Good day Mamalettes, Please your advice is needed. I have a cousin's daughter who is 9 years. I just brought her to stay with me a month and few days now. Before she came, some of my siblings said i can take her while another said i should not take her. That the girl and her siblings could be possess and have bad attitude. My siblings I'm talking about are 36-45 as I'm the last child. The challenge is that their father beat their mother to death in their presence and he has been on the run since. And they are six in number. 17-5 years. My fear now is that after the death of their mother, stories started manifesting that her husband is a notorious person, robs and has been assaulting the wife before the incident that led to her death. Also, that the wife was aware of his robbery later into the marriage and has been covering up for her husband. So my sis who said i shouldn't take the girl said the kids will have robbery in their blood and bad attitude like their parents. In fact, these facts of robbery etc came to me after I had already brought her. Now I'm beginning to be afraid. I'm planning to send her back as soon as she goes for the mum's burial. I do not want my husband to find out about the robbery and the rest. I was also told the hubby attempted to sell off his first son who was 12 and was collecting money. Now I'm afraid let the man not come and trace the daughter. And the girl has lied to me on certain things and I was so hurt. I knew the truth and wanted her to admit but she was adamant. Two days after she came, I had to treat her because she came with malaria and cough. This girl was busy throwing her medicine in the trash and pretended she was drinking them until I caught her. I felt bad and hid it from my husband. I thought I could give this girl a better life, but the circumstances surrounding her is scaring me, especially the father. Generally, she is calm and doesn't steal. She does work most of her mates cant do. I feel bad already planning to send her back to the village because of how they are suffering with their grand mother. Please house, should i send her back? I can't help her from afar as I can't afford it for now. I just have a new baby not like she is taking care of kids. I just wanted them to be out of that village
