This is ongoing right now as i type.
DSes 10 and 6.
I got an email this morning saying that funds had been added to my playstation wallet (£10) and a game had been purchased (98p) i instantly questioned DS1 as he has done this before, been punished and reimbursed me, and also told him that he cannot do this. he must ask me if he wishes to buy a game as money might be needed for electric or food etc. he agreed, is usually quite reasonable when things are explained to him.
He said it wasnt him, my lie detector is shite tbh and so i doubted myself and asked ds2, even though he has never done this before and i honestly dont think he would know how to do it intentionally. He denied it too. Said it wasnt him he didnt know how to and got upset. So i said that both were banned from tv and PS3 until i got the truth. They went to school, are now back and both still denying it. About 20 mins ago ds2 came down and said "it was me, because i cant read, it was a mistake" (he can read but not well in english). I smelled a rat and asked him why he told me and he said that DS1 told him to come down and say that. I asked if it was the truth and he shook his head no. I called ds1 down and asked what he had said to ds2. He said he just told him to come down and tell the truth. Ds2 still saying he told him what to say and that he didnt buy the game. Both saying it wasnt them. I have made them sit on the sofa until i get the truth. I suspect i will get a "false" confession just to end the punishment.
The whole thing feels ridiculous. How on earth do i deal with this stuff? I cant tell who is lying, ive clearly raised master manipulators what do i do?
