Sleepover Gone Wrong: A Family Dilemma

So, here’s the scoop: our protagonist’s cousin has a 12-year-old autistic son, Damien, who’s had a rough life. When the cousin invites the protagonist’s kids for a week-long sleepover, everything seems to be going well… until it’s time to pick them up. That’s when the protagonist’s daughter reveals some creepy behavior from Damien, like stroking her hair while she slept and taking pictures of her. And to top it off, the cousin didn’t mention any of this! After confronting the cousin, the protagonist decides her kids won’t be going back there, but the cousin isn’t too happy about it, claiming it’s just Damien’s autism and he doesn’t understand. Now, the protagonist is left feeling guilty, while the cousin’s son is having violent outbursts. Let’s see what the internet thinks of this situation…
