The 12-year-old boy, whose name has not been released, told his parents that his teacher had cut his hair during school hours.
According to CBS 4 in Minnesota, Daetney McReynolds, one of the young boy’s mothers, told the news outlet that her son was proud of his long hair.
“It was actually growing pretty well,” Daetney said. “actually, he was thinking about all [sis] kind of styles he wanted to do with it.”
Tadow McReynolds said that her son was worried about his parents’ reaction to what his teacher had done.

“And he said, ‘Are you guys going to be mad?,” Tadow said. “We were like, ‘For what?’ He pulls his hat off and goes, ‘My teacher cut my hair.”
When Tadow asked him why the teacher cut his hair, he replied that he was mad, and the teacher came over and offered to help.
“‘I was just really angry … I was just mad and then my head was down,” Tadow said. “and the teacher come over and said, ‘Let me fix it for you.”
As a result, Tadow is angry that no one contacted her or her wife when her son had a breakdown.
“What made her think that this is OK? if you were going to help my child why wouldn’t you do it the proper way,” Tadow said. “common sense way, the helpful way? By getting him some real help?”
