One aunt felt like she had no choice but to react harshly when her teenage niece decided to play a prank on her and her husband. After the couple had an argument, her niece had taken her phone and texted him that she wanted to initiate a divorce.
Her husband was understandably upset by these texts, and once they figured out the misunderstanding, the niece and her mom were reluctant to uncover the truth. Once the 16-year-old admitted to it, her aunt was considering revoking the birthday gifts they had planned for her and having less contact with her in general. She wondered if she was being too harsh.

16-year-old niece steals aunt's phone to play divorce prank on uncle, protests when they want to take away her 17th birthday gift in response: 'She was smiling and giggling'
Family relationships are often some of the closest bonds that people will ever experience, but that doesn't mean that they are always a walk in the park. Everybody messes up occasionally, even with those they love. What is even worse is that many actively choose to betray the trust of their relatives for their own ends, completely upending relationships and family dynamics. Even in the most secure relationships, all it takes is one stupid mistake or malicious action to erode the trust and care between family members.
Unfortunately, this is something that some people do not realize until it's too late, and then they are not happy when they face the consequences for their actions. This is especially true for those who are younger and have a life lesson or two to learn about how to behave around others. It might not be pleasant, but it is a necessary response.
