Daughter pulls off the wig of a girl with cancer, father forces her to shave her hair as punishment

As parents, we tend to teach our children to know right from wrong, but oftentimes, because of different reasons, we fail. One father learned that his daughter was bullying a girl who had cancer at school. Things went far and she even pulled the girl’s wig off. This made the father angry so he decided to take matters in his own hands and punished his daughter in a way that caused a stir, as well as mixed emotions, on the Internet. Since many slammed him for how he dealt with his bully daughter, the father later deleted the post.

“My 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)… 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,” he started his post.

“Apparently there is some pre-existing bad blood between the two of them, but I don’t think that even begins to excuse her behavior.”

As it turned out, his daughter was now dating this other girl’s ex-boyfriend and that was the reason why they weren’t fond of each other.

“At some point the other girl mentioned how my daughter’s 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,” the father shared with CafeMom. “That’s 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 ‘he said she said’ nonsense.”After he learned of what was going on and what his daughter did, he gave her two options to choose from in order to teach her a lesson. The first one was for him to throw all her electronics away, and the second one was for her to go to the hairdresser and get a bald haircut. The daughter chose the latter and went to school with a bald head.

“…Everyone 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),” the father wrote.

He believed he did just the right thing, but not many agreed with him. A lot of people took their time to comment on the situation. One person wrote: “Your daughter is a bully because you are a bully. I seriously doubt this is the first time you used abuse and humiliation to ‘teach her a lesson.’” Another person added: “There’s a term for what you did. It’s 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’s unlikely to learn from it and if anything it risks perpetuating a cycle of bullying.”

However, there were also those who praised his parenting. “I support your decision completely. You’re her parent so you have every right to do this, it’s not abusive, it’s real life. If she’s comfortable attacking someone for something they have no choice over she needs to see how it feels,” someone in support of the father wrote.

“She will see what kind of impact actions like hers have on the victim and that will teach her a very important lesson,” another supporter added.

So, what do you think? Do you believe the father went too far with the punishment? Share your thoughts with us in the comment section below.

Girl Loses Star Dad at Just 2 Years Old – Fans Step Up to Support Her After He Left Her Out of His Will

In 2008, the whole world was shocked by actor Heath Ledger’s tragic death. It’s hard to believe, but it has been over 16 years since the talented Australian actor passed away, leaving many people in mourning.

The reasons behind 28-year-old Heath Ledger’s struggles are still unclear, but one thing we know for sure is that he loved his daughter, Matilda, more than anything.

If he could see how she is doing today and what she looks like, I’m sure Heath would be incredibly proud of his daughter.

Heath Ledger’s sister inspired him throughout his life. His acting skills took him from school plays in Western Australia to some of the biggest movies in the world. Even though he died at just 28 years old, Heath achieved more than many actors do in a lifetime.

He was born in 1979 in Perth, Australia. His mom was a French teacher, and his dad was a racing car driver and a mining engineer. From a young age, Heath showed a strong interest in acting, and he was a natural talent.

Heath was very close to his older sister, who inspired him to pursue acting. As a handsome twenty-year-old actor, he quickly made a name for himself after moving to Los Angeles.

His big break came in 1999 with the romantic comedy *10 Things I Hate About You*. The following year, he gained praise for his role in the blockbuster movie *The Patriot*.

However, it would take a few more years before he was cast in the film that truly changed his life forever.

When Heath Ledger was offered the role of Ennis Del Mar in *Brokeback Mountain* in 2004, he almost turned it down. However, his then-girlfriend, Naomi Watts, encouraged him to take the role, and he decided to give it a try.

That choice had a big impact on his career.

His performance as Ennis Del Mar, the tough and quiet cowboy from Wyoming, became one of the defining roles of Heath Ledger’s career.

While working on the set of *Brokeback Mountain*, Heath Ledger fell in love with actress Michelle Williams.

Sparks flew when they met during the summer of 2004; Michelle played Alma, the wife of Heath Ledger’s character.

Years later, director Ang Lee revealed that their love story began when Michelle was sent to the hospital on the first day of filming. She had twisted her knee, and Heath Ledger held her hand all the way to the hospital. He “tried to comfort her, and it was pretty obvious he was interested in her,” Lee told *USA Today*.

The two actors became very close while making the iconic movie. In fact, Heath and Michelle lived in the same small trailer while filming.

“It was really beautiful. It was very romantic. We were suddenly thrown into a little husband-wife situation. Our bed was honestly no bigger than that little round table there. My legs would hang off the end, but it was worth it. And it was comfortable, somehow,” Heath told journalist Christine Spines in 2005.

Heath Ledger had fallen deeply in love with Michelle Williams, who was one year younger than him. It didn’t take long for them to start planning their future together.

“We talked about having children very early. I have always known that I wanted to become a young father,” Ledger said in an interview, according to the Australian site News.

Just one year after her parents began dating, Matilda Rose Ledger was born on October 28, 2005. She arrived just before *Brokeback Mountain* premiered.

Four months after his daughter’s birth, Heath decided to become a stay-at-home dad so that Michelle could focus on her movies.

“I’m going to try not to work at all this year and send Michelle out to bring in the cash. I’ll be Mr. Mom. It’s something that’s very important to me—something that every dad, if he can, should do his best to achieve,” Heath said. He continued:

“My life right now is, I wouldn’t say reduced to food, but my duties are to wake up, cook breakfast, clean the dishes, prepare lunch, clean those dishes, go to the market for fresh produce, cook dinner, clean those dishes, and then sleep if I can. And I love it. I actually adore it.”

Becoming a father exceeded all of Heath’s expectations, and he once said it was “the most remarkable experience I’ve ever had.”

“Matilda is adorable, beautifully observant, and wise. Michelle and I love her so much. Becoming a father exceeds all my expectations. It’s the most remarkable experience I’ve ever had—it’s marvelous,” Ledger said in 2005.

At the same time, Heath had mixed feelings about the deeper meaning of becoming a dad and provider for his child.

“It’s like a Catch-22: I feel good about dying now because I feel like I’m alive in her, you know? But at the same time, you don’t want to die because you want to be around for the rest of her life,” Ledger said after Matilda’s birth.

In 2007, Ledger and Williams decided to end their three-year relationship, choosing to go their separate ways. However, the former couple remained close friends right up until Ledger’s untimely and tragic death.

When he passed away, Matilda was just two years old, so Williams made sure to keep her out of the press as much as possible.

At the time, the actress, who preferred doing small-scale independent films, was in Sweden working on the movie *Mammut* when she learned about Ledger’s passing. “Please respect our need to grieve privately,” Williams said at the time.
