CLEARWATER, FL. - Clearwater Police Detectives have arrested and charged two juveniles after an early Tuesday morning fire on the 1500 Huntington Lane in Clearwater.
According to Clearwater Police, the 11-year-old girl plotted with her 15-year-old boyfriend to kill her mother, Nancy Broadhead.
The two suspects poured gasoline on the victim's bedroom floor and bed as she slept in it, then ignited it. They took the victim's vehicle, a 2007 Ford Focus, and fled the scene.
Nancy Broadhead was awakened by a smoke alarm in the home and was able to get out. She sustained serious burns and smoke inhalation.
She was taken to Morton Plant Hospital and has since been transported to Tampa General where she was admitted to the burn unit. Her injuries are serious, but not life threatening.
The girl returned to the scene and agreed to go to police headquarters for questioning. The boy was located and taken into custody at a friend's house.
Detectives charged both juveniles for Attempted Murder and Arson Resulting in Serious Injury. The boy also faces a grand theft charge for stealing the victim's car. He is being transported to the Pinellas County Juvenile Assessment Center. The girl is being placed under the Baker Act for psychiatric assessment. The victim's vehicle was recovered in a church parking lot at 1910 Douglas Avenue in Clearwater.

"He who can, does. He who cannot, teaches."
"Being is substance and life; life manifests by movement; movement is perpetuated by equilibrium; equilibrium is therefore the law of immortality.
"The doctrine of equality!... But there exists no more poisonous poison: for it seems to be preached by justice itself, while it is the end of justice.... "Equality for equals, inequality for unequals" that would be the true voice of justice: and, what follows from it, "Never make equal what is unequal."
