A 12-year-old girl with a disability had her beloved sticker collection destroyed by her step-brother as punishment for not giving him her camera. The stepmother, who had been saving for the step-brother's summer camp, took back 80% of the money she contributed. The father disagrees with the decision, claiming that the punishment was too severe and will cause resentment. The stepmother is torn between trying to teach the stepson a lesson and not wanting to hurt their relationship. What do you think? Was she justified in taking back the money or did she go too far?

👨‍👧‍👦 Stepson destroys disabled daughter's sticker collection, AITA? 👀

A father reached out to Reddit to ask if he was wrong for taking back the camp money he had saved for his stepson after he destroyed his disabled daughter's sticker collection as punishment for not giving him her camera. The daughter is 12 years old and is disabled, so she has limited interests and activities, but one thing she enjoys doing is collecting stickers. This helps her get rid of stress and anxiety. The father had saved 80% of the money for the summer camp, and his stepson had contributed 20%. After the incident, the father scolded his stepson and banned his friends from the house.

He also pulled back 80% of money he had paid towards his stepson's camp. However, the father's husband disagreed and said that he was overreacting and that he should take away his stepson's electronics for three days instead. The father refused, saying that his stepson had caused significant damage and had made his daughter lose valuable childhood collections of stickers. The daughter is devastated and still crying over her collections. Was the father wrong for taking back the camp money? Let's see what the Reddit community thinks in the comments below.

Stepson's extreme spitefulness raises red flags for potential violence. 🚨
