Her Sister-In-Law Lost Her Toddler, So She Kicked Her Out Of Her House With Nowhere To Go
Three months ago, this woman’s sister-in-law began living with her and her husband after falling on some hard times.
Her sister-in-law agreed to watch their kids for free as part of the new living arrangement, and she thought that was incredibly generous of her sister-in-law to offer.
She and her husband have a three-year-old son who has been diagnosed with autism, and he also is delayed in language and speech.
Three weeks ago, her sister-in-law was babysitting her kids when their three-year-old son managed to walk out the front door without her sister-in-law even knowing.
Her toddler was gone, wandering around the neighborhood for close to half an hour, and then a stranger who noticed him called the police.
“Rather than immediately notifying my husband and me about the situation, she spent an hour searching the neighborhood before involving law enforcement,” she explained.
“We only became aware of our son’s disappearance after she had already found out that the police had picked him up and safely returned him home.”
“There’s uncertainty regarding whether she would have informed us if the police had not [clearly] instructed her to do so.”
After she found out about all of this, she kicked her sister-in-law out of her house and said she was no longer welcome to live there.

Her husband thinks this was super cruel and extreme of her to do, and he feels it was a complete mistake what happened with their toddler.
Her husband also pointed out that his sister has nowhere else to go, and although she didn’t think of that before, she is thinking about it now.
“She put my son’s safety at risk and broke my trust, and I can’t get over that, but I can’t shake what my husband said,” she continued.
“Now I feel terrible about putting her on the street.”
She’s left wondering if it was mean of her to kick her sister-in-law out and essentially leave her homeless.
