33-year-old man ends 5-year-long relationship after his girlfriend refuses to discipline her 10-year-old daughter who pathologically lies: 'There are no real consequences for her actions.'

If you've ever seen the 1956 seminal classic The Bad Seed, you might think that some kids are just born evil. The story follows the rise and fall of a little girl named Rhoda who unalives every and anybody who gets in her way. In a somewhat problematic 1950s way, that movie implies that Rhoda, the titular bad seed, is so disturbed because her mother was adopted and her birth parent was a nefarious criminal. There is no theme the movie explores more than nature versus nurture. These days, it's not above board to say that a kid is just plain evil because they exhibit anti-social traits or behaviors. Rhoda is a caricature, and although it can be amusing to compare your bratty niece or badly behaved kids on the bus to her, there is no such thing as a child destined for doom based solely on the misdeeds of their grandparents.

Most kids who lie and manipulate do so because they can get away with it. They can get away with it because their parents allow it to continue happening over and over again until their child is a monster. The man in this story watched that process happen to his girlfriend's 10-year-old daughter.
