As parents, we try to instill a sense of morality in our offspring, but we don’t always succeed. The daughter of one man was informed that she had bullied a girl with cancer at school.
The situation escalated to the point that she ripped the girl’s wig off. This infuriated the father, who took things into his own hands by punishing his daughter in a manner that sparked controversy and a range of reactions online.
The father eventually removed the post after receiving backlash for his handling of his bullying daughter. Since my ex-wife has moved on with her new family, I have sole custody of our 16-year-old daughter.

There was apparently some animosity between them to begin with, but it doesn’t make her actions any more understandable.
