The dad shaved his daughter’s head bald, wanting her to understand how her actions affected others. While his method has sparked online debate, he stands by his decision, believing it was a necessary lesson.
In an interview with CafeMom, he shared that his daughter’s actions were fueled by a personal conflict with the other girl, who was dating his daughter’s ex-boyfriend. The dad hopes his daughter will learn to think before acting and consider the impact of her words on others.
