Everybody makes mistakes. Sometimes mistakes lead to consequences. Are those consequences always fair?

One father caused an absolute uproar on Reddit after explaining the rationale behind forcing his daughter to go bald as a form of punishment.

The dad made his daughter shave her head after she bullied a girl with cancer.

In the since-deleted Reddit post, the man claimed that he has a 16-year-old daughter who was in trouble “for making fun of a student that lost her hair from cancer treatment,” which the father explained included “pulling off her wig.”

The two girls had “some pre-existing bad blood” between the two of them and, according to the father, “were having an argument in class about stupid teenage gossip regarding my daughter’s boyfriend.”

Still, the father felt that his daughter’s behavior was unacceptable.

“She showed no remorse,” the father wrote. “She tried to excuse her behavior by saying the girl in question deserved it.”

The father gave his daughter a choice as to what her punishment would be. The first option for punishment was that the daughter would have all of her electronics thrown away — not taken away — but thrown away. Another condition of this punishment is that he would never buy her another electronic again.

“This was just to coerce her into choosing option 2,” he wrote, which required the daughter to “go to the hairdresser and get a cue ball haircut,” meaning, “as bald as the hairdresser can do.”

His daughter agreed to shave her head and the dad forbid her from wearing wigs.

“As you can imagine, everyone thinks I went way overboard,” the father wrote. “Her mother went ballistic at me,” he said, stating that his wife was worried their daughter would become the target of bullying. “Kind of the point,” he said, justifying his actions, “Teach her some compassion.”

“Your daughter is a bully because you are a bully,” someone commented on the father’s post, adding that the punishment was akin to abuse. “I seriously doubt this is the first time you used abuse and humiliation to ‘teach her a lesson.'”
