I already posted about my son, but I still want to share the details. I've moved past this experience now, but I'm someone who takes things to heart. In the evening, my husband, our little one in the stroller, and I went for a walk. It was cold outside, windy, but we wanted some fresh air. I didn't chase after my son around the playground; it's just not practical right now. I trusted him not to run off from the playground. I kept a distance of 3-5 meters. The playground was huge, so if he moved to a different spot, I'd go there because he gets scared if he can't see me. And then he found some friends, and they were running around. My husband and I walked back and forth with the stroller, watching and talking. We were getting ready to go home, debating who would convince him to leave. And then they ran by, and there was a bang, a really loud bang, and the alarm went off on one of the parked cars. My husband immediately said, "Did our kids do something to that car?" I called my son over and asked if he had a stone in his hand. "No, what stone?" he asked. "Why did the car alarm go off?" "I don't know," and he ran off. He insisted he hadn't done anything. There was another woman nearby with a small child, and she might have seen something, so I went to ask her. "No, they didn't throw anything." Okay, good. And my husband said to me, "Why aren't you defending your child? Why do you immediately think the worst of him?" Seriously? I'm so unfocused right now, I wouldn't have even noticed the alarm. We went home. I questioned my son again, "Are you sure you didn't throw anything? Not even by accident? Tell me now, because the police will find out anyway, and if you really did something, you'll get in more trouble for lying." "I didn't do anything." Okay, fine. I was lying down, putting our little one to bed. My husband was with our son in the kids' room. I shared a photo from the chat where a woman posted a picture of a car that kids had hit with a stone. I sent it to my husband. He immediately and furiously made it clear that I was thinking badly of our son, that he had said he hadn't done anything, even under threat of police involvement. I thought, well, he probably would have confessed if it had really happened. But I was so worried, I decided to find out for sure. I asked someone at a nearby house to check the camera footage for that specific spot and time. But by then, everything was already sorted without me. They posted a photo looking for us. I immediately responded. After watching the video, I was shocked. Where did he get that kind of power? He threw it about 2.5 meters, and it landed on the car's hood. I started shaking even more. We were already tight on money, my husband had changed jobs, everything was planned out, and I thought, "Now they're going to assign a sum..." The man spoke to me very politely. Understandingly. My son seemed to get carried away and didn't realize he'd thrown it, and from the video, he didn't expect it either; he was scared. It wasn't intentional. We will take responsibility. And when my husband saw the video, he turned pale. I came out of our bedroom, and my face was filled with anger. Anger not because of what he did, but because of the lie! And that he didn't confess. "Gather your toys, brush your teeth, and go to sleep." And he did it quickly, without stalling, gathered them. And he was already in the bathroom. And he started hugging me. I wasn't talking to him; I was afraid to express my anger. "Why aren't you telling me anything?" "I did it by accident, really." "I'm not angry about that, but because you didn't tell the truth! We are your parents; if anything happens, you can only tell us, and we will protect you. I warned you, the police found us, and I wasn't prepared because you said you had nothing to do with it. And I'm sad about that. You're a smart boy; lying at kindergarten and this are not the same thing, you understand? Here, they look for parents, and we need to be ready." I was very afraid this incident would end up on TV, so I asked the victim to delete the video and the admin to clean up the chat about it, because, as always, it had started... We didn't shy away from the consequences. I asked people who knew how much the repair might cost, and they named sums... up to 40,000. I immediately told the man that I wouldn't be repainting the hood; no one would do spot repairs. And at first, he spoke with my father-in-law, seeming to agree to just polish it, but in the end, it needed to be straightened. So that's how it ended up (he threw it). We agreed on 10,000. No further claims. Since that incident, he hasn't even asked to go out. We didn't scold him; we just talked to him about how bad it is to hide things. Behavior-wise, he hasn't withdrawn; it's as if nothing happened, but honestly, I watch him more cautiously when we're outside.
