<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\u201cMy ex-wife and I have a 16-year-old daughter together of which I have full custody (she has moved on with her new family)\u2026 My daughter recently got in trouble at school for making fun of a student that lost her hair from cancer treatment. Including pulling off her wig,\u201d he started his post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cApparently there is some pre-existing bad blood between the two of them, but I don\u2019t think that even begins to excuse her behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As it came out, they weren\u2019t fond of each other because his daughter was now dating this other girl\u2019s ex-boyfriend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAt some point the other girl mentioned how my daughter\u2019s boyfriend was just using her for sex (this was actually a big shock to me as I had no idea she was sexually active) and called my daughter a sl*t,\u201d the father shared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s what escalated the situation and resulted in the wig incident. Supposedly they have been arguing in class ever since my daughter started dating the guy in question. Basically just stupid teenage \u2018he said she said\u2019 nonsense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He gave his daughter two options to pick from after learning what had happened and what she had done in an effort to teach her a lesson. The first was that he should destroy all of her equipment, and the second was that she should visit the salon and receive a bald haircut. The daughter made the latter decision and shaved her head to attend school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026Everyone thinks I went way overboard. Her mother went ballistic at me saying it will make her the target of bullying (kind of the point, teach her some compassion),\u201d the father wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Though not many people agreed with him, he thought he had done the right thing. Many people took the time to voice their opinions about the circumstance. One person wrote: \u201cYour daughter is a bully because you are a bully. I seriously doubt this is the first time you used abuse and humiliation to \u2018teach her a lesson.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another person added: \u201cThere\u2019s a term for what you did. It\u2019s called child abuse. Taking away her electronics would have been an appropriate punishment. Grounding her would have been an appropriate punishment. Disrespecting her right to bodily autonomy and humiliating her is not an appropriate punishment. She\u2019s unlikely to learn from it and if anything it risks perpetuating a cycle of bullying.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, there were also those who praised his parenting. \u201cI support your decision completely. You\u2019re her parent so you have every right to do this, it\u2019s not abusive, it\u2019s real life. If she\u2019s comfortable attacking someone for something they have no choice over she needs to see how it feels,\u201d someone in support of the father wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cShe will see what kind of impact actions like hers have on the victim and that will teach her a very important lesson,\u201d another supporter added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What do you think, then? Do you think the father\u2019s punishment was excessive?
