She's been bragging to other co-workers about my daughter's father and myself which "that girl" had no clue that my cousin works with her and other co workers were going to call my cousin which my cousin, of course, called me. The girl went home on her lunch break and told her mom my cousin was threating her which was a lie because everyone at the store can vouch for her. The girl is fairly new to the job. I left my daughter's father for his lies and cheating ways. I have pretty much moved on however, when I heard about it, it brought back bad feelings which I am trying to forget. The girl has been telling lies and maybe some of it is the truth however, I have moved on meaning, I'm getting my life I once had. There's a possiblity my cousin may get fired because of that girl lies. I told my cousin to have all her witnesses confess and/or write a statement confirming the girl has been lying. Seeking advice on how to handle this situation with my cousin.

 Hopefully it will all blow over if your cousin gets in trouble at her job. You never know how a boss will handle things, but she should be fine especially with the witnesses. As you suggest, having the witnesses write down, or just talk to the boss would be a good idea.
Worst case senario, your cousin will loose her job and she'll have to find another job. In the short term, that sucks, but in the long run, it will be fine. But I think she won't be fired unless she's had a run-in like this before.
Once that blows over, tell your cousin, for her sake, not to speak to the other woman. As far as you go, do your best. It's a tough situation to have thrown back in your face. Just work through the emotions as best you can, and then move on as you did before.
Good luck.

She may not want to work with that little girl anyway.....I don't think there is any one solution to this, she either has to ignore it, forget it, get back to work, or get another job!
