"My 11-year-old son, "Andy" has upended the life of his 15-year-old cousin, "Zoey," with a prank that went horribly off the rails. For some asinine reason, Andy thought it would be funny to hide a condom under Zoey's pillow. My sister (Zoey's mom) found it when she was changing out her daughter's sheets and pillowcase to be washed. She confronted Zoey, who denied that the condom was hers. Now her mother is beside herself because she thinks her daughter is having sex."
"He said he took the condom from his older brother's supply (our older son is an adult and lives on his own; Andy apparently stole it during a visit) and wanted Zoey to find it and be grossed out; he never intended to get her in trouble. I called my sister up and had Andy admit what he did, but she doesn't believe him!"
An 11-year-old boy hid a condom under his 15-year-old cousin's pillow as a prank. The cousin's mother found the condom while changing sheets and confronted her daughter, who denied ownership. The mother assumes the daughter is sexually active and has grounded her for six months. The prankster overheard a household discussion and confessed that he stole a condom from an adult sibling's supply to gross out the cousin and never intended to get her in trouble. The prankster's mother called the cousin's mother and secured her son's admission, but the cousin's mother still refuses to believe him. The situation raises concerns about trust, punishment, and autonomy.
