Today, I was babysitting a couple of kids. I'd spent time with them before, so I brought my video game console to play with them. I forgot to take it home with me. They soon sold it to another kid for $10. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, because money is a little tight, I decided to sell one of my retro video game consoles. The family member that initially gave me it to me saw the ad on Facebook and demanded I give it back to them. FML
Today, I babysat a 10-year-old and we played Pokémon. It was my first time playing, so he showed me. I ended up winning and the kid started crying and told his parents he hated me. They decided not to pay me for the night, and now I'm out of a job. FML
Today, I babysat the neighbors’ evil kids. They dropped them over at my house and I played with them for five hours. After taking the brats back home and putting them to bed, their mother asked me what time I came back to the house. She only paid me for the 20 minutes I was in their house. FML
Today, the kids that live down the street had a yard sale in my yard while I wasn’t home. They sold a bunch of my daughter's toys, which I now have to replace. FML
Today, I was babysitting. Being kind, I went to grab their mail, while their 4 year old ate lunch. He locked me out, wrecked the house, and let me in right when he saw their car two hours later. I didn't get paid. I paid them. FML
Today, I went to babysit eight kids under the age of ten, all by myself. After five hours of Hell, the parents finally came back from the ASU game. I got paid $5. FML
Today, my phone went missing. My 8-year-old son took it to school and sold it for $10. FML
Today, I sold my Xbox 360 on Craigslist. I met the dude at the mall. I gave him my Xbox and a handshake for buying. I left without the money. FML
Today, I was caught stealing a video game. I realized after my parents were called that the case was actually empty. FML
Today, my class got baby dolls for the week to teach us how to be good parents. After school, I went to the store with my mom with the baby doll. When I got home, I realized that I left the baby doll in a shopping cart. FML

Ask the parents to reimburse you for it.

Hopefully the parents will get involved and fix it for you. If not, go to the parents of the kid who they sold it to.

Hope you get your items back, and hope that the other kids parents won't be jerks about it.

Cant decide if they're smart or stupid

Stupid. Parents fault.

Explain what happened to the parents. See what they can do to help. If that doesn't work go to the parents of the kid who bought it. Often if you are calm and not aggressive the parents will want to help. If that doesn't work threaten to get the police involved, technically the children have bought and sold stolen items.

who were they selling it to GameStop? No but seriously go to the parents and explain the whole thing and hopefully they'll be cool about it

I'd say just ask them who they sold it to and explain the misunderstanding, just give the kid his 10 bucks back

Simple, go to parents, and as said explain. Since they are kids the parents are liable for their actions. So they should be helpfull. Then go to parents of the kid that bought it. Same deal in both cases the parents are responsible for the crimes of the kids. If one does not coorperate get the cops

This is kind of bogus to do to kids, but you can report them to the police in order to get it back.
