My sister played a pretty cruel prank on me today. What happened was, she was going somewhere, and she wasn't taking the baby with her, because it was raining, and she put him in his crib, because he was getting sleepy. Then, like 5 minutes later, I heard the door unlock, and then she came back in for a few minutes, and then left again. I messaged her, asking her if she decided to take the baby, since she had come back, and she was like, "No, I just took him out of his crib, and put him in his playpen so he could crawl around, because he was getting fussy." So I went and looked in his playpen, but he wasn't there, and I told her that, and she was like, "Maybe he escaped, did you check under the couch, under the bed, etc?" So, I looked in all of those places,and I couldn't find him. I was worried sick, I was scared that maybe he'd gotten into something bad, or maybe he'd gotten kidnapped, or SOMETHING. I was about ready to call someone, when she came back in with the baby, perfectly safe and sound. My sister thought her prank was HILARIOUS. I didn't think it was funny at all, and I still don't. I honestly thought that something terrible had happened to him. I might have been overreacting, and I probably should have figured out that she was joking, but even so that is NOT a funny prank to play AT ALL.

You know the thing about pranks and jokes? They're meant to be funny. To both, the one who's pulling the prank and the one who gets pranked. And I bet she only meant for it to be funny to her and her alone. So no, that's not a prank, that's being a goddamned asshole.

Okay I have seen so much stuff about your sister, her husband, and their selfishness, but this probably has to be the worst by far. No, you didn't overreact. Not in the slightest. She told you the baby was safe. She then had the audicty to take the baby and not tell you about it. When you panicked and told her about him being gone, she made the conscience decision to freak you out and contiune with her trick. She is an adult and your sister. What she did is utterly disgusting.
Making you scared out of your mind that your nephew is missing isn't right. When a child that young can't be found is literally one of the scariest things for anyone to deal with. That was no prank. It was a cruel lie that served no foreseeable purpose other than to hurt you.
I'm sorry to hear she put you through something like that. It's not right and her behavior needs to be put in checked. You've probably been asked this before, but is there anything you can do to get out of that situation? Like maybe have the authorities look at any texts or maybe record some of their behaviors?

Pineclaw I agree completetly. Amber She's actually a fairly good parent, better than A LOT of other parents I've known, she's just not that nice to me, and she doesn't seem that considerate of anyone other than herself and her husband. I really don't want her getting in trouble, because she's not a bad person. However, I've told my mom about what she's been doing, and my mom was just like, "She's young." And I also told her friend, but she seems to be on her side too. Like, everyone I know, who also knows my sister, always takes her side, and they just tell me that I should feel lucky getting to spend all my time with an adorable baby, and what not. I can't help but to wonder if I'm being immature about all of this, everyone on here says I'm not, but everyone in real life seems to see more of my sister's side of things.
