31 of the Wildest Demon Children Babysitters Have Encountered

As horror movies frequently point out, nothing is scarier than a child. The babysitters of Reddit know this firsthand, and while no one was on call to perform an exorcism, they’re convinced they actually came face-to-face with demon spawn.

One Redditor detailed the crazy — and only — night they babysat two kids from the neighborhood, saying that one boy peed on his brother, they tried to put the cat in the dishwasher and that they both “ate their dinner without chewing,” and then threw up on the family’s white couch. To make matters worse, when the parents arrived home and learned of their kids’ behavior, the dad spanked them, offered the babysitter $5 as payment and asked “So, can you work overnights?” 

Obviously, the offer was declined.

Shockingly, this isn’t the worst babysitting story about a child from Hell. Other Redditors have remembered the children who mentally scarred them, and their stories involve a totaled car, rat-poisoned water and a “real-life Cartman.”
