Fair if it’s his pops who said to cut it. Lil man was being over dramatic, but it seemed to be a genuine “punishment” for him.
When you go to the military, first thing they do is cut all that shit off. The purpose is to rid you of all that “I’m special” individualism, and the first step to instilling some discipline.
Besides, he young… if he learn to act right, he can grow that shit back.

Obligatory "stop recording shit". I don't think this teaches the lesson they want to get across. I'll never be with publicly shaming a kid to tears, especially my own, for the world to see.
After you cut his hair if he acts up again then what? This isn't really addressing the issue
I’m cool with it just not recording it.

You can dish out a punishment and still address the issue.

Name any punishment or discipline and that statement still applies.
“After you put him in time out…”
“After you take his PlayStation…”
“After you tell him come straight home from school, no going outside to play…”
“After you beat his ass with a belt…”
I don’t know if you have kids, but correction is not a “one time and it’s fixed” deal. It’s about consistency. After a while they get the message.
It’s on you as the parent to make them understand actions have consequences.

Agree recording and putting online is always some raggedy shit, but the punishment is fair.

If he was under a Nazarite vow then it’s kinda fair. But I doubt that’s the case. Lol.

Right… and if he cutting his hair, I doubt this is the first time this child has been “talked to” about his behavior.

There's a substantial difference between discipline and punishment.
This is a situation where they didn't uphold the former and OD'd on the latter.

I mean as parent I’ve always felt this type of public embarrassment is lame. Stuff like coming to your kid class cuz they act up is cool. But I don’t believe in cutting hair for punishment.

If you think putting your kid on the internet during an emotionally tumultuous moment is good parenting then you need to reevaluate what it is you're trying to instill in your child.
