Teen tries to kill his adoptive mom with poisoned milk because he didnt want to live with her anymore

A 17-year-old Florida boy was arrested on attempted murder charges for trying to poison his mom with bleach-tainted milk — because he no longer wanted to live with her, cops said.The mother, who was not publicly identified, said she poured herself a glass of milk on the morning of April 19, took a sip and found it had an “intense chemical taste,” Volusia County police told WESH.Newly released bodycam footage shows the moment the mother and her other son explained the situation to police, who found the suspect hiding in an upstairs room.“He put the Clorox in the milk,” the confused mother told the officer.

“You poured it into your glass and had some — how much do you think you had?” the deputy asked.“I think I had a little bit, and I tasted it,” she responded.

The Volusia County deputy confirmed that the milk the woman drank reeked of bleach, with the 17-year-old suspect admitting that he intended to make his adoptive mother sick.The teen confessed to the crime, saying he was upset with his mother and didn’t want to live with her anymore.

Although the mother did not report any immediate symptoms from the chemicals she ingested, she still requested a medical evaluation.Police noted that it was her other son who made the call to 911 following the incident.

The suspect was subsequently arrested and charged with poisoning food or water, attempted felony murder, and aggravated abuse of an elderly person, according to an affidavit....
