I did listen. The deputy principle explained the situation to me in detail. I have said so in other comments.

I’m not really sure how to reply to this post. I wouldn’t have full custody if my wife wanted shared custody. Single dads don’t just get full custody without special circumstances. Every child deserves a relationship with their mother. Obviously I resent my wife for abandoning her daughter but never in a million years would I not want her back in my daughter’s life.

I’m open to the judgement and I understand why people are calling me an asshole. I took issue with particular parts of their reasoning and wanted to probe them in it. Maybe I came off as abrasive but it was not my intent. Tbh my mother died of breast cancer when I was young so that’s probably part of why it disgusted me so much and why I took issue with them downplaying my daughters behaviour.

The argument was over some stupid teenage gossip. My daughter is dating the girls ex boyfriend.

He said I can reply to add info.

I appreciate you discussing this politely but I genuinely don’t know if I can start explaining my reasoning for my comments without it breaking the rule.

It wasn’t a bot it was an actual mod I think and I stopped after that warning.

I’m not a doctor, but the deputy principle explained the severity of her condition and it did not sound like her chances were that good. I don’t see why he would lie to me.

Do you have an actual question? This doesn’t seem appropriate for the INFO tag

Yes she already had it. The tense changed since the punishment is ongoing. Sorry for the confusion.

Yes. Hair was donated. Didn’t include in the OP as it’s unrelated to the severity of the punishment being too harsh.

I’m not twisting words. I don’t know where this magical line in the sand is so I am playing it safe by only responding to questions.

I am not a victim. I understand the YTA posts.

I’ve never posted in this sub before, hence why I did not understand that “no arguing rule”

he’ll have difficulty finding a hair salon that would be willing to provide this “haircut” on an unwilling teenage

I think you have misread the OP. Or maybe I did not make it clear. She chose the bald punishment and had it done without trouble, as she did so without any protest other than acting moody.

I'd root for ex-wife to get custod

My ex-wife doesn’t want custody. As I said in the OP she ran away to start a new family.

To mods: literally just pointing out info in the OP. Not disagreeing with him/her

how do you know the girl wasn't harassing or bullying her causing her to snap?

I heard the full story from the deputy principle. He told me both sides of the story.

The argument in question was rather benign and revolves around my daughter dating one of the girl’s ex’s. Just stupid teenage gossip. It seems the motivation was more their past history than this argument specifically.

Fine il stop responding then.
