This is where you drop the hammer: 1. Her current phone is permanently gone and she won't get a new one with full capabilities until she's at least 18. At best she'll get a TracPhone. 2. Her computer is gone and replaced with the most basic laptop you can possibly buy, and locked down like Fort Knox with security software. She won't be able to use it to communicate with anyone else. 3. She is completely grounded for the rest of the school year. She will have NO life outside of school. After that she will begin to get privileges back dependent on grades and good behavior.

On one hand, I'm tempted to praise your daughter for her ingenuity. On the other hand, I want you smack that bitch

I'm pretty sure that's illegal. Maybe she should get a really hard lesson.

if you drove during that time, did she put you over the limit for driving? that would have endangered you and others. How old is she?

Put her in her place. Now.

Not cool OP. Please treat this situation seriously & give a punishment that's way more than a slap on the wrist. And get your child some psychological help. Your daughter basically poisoned you for temporarily taking her phone away. Not only is your daughter being an immature, vindictive, conniving, spoiled brat...drugging/poisoning is psychopathic behavior. It is a fact that poisoning is the most popular method of choice for homicides committed by women. You are lucky she didn't slip you enough mickeys to cause serious harm and/or death. If she's willing to do this to her own mother, what's stopping her from acting on psychopathic behavior outside of the home? I just can't believe that this was a child's response for being punished, for having a phone taken away for a week?!?! WTF? I do think a conversation with the police is in order, you cannot let her get away with that. Time to stop that shit right now.

Depending on the dosage she could've killed you or caused you to fall asleep while driving and you could've killed someone else. Over a cell phone. If she needs a phone to keep in contact for emergency situations, cancel her smart phone and get her a simple trac-phone. This wasn't a joje, this was a serious consequence. May I suggest community outreach as well? Maybe some volunteer work can show her time away from her luxury items aren't that bad After all.

What she has been doing is totally unacceptable, stupid and dangerous especially over a phone! She needs to be punished and taught about the consequences of doing stupid and dangerous stuff like that. Behavior like that can potentially lead to other malicious behavior so she needs to get help with her coping mechanisms and behavior before she goes too far one day with you or someone else. Don't take that lightly and don't let her get away with that. She's the child, she doesn't run anything right now and she needs to learn some respect.

That phone would be a done deal. Her door would be taken off its hinges. Her bed would be on the floor. She would have no extra curricular activities. She would go straight to school then straight home. She would not be able to use the computer for anything but homework. She wouldn't be able to watch TV. She wouldn't see friends except at school. She couldn't get phone calls on the house phone. She would be washes dishes, sweeping & vacuuming floors, mopping, dusting, washing clothes, cleaning toilets, the whole nine for months. The only thing she would be able to do for fun was read the Bible. The Old Testament. Especially the part about honoring your mother & father. Then I'd make her do community service. This is not okay & she needs to know it. Get her a therapist while you're at it because she clearly has issues if she's willing to poison her parent over a phone. Keep the lines of communication open & let her know you still love her but this sort of thing will not be tolerated. She could have really hurt you & it's a scary thought that she obviously didn't care. Good luck, OP.

I find this funny, I know it could be harmful but just the thought...I would have used laxatives, less dangerous... but I respect my mom enough to not do that
