A 10-year-old conniving twin decides to lie to her mother about her cousin’s pure intentions, which sabotages the cousin and her aunt’s relationship moving forward. Can a young child be purposely vindictive? Possibly, but the fault primarily falls on the mother/aunt here.

An adult should know that their child is capable of lying, especially if they have a habit of stretching the truth to get their way. The cousin in the story below explains that at the time of this debacle, they were 17 years old. Their twin cousins were 10 years old at the time, and one of them had a track record of spoiled behavior. Instead of handling situations like an adult, the aunt chooses to treat the cousin like an immoral person, to the point of tears and panic. Looks like there were no adults here. Scroll to read.
