Niece Trashes Her Expensive Coat, She Files An Insurance Claim And Threatens To Sue Niece, Wonders If She Is The Jerk

The old saying goes that you can’t teach an old dog new tricks, and that certainly holds true for humans. But that doesn’t mean we should stop trying to teach people, especially if they are close to us and we love them. At times, however, it is difficult to get through to people, especially when they are young and have a rebellious streak.

Sometimes, there is a clear way to teach them a lesson and show them that their actions have consequences, but other times, it is more complicated. This one Reddit user decided to share the way in which she tried to teach her niece a lesson, but the situation got out of hand.

Family drama ‍♀️ A niece’s prank has serious consequences

When a family’s niece pulled a prank, they were forced to take her to court in order to receive compensation. After the original post was shared, the husband stepped in and talked with his brother-in-law. The brother-in-law was not aware of the situation and was angry with his niece and the sister’s response.

In order to compensate for the prank, the niece was grounded for the rest of the school year and her car was sold to get the money for the family. Despite the family’s efforts to come to a resolution, it was a situation that could have been avoided.

As the situation is now resolved, we can now turn our attention to the comments and reactions from Reddit users.
