Had anything gone wrong with the bigger son, whether the mother felt he didn't need a sitter that babysitter would'd held responsible. Therefore, the sitter was right to asked to be paid. The cheap mother should have paid the big brother to sit with his sibling and not hire a sitter in the first place.

this is what I was thinking as well. The kid was needy and not what the sitter expected when she agreed to the rate.

These were my thoughts too. She did have to interact with him and given that he has autism, he likely does require general supervision.
