What is the cruelest thing you've seen a child do? Hetal replied. My niece is (was?) the cruelest child I have ever known. She was part of the reason I stopped talking to my sister altogether. She enjoys seeing people cry. When people cry around her she puts her face in their face so she can watch the tears develop. So when my youngest was first learning how to walk she would constantly push her over. She pushed her down the stairs twice. First time I was a couple steps in front of her so I caught her. Second time it was the porch steps, just 3 of them. ?Its just a phase" ?she won?t behave like this when she's older" Except a month ago my sister brought her to my house and she kicked my daughter in the chest. She is 13 now. My daughter is 8. So when will she outgrow this? She used to chase kids with knives and once tried to set the house on fire while everyone was asleep. When she sees an animal she is like Elmyra. She squeezes them until they fight back. Personally I think she is a psychopath. I told my sister this and she got offended. I wasn't saying it to offend her. I was saying it so she can get her kid some help. But alas it is just a phase. For the sake of my kids I just cut her completely off. I am not sorry.
