7-year-old purposefully dumps water on babysitter's $1000 laptop, parents don't offer to replace it: 'I freaked out and told the parents'

Babysitting is one of the hardest jobs in the world. Not only do you have to take care of a child, which is one of the hardest things to do, but you have to take care of somebody else's child. And other people might make different parenting decisions than you would. You can't control how anybody parents their child, even if you're the babysitter. So you just have to deal with their parental neurosis, which then becomes your problem via your job. Dealing with the kids themselves is one thing, and dealing with their parents is another. 

I'm sure most babysitters would tell you that the part of their job that they dislike the most is having to deal with entitled parents. Kids, at the end of the day, are innocent. Some of them might be nightmares to deal with, but it's ultimately not their fault. It's their parents' fault. And as a babysitter, you have to deal with both of these behavioral issues. So what happens when the kid messes up in a major way?
