A college student in Florida was devastated when he discovered that his Warhammer collection had been destroyed. The culprit was the man’s nephew, whose dad allegedly refuses to punish him for the damages. These aren’t just average toys either; replacing all the broken figurines would cost “about $700 plus,” according to the owner.
Reddit user Konous is the unfortunate owner of this expensive Warhammer collection and explained on r/mildlyinfuriating that the 10-year-old nephew had snuck into his room to play with the figures. Thousands of Redditors were shocked to see how unreasonable the boy’s dad was, let alone the child.
“I GET why it happened. He wanted to play with them,” Konous wrote in frustration. “But the excessive force, even if I told him not to, and I KIND of suspected he might without permission, it’s the damage and everything else.” On top of all this, the nephew tried to lie to his uncle about the broken collectibles, claiming a cat had done it.
The Uncle Believes The 10-Year-Old Should Be Punished with Chores for Destroying His Collection
The uncle demands that the 10-year-old be punished with chores, but many users believe he should just force his brother to pay up and move on. “Just get your money back from your brother and get a good lock on your door so that kid can’t get to them again,” wrote a commenter. “If he wants to raise a monster, just make sure it doesn’t affect your life anymore.”
Konous also mentioned that his brother suggested swapping an Amazon replacement with one of the broken figures, defrauding the seller. Many users found this behavior quite telling of the dad. “If the dad is just suggesting sending the broken one back in a swap, the kid is doomed. Like father, like son,” remarked a Redditor. “Suggesting to defraud the retailer as a way to fix it really says everything you need to know about a person unfortunately,” a second chimed in in agreement.
Since Konous claims to be living with his parents while going to college, it might be a challenge to get some privacy from other family members. Though he says he might be taking his brother to court over the collection, as $700+ is no small sum.
