Reddit user HallNum032 turned to the community for advice after he couldn’t deal with his 16-year-old daughter’s attitude.

When she started hanging out with a different group of friends at school, he noticed a change in her behavior. The father was the first to admit that his daughter had once been polite.

He and his wife believed that she had begun to adopt the attitudes of her new friends, who were perceived as cruel, and eventually, they had had enough.

The polite, soft-spoken young girl they knew was no longer their daughter.

She began making disparaging remarks about other people’s appearance and possessions.

A worried father took his daughter aside several times to talk about her misbehavior because he was worried about how his daughter was developing. He even acknowledged that her attitude had an adverse effect on those around him.

Their maid was one person who was consistently influenced by her daughter’s actions. “My daughter singled her out for criticism of her hair, clothes, and ‘etiquette,’” the man said.

Their housekeeper complained to her superiors that their daughter called her derogatory names until she couldn’t take it anymore. Even the dirtiest parts of their house were cleaned by their helper, whom she would describe as “dirty” and “gross”

The way his daughter was acting made her father feel ashamed. He stood up and threatened to punish her if she committed one more offense against her maid, which she did not want to happen.

A few days later, she went to her father and said that despite looking everywhere, she couldn’t find her phone.

After such a strong warning, he thought she would finally listen. But when his daughter insisted she called their assistant “dirty”, the 16-year-old was grounded. The teenager lost his cool and started calling the maid a liar.

She was supposed to attend a party that day, but her father forbade her to go because of what she did. Furious, she held the maid responsible for her failure to leave the house.

A few days later, she went to her father and said that despite looking everywhere, she couldn’t find her phone. The girl asked her father to call her, and he obliged. To their surprise and to his wife’s surprise, the maid’s bag contained a phone.

He went straight to their maid and she angrily denied any involvement, sobbing that she never touched the phone and had no idea how it ended up in her bag.

At that point, the daughter continued to refer to their maid as a “thief.”

The father motioned the daughter to go to her room. Little did the junior in high school know that her father would grow suspicious of her for her actions and take steps to try and find out the truth.

What were the consequences of the Redditor discovering the real “thief”?

Before deciding what to do, HallNum032 looked at their security camera. What he saw amazed him. The father watched his daughter put the phone in the maid’s backpack. The father was furious with his daughter for deceiving the blameless lady.

He apologized to their maid and gave her the rest of the day off before confronting his daughter. When he played the video for his daughter, she was at a loss for words. Deciding to speak for himself, the Redditor remembered:
