The Impostor Friend
My buddy was raised by a single mother, and had a young sister named Bella who had a different father. His sisters father dated his mother for a while, before they eventually split because this guy was a jerk. There was this kid in our school and I guess his dad was friends with Bella’s dad.
This kid started hanging out with my buddy a lot, going over to his place to play video games, drinking with us, etc. About six months later my buddy’s mom was in court because Bella’s dad wanted custody.
They called this kid from school in as a character witness and he essentially told the court that my buddy’s mom was a horrible mother and didn’t take care of the kids. I know her well and she does everything for her kids, as a single mother I have the utmost respect for her.
We found out that this kid from schools dad told him to become friends with my buddy so he could be used as a character witness to help take my buddy’s sister away. I don’t know whether I was more disgusted by the kid or his dad for telling him to do it.
The funny thing is, even with that testimony, Bella’s dad was such a horrible person the courts still gave custody to my buddy’s mom. We all hang out now and it’s crazy to think my buddy’s little sister could’ve been taken because of these lying scumbags. Story credit: Reddit / superretroninja
