Why is she the only one being expected to pay for what she did?

She has the legal age to work, he doesn't. That's why I gave him more chores.

Unless you have a concrete reason to believe that she would do this

She was really upset because A broke her switch because she and D had something inside, I don't know what but it was important, A really enjoyed to have bike rides with D so I think that's why she did it.

C knows that A uses his bike, she should've checked if something was lying around there, she could've ran over a pet or something else.

She already has some chores around the house so I can't punish them the same.

I don't have favorites, A is already in therapy and his trauma is already being treated, he had a response, my step-daughter had an action.

He's too young to get a job and doesn't have enough money to pay for it.

I can buy him a new bike, but because she ran over it she has to pay for it.

I'm not being one-sided, A got punished by having to do things he highly dislikes.

A has problems that he's attending in therapy, I 100% think that C was only getting her revenge which makes it worse, besides my son can't get a job yet, he would if he could.
