Accusing someone without providing any evidence is just speculation. Sure, it might work if you’re just spreading conspiracy theories online, but your relationships will suffer serious consequences if you act like that in real-life situations as well.

A few days before Christmas, mother and Reddit user Low_Currency_1038 found herself in that exact predicament. After noticing money missing from her wallet, she accused her teenage son of taking it—but when he denied it, she doubled down and canceled his carefully planned birthday party.

    If there is any tiny little doubt about wether he took the money, I would give him the benefit of the doubt. The worst case in that scenario is that he gets away with it and you'll catch him next time. Cancelling a birthday party for a child is a pretty huge deal and if it's done as a punishment for something they weren't even guilty of then that could have a lifetime impact on the relationship and trust.
