Board 8 > This 13 y/o Ohio Girl was Punished with a BOY HAIRCUT by her DAD!! Look at It!!.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Christin Johnson, an Ohio Mother shared heartbreaking photos of her daughter, 13 y/o Kelsey, after her father PUNISHED her because she got BLONDE HIGHLIGHTS in her hair for her birthday..so he made her CHOP IT ALL OFF!!

She wrote "This is what my daughter looked like Sunday when i took her home and the other 2 pics is what happened today before she was brought to me...All over me having highlights put in her hair for her birthday!!"

2 additional photos posted by her showed her daughter with long hair and then with the boyish haircut as she buried her face in her hand with tears..

Her father, Schaffen Frederick and evil stepmother, Sarah Murray ordered Kelsey to get a haircut as punishment according to Police Chief Colby Carroll

The police got involved as well as Wood County Children's services are now investigating this as possible child abuse

Her father and mother are volunteer FIREFIGHTERS who are now on leave pending investigations.

The post has now gone viral as people were shocked over the allegations as Colby Caroll said he's never seen a case anything like this...

Facebook users have left compassionate comments wishing her well and telling her hair is beautiful regardless of her cut

Christin in the meantime took her daughter to a WIG SHOP to pick out a hair she wanted to use in the meantime as she picked out a dark brown hairstyle with a smile on her face

She wrot "I'd like to thank the ladies at Lady Jane's on Glendale in Toledo for making my baby feel more like herself"

Her father and stepmother were apparently outraged over her getting highlights stating she looked like a TRAMP and didn't approve of her "rebellious" style...

Do you think this is child abuse? let's see what people think

It's a haircut. You can make your kid get whatever haircut you want them to have.

That being said, it's particularly unfortunate for a girl at that age, because girl's and boy's faces basically look indistinguishable from the other gender until they are late teens. But she's 13 though, so she shouldn't really be into that kind of stuff for a while anyway.

If there's a question of shared custody, however, I would argue that this definitely crosses lines of parental control.

Regardless, knowing kids and how crazy they can be about their hair, I would consider this abusive regardless. This kind of thing can be utterly shattering for a girl at that age.

A haircut is "cruel child abuse"? It's like some people want words to completely lose their meanings.
---

Abuse? Arguable. Cruel? Definitely
---

Definitely emotionally abusive. She's 13, and her hair is probably a big part of her self image. It's easy to say "it's just hair" but she's a teenage girl, and haircuts to girls mean a lot more than they do to guys. It's basically meant to shame and humiliate her by giving her a bad hair cut that she doesn't want. He's basically stepping on her self esteem and sense of self worth. And it's probably to get back at mom through the kid.

Dad should probably lose any custodial rights he has here. I know if someone cut one of my daughters hair a way she didn't want, I wouldn't want them seeing any of my kids ever again.

That wig looks awful.
---

I'll agree the father was cruel because his intentions were to make her feel like shit, but...it is just hair.

We should probably encourage people not to take that kind of stuff too seriously.
---

He did it just to make her feel bad, so yes I figure it is abusive.

Also long hair with highlights = tramp? That certainly isn't a healthy mentality to place into a young girl's head.
---

Don't worry I'm sure the last thing they did was convince her of their beliefs.
---

Failure parenting here.
---

I don't understand why either side is that worked up over dang hair, but I am neither a teenage girl nor a father thereof, so shrug.
