the expected click bait response.
It's still deliberately careless journalism and the pathetic mindless chest thumping that follows. Yet another reason why I don't want to live on this planet anymore.
I hope I'm right about the mother, not because I want somebody to be abused, but because I want to see all of the chest thumpers heads explode when they realize what kind of assholes they are for taking the bait to begin with.
I don't think we are investigators or a jury here. Someone posts a FD situation and treat it like a hypothetical: what if some kid poisoned their parent over them taking their phone.
To discuss the story as if it actually happened or will impact our lives isn't really the point IMO.
Send her to Utah
Here you go, straighter from the horses mouth:

Really?When the woman confronted her daughter about the bleach, the girl admitted she had hatched a plan to kill her for taking away her iPhone.
"Why is there bleach in my water karafe!?"
"Huehuehue, mother, you thought you were clever taking away my iphone, but for that I formulated the ultimate plan to kill you with bleach, if not for your pesky sidekick, the poison control unit at the Boulder community hospital, it would have all come to fruition!"
Sorry, conversations like that just don't happen. This story just reeks of bullshit from the very source.
Current generation is pretty fucked up, only due the fault of the previous one though...who in their right mind gives a smartphone to 12 yo...
Don't blame the children, blame the godawefull parents who are raising them.

While true, the 2 times I did go apeshit on my parents my gave me a serious spanking and a rightfully deserved one. I flat out called my mother a street whore when I was 14 when she took away my Xbox...I'd roundhouse kick myself if I could meet myself when younger. :P
Your logic is, obviously, flawed - it is the lack of punishment and conditioning that lead to this.
And what would you do, "You tried to kill me, so, eh, no computer, be home by 18:00, and only permitted book is law book."? Lulz.

Hitting and conditioning the kid well enough is going to help them adapt.
Pretty messed up. Hope the mother is okay and the girl gets the help she needs.
