CORAOPOLIS, Pa. - A mother has been charged with trying to poison her adult daughter and her daughter's family after allegedly pouring bleach into their macaroni and cheese on Saturday night.

Nancy O'Donnell, 56, was charged with four counts each of aggravated assault and recklessly endangering another person, police said.

O'Donnell's daughter, Victoria Lynn O'Donnell, 24, was preparing dinner around 6:30 p.m. for her live-in boyfriend, Jamal Scott, 30, and their 6-year-old son and 2-year-old daughter. The four share a home with Nancy O'Donnell.

Victoria O'Donnell went upstairs while the food was cooking, and police said that when she came back downstairs, she could smell bleach in the food. She tried the macaroni and cheese and immediately spit it out after tasting the bleach, police said.

No one else tasted the food.

You could drink a whole gallon of clorox bleach and not kill yourself.

I don't believe that. Drink it straight from the bottle?

There is chlorinol in our drinking water in Orange, California. I am allergic to it. Can't go in my swimming pool. A little doesn't hurt.

[...women,couldn't cook to save her life!...]

My mother accidentally drank bleach. She was just ditzy. Used to clean her oven all the time. Gave her cancer.

Friend of Michael Jackson? bleaching?

Yup. That is probably what it is; mom is sick and tired of doing all the cooking while daughter lazes around. "Cook the supper, mom, dammit!"

Besides, no actual person in her right mind would assume that bleach would pass unnoticed in the food.

Oh, right. Never mind.
