My husband and I went out Sat night and came home to find marks on the hallway wall about 3 1/2 ft up. When I asked the babysitter what happened she said she went to put my 2yr to bed while my 6yr, Cal, was downstairs and when she came back the marks were there. She said that she watched the baby so there was no way he did it. When she left I asked Cal what happened and he told me the babysitter did it. I told him he wouldn't get in trouble, I just wanted to know the truth, but he still said he didn't do it, she did, and started crying. The thing is Cal never lies and he loves this babysitter. He can't keep secrets and doesn't know how to lie. Nor do I really think he would color on the wall. I can't though for the life of me understand why a 18yr would color on the wall either. We used her many many times over the last year and if there was ever a problem/accident, she's told us.
I'm not sure what to do. Any suggestions?
