A 13-year-old girl has allegedly told police on the Dodecanese island of Symi that she had attempted to poison her mother under pressure by her 15-year-old boyfriend.
According to what the minor’s mother reported to the police, her daughter’s behavior towards her parents started changing last September when she met the 15-year-old. She noticed, among other things, that her daughter was only sleeping two hours at night and had stopped taking medication for her allergies.
The girl’s father told police the boy gave his daughter unspecified pills and in recent days had hatched up a plan to kill her mother.
Messages exchanged between the teens show that the boy was urging the girl to put rat poison in the tea and dessert that her mother was going to eat, but the 13-year-old backed down at the last minute and eventually admitted the plot to her parents.
Authorities on the island are investigating the incident.
