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.

When the horse began gagging for no apparent reason, the owner got out his phone to take a picture because he was perplexed. He only noticed what was coming out of the horse’s mouth when he reviewed the photo.
The proprietor of this horse ranch was out and about taking care of his animal while also taking photographs to present his loved ones. Later in the evening, while he was sitting by the fire, he witnessed an odd occurrence. He had to look at the photograph very closely in order to determine the reason why the horse’s mouth seemed the way it did.
Are you prepared to see one of those optical illusions that will probably make you laugh so hard that you spew coffee all over your computer? You are going to have a good time with the optical illusion that I am about to demonstrate to you. I’ve demonstrated this optical illusion to a large number of people, and every single one of them has found it hilarious.
As a consequence of this, I have high hopes that it will have the same impact on you when you see it. You’re going to stare at it for a few seconds, and then all of a sudden you’re going to bust out laughing at whatever it is that you’re seeing. Are you ready to experience the optical illusion that I’m going to describe to you? Keep scrolling down to view an optical illusion that I like to refer to as the “horse mouth.”So, did you get what I was saying? Another horse’s mouth can be seen quite clearly inside the mouth of the horse that is located in the position closest to the camera. The alien from the movie “Alien” comes to mind when I think about it.
You are aware of the fact that whenever one of them opened their mouths, another small alien head materialized inside. It’s almost like someone dropped a photo bomb on you. Whatever the case may be, I found this optical illusion to be rather humorous, and I sincerely hope that you did as well.I’ve seen some pretty funny optical illusions in my time, but this one takes the cake. If you could be so kind as to leave a comment or a rating to let me know whether or not it made you laugh and whether or not you enjoyed my optical illusion, I would really appreciate it. That would be something that I would greatly value. I hope you will not mind if I ask you to send this optical illusion to any of your friends who you think might also find it entertaining.
