Redditor TheAllNewBigGay was curious to hear the most shocking and bizarre crimes ever committed by members of people's families, leading them to ask:
Whats the craziest crime you or somebody in your family has committed?
Burning Down The House
"Last year my psychotic mother burned down my childhood home that her, my dad, my niece, my sibling, and siblings partner lived in because she believed my dad was cheating on her."
"Despite no evidence and this was not the first time she accused my dad of cheating with no evidence."
"Effectively, she destroyed everything we had built and kept in that home."
"Then after the fire in what I can only construe as an act of desperation, she went to my bank and stole all of the money out of my accounts because she was secondary on the accounts."
"I was working on changing banks, but my new bank had yet to finalize the creation of my new account."
"Moral of the story is take your parents off your bank accounts when you turn 18."
"She’s now serving time in a county jail for the arson because she took a plea deal and got a reduced sentence, which I still believe was utter crap."
"She played the poor old lady act to the judge and he took pity on her that she did not deserve."
"This is the woman who eviscerated my self esteem and made my life hell ever since I was born."
"She was toxic and abusive, never told me the truth about anything, and is a greedy, manipulative person."
"I feel no shame in saying that I do not care about her."
"She’s lost any right to my love and respect."- southpaw7writer
