A mum has caused a debate online after she stopped picking up her nephew from school when her sister refused to cover the cost of a TV he allegedly damaged. The stay-at-home parent had been regularly collecting her sister's nine-year-old son from school and looking after him for a few hours before his mum, who is a single parent, could come and get him after work.
However, the woman said she then discovered a "a bunch of scratches" on her TV, which the schoolboy said he wasn't responsible for. The mum says she had watched a film earlier the same day and there was no damage visible at that point, the Liverpool Echo reports.
She said the marks "were all in a circular pattern, like someone had tried to clean it, but with something rough enough to leave scratches." The parent also noticed some "discoloured wet spots" on the carpet under the TV, which she was able to clean.
