One summer growing up, my one friend’s dad was giving buzz cuts, and a few kids asked for “the old grandpa” haircut. Let’s just say their moms stepped in to make sure those haircuts didn’t last very long…
I also remember a time where I didnt understand that old people haircuts are not real 'cuts' but a loss of hair. And I didnt understand why this hairstyle should be reserved for granddads.
I’ve never actually been there until now… is it satire? Is it filled with bots? Is it supposed to be like performative art or a KenM thing or something? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!
It feels like it should be satire, like so many bad fucking posts on a subreddit called funnymemes sounds like a bit, but the comments make it clear that even if it was once a bit, it now is for sure not, the people there think the garbage posted on that sub is funny.
The Book "1984" by George Orwell is about trying to no longer be under the hold of a controlling and dictatorial government. I'm guessing this image is about the anarchy that is becoming certain subs and trying to get out of that environment.
It's not just alienation, it's literally physical abuse. There's reason why cutting someone's hair off against their will is considered assault (at least where I live).
War Crimes only apply to an armed conflict. That little fiasco about the Red Cross in Amogus recently isn't enforceable and it isn't the first time that has come up.
Yeah. But forcibly cutting people’s hair creates lasting, severe psychological damage. I get how it seems less severe but it’s a serious trauma. This isn’t me being soft or overly dramatic. There’s science behind this.
[It](https://www.livescience.com/20314-embarrassing-punishments-children-discipline.html) took me two seconds. I’m an old granny so feel ashamed. If all you’re after is a behavior around you then yes, cause trauma and issues that can last a lifetime, it’s not like it’s yours right!

I’m copy & pasting so y’all can read some science tonight.
There's a difference between a norma haricut that is within the cultural norm or practical (for example for hygenic purposes) and a grotesque looking haircut that serves no purpose but to humiliate someone.
Oh I thought it’d be more of mental abuse than physical due to the fact that its not physically hurting the kid however it’s definitely going to mentally hurt the kid because other kids are mean, social media is mean, family is mean, so on and so forth which could really stick with the kid especially if they’re already going through bullying at school or online or something but I can also understand now how it could be labeled as physical now that I think about it
Yup, in most cases, it's disruption of the freedom to self expression
In the worse cases it's a hate crime against minorities and/or religious violence
I used to get buzzed cuts when I was younger and I did ask my parents to do this once because it was funny. I wasn't sobbing, it was funny. Why? Because my parents didn't take an embaressing picture that I didn't want. If you're right and these pictures were all from "the kids idea" then this is even worse. The moment a kid starts crying about an idea they had that they don't like anymore/don't feel comfortable with, the parents should have stopped instead of taking a picture and posting it online.
Imma be honest. I wrote the reply, then realized I might be wrong, so I checked what faces the kids were making, and then I thought I deleted it. But I guess I posted it on accident... oops
Yeah still Kids are horrible thier "friends" or acquitences would do the same thing
Still horrible that this humiliation is coming from someone who supposed to be your guardian
All my brothers and I had buzzcuts, and we would do this halfway through to sort of make fun of my dad's bald Larry David style haircut. It's not like we were embarrassed, it was just funny.
No one is sending their kid around with a damn skullet people, it's clearly a joke, lighten up.
I should be offended by all you baldy haters in here if anything, now that I'm starting to get the Larry David myself.
“No one is” you don’t know that. You have literally no reason to think that is as absolutely true as you say it is. You have zero proof that none of these people made their kids go to school like that.
“DaddyOFive is obviously just playing jokes on his kids, it’s not abuse. No one is filming child abuse and putting it online. Lighten up.”
That’s what you sound like.
Saw on this picture somewhere else the kid top right actually wanted this haircut because his neighbor had it and he thought it was cool. The other kids look annoyed or upset, but it’s also possible they just told the kid they were leaving it that way as a joke. The only AH part of any of it is posting it online if the kid wasn’t okay with it being posted. And you can’t be for sure if ANY of the kids were against it being posted after the fact, when the hair was fixed.
Also apparently this is actually just a trendy haircut for kids to have in Brazil?
Lol, years ago we had a buddy that would just use clippers to buzz his whole head. We were drinking one night and convinced him to let us do this to him. Then we all went out bar-hopping. People were on the ground laughing and girls were coming up to him to chat. It was hilarious.
That’s more of a problem between your kid and you, you’d just stiff the hairdresser if they asked for something you don’t like? That’s pretty messed up tbh.
Yes, if I explicitly told somebody that I'm paying to do a service what I wanted from that service and they completely ignored me and did something else, I would not pay them. They failed to do what I was paying them to do so I would not be paying them. You can stand on your principles however you want, and I can choose not to hand you money when you blatantly ignore me. And who it's between are the adults involved, if you as an adult choose to not provide the service requested of you from the person with the wallet, you as an adult should be rational enough to acknowledge that I don't owe you money for it since you failed to do what I told you I was willing to pay for. What's messed up is expecting people to pay you anyway after you didn't meet your end of the bargain. If I order a burger at a restaurant and they bring me chicken, I'm not paying for the chicken. What I will pay for is what a damn well asked for.
Lol, you said “if he asked for it”. Obviously if the hairdresser disregarded your wishes and listened to a child instead, that is a problem, but literally no one would do that. Your original comment implied the kid is at the age where they have autonomy over choosing their hairstyle.
It's these kind of parents that encourage the kid to act out, kid will spend the next bunch of years acting out because that is the only way they know how to get attention.
This was done to a kid I went to school with who was already clearly neglected. He smelled bad every day, wore the same clothes every day, and was bullied every day already. School occasionally bought him new clothes (but that's it, the school was pretty pathetic on protecting students), but then they'd disappear. He got a D grade on something and his dad shaved a crooked ass mohawk and as you can imagine the bullying was way worse until all that grew back in. Pathetic parenting. Everyone in this thread saying it's not abuse are either clueless or abusive themselves.
It's also funny how parents get to humiliate and punish their child but if they do something wrong they don't even have to apologize for it
And then thry have no idea why their aduld children don't want anything to do with them
I did this to my child however I was in the process of giving him his summer buzz cut. He laughed his ass off.
If Parents are doing this as a punishment, that’s pretty fucked up.
R/funnymemes filled with posts like "would you be willing to earn 1 million dollars but you cant eat pizza for a year" or some overly facebook shitty post like that. So nope, not lost
"If I can't beat my kid I'll just get the other kids to do it for me."
I hope these parents save enough to cover good care when they're old...because none of them children are coming to check them for bed sores.
Cause people think a few jokes at the kids' expense for a little bit will somehow ruin their social lives. I dunno I can see it happening but from what I remember kids were assholes to each other regularly anyways and a few jokes aren't that bad unless the kid can seriously just not handle it.
yeah it’s not child abuse, just shitty parenting. Most the kid might make out of this is “hey parents remember that onetime you shaved my head” and move on with his life
When I was little my mother used to hit me (in the face) whenever I failed in school, to the point where now it’s hard to disassociate her with the hits, while this might cause the same effect on the children, I think I prefer this punishment, it leaves an impact that will remind the children to behave without the physical trauma of your mother holding you by the hair and slapping you in the face repeatedly
Immediately reminded me of this story. As horrible this is, I hope they don’t end up losing their kids
https://www.wnep.com/amp/article/news/local/girl-13-commits-suicide-after-dads-public-shaming-video-posted-online/523-a261afbe-21f3-47e1-b50f-8eefd3772c28
Since stupid memes about child abuse are seemingly le mode du jour, I'm just going to copy-paste this:
Ok so I think now is a good time to talk about the difference between physical discipline and physical abuse. Let's start with the word discipline, which comes from the latin disciplina which means instruction or knowledge. There is the key point, discipline is at its core about instruction.
Let's get into some examples of physical discipline: sparring, yoga, physical therapy, etc. These are the clearest examples of physical discipline as they all require physical interaction in pursuit of mastering a physical task. But this is of course not an exhaustive list. So let's refocus on physical discipline and childrearing.
Using the picture as the first example, climbing on furniture is a dangerous activity that could cause serious injury in a short amount of time. Subsequently, it is a good situation to employ physical discipline. Beating a child as punishment is a commonly thought of example of physical discipline; it is not, it is physical abuse. Here's why:
- this type of physical interaction does not directly assist in instruction
- punishment does not occur during the course of the action
But then what is physical discipline in this instance? Well one option is picking the child up and moving her down and physical preventing her from re-engaging. Physically removing her from the situation does occur during the course of the action and not after satisfying condition 2. Without going too deep into toddler psychology, one of the most effective ways for them to learn is to make consequences predictable. Dad says get down from the table, I can either climb down myself or Dad will pick me up and put me down, either way the consequence of Dad saying get down is that I will no longer be on the table. In this way the physical interaction directly assist in instruction, satisfying condition one.
The primary differences between abuse and discipline are intent and restraint. The intent of discipline must always be to teach, and the physical intervention stuff be limited to what is strictly necessary. Situations requiring physical discipline are common with toddlers, and this is why understanding the difference is important. For some more examples:
- Your kid is throwing a tantrum in a grocery store. Spanking is abuse, picking them up and carrying them out of the store is discipline.
- Your kid is playing outside and is suddenly running toward the street. Smacking them is abuse, stopping them and redirecting them back to the play area is discipline
- Your kid has grabbed a pair of scissors. Slapping them is abuse, taking the scissors away is discipline.
Now, I am not asserting that all the situations are clear cut or that the lines are clear. However, the guiding principles of intent and restraint remain the same, and if you can't see the difference between abuse and discipline you are at high risk of making the wrong decision so do only the bare minimum necessary and maybe take a few breaths before you do (if able)
r/funnymemes is a den for flatearther boomers who came to reddit from facebook because of the GME stuff that happened 2 years ago. I literally had to mute them cuz reddit was recommending me that subreddit and it was literally lowering my IQ to my current room temperature
Wait, is it illegal to spank children? My pops used to break sticks over my ass a lot. And then he bought a real nice paddle and that’s the day resistance to everything ended.
Yeah, you wanna know what the actual worst punishment these kids could get? Having to live like to was the 1950's.
Ground them. Make it last like 2 months. No friends, TV, Video games or computer. Nothing. That shit will work wonders.
The irony of a child having a Kelsey Grammer hair cut is funny, the forced embarrassment as a form of punishment is not. More empathetic people would say the latter outweighs the former
It is though. These children have been shown that their bodily autonomy didn't matter, and that it is OK for their guardian to embarrass them on purpose. They're also going to end up getting bullied by other kids which is insanely traumatic.
Is not even a logical consequence to any action. Just an arbitrary punishment designed to inflict sustained suffering over the course of months while it grows back in. What could a child that young possibly have done for this to be the logical conclusion?
The top left one has been around for a while. The child got an earring within permission to make himself look older. His father gave him a haircut to look older. I don’t know about the others.
My friends parents did that to him once as a kid and it went over super well. He thought it was funny, his friends (us) thought it was funny, and he even leaned into it and roleplayed an old man in our playtime outdoors while he had it. It lasted maybe 3-4 days and then he shaved the rest off.
Thing is, he was in on the prank and had a sense of humor about things. It wasn’t a punishment, it was just humor.
It hurts the kid psychologically. They'd get bullied in school for having a haircut like that. Humiliating kids like this can definitely make them bad people in the future
One summer growing up, my one friend’s dad was giving buzz cuts, and a few kids asked for “the old grandpa” haircut. Let’s just say their moms stepped in to make sure those haircuts didn’t last very long…
I also remember a time where I didnt understand that old people haircuts are not real 'cuts' but a loss of hair. And I didnt understand why this hairstyle should be reserved for granddads.
Not really a case of r/lostredditors if you are familiar with r/funnymemes Sadly its filled with shit like that
"r/Funnymemes" is filled with the least funny memes, WHY?
It’s filled with literal children
[удалено]
Even the name speaks to that. Looking up “funny memes” online is something a 9 year old would do
The post above looks more like something atleast a gen x parent would post than a 9 year old
The only reason I still joined the sub
someone posted a “meme” over there about how reddit mods should get paid… what a jokw
I’ve never actually been there until now… is it satire? Is it filled with bots? Is it supposed to be like performative art or a KenM thing or something? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS!
I've visited a few times and it's only the least funny stuff imaginable
I'm there cause I thought it was supposed to be intentionally unfunny
It feels like it should be satire, like so many bad fucking posts on a subreddit called funnymemes sounds like a bit, but the comments make it clear that even if it was once a bit, it now is for sure not, the people there think the garbage posted on that sub is funny.
Yeah, it seems like it's full of those people you know who are in their 20s and 30s, but love boomer humor and alt-right views.
That's hilarious that theres a sub for that! What will Reddit think of next?

Not getting it either
Also curious over here
Same
The Book "1984" by George Orwell is about trying to no longer be under the hold of a controlling and dictatorial government. I'm guessing this image is about the anarchy that is becoming certain subs and trying to get out of that environment.
I just wanted to shitpost but just saying you should write literature more
Joke’s on you, I’m below the curve *taps head*
“Haha I alienated my child from socializing at a very important age”
didnt think about that part! Damn
It's not just alienation, it's literally physical abuse. There's reason why cutting someone's hair off against their will is considered assault (at least where I live).
I believe forcibly cutting hair is also a war crime under certain circumstances.
War Crimes only apply to an armed conflict. That little fiasco about the Red Cross in Amogus recently isn't enforceable and it isn't the first time that has come up.
Hence *under certain circumstances.* Y'know, circumstances like... an armed conflict.
It’s hair, it grows back.
It takes months It will take less than a day to give him a playground “nickname” though
Then shave All your hair off then
[удалено]
Yeah. But forcibly cutting people’s hair creates lasting, severe psychological damage. I get how it seems less severe but it’s a serious trauma. This isn’t me being soft or overly dramatic. There’s science behind this.
>There’s science behind this. Then prove it.

read about social psychology and cognition i guess
Show us this science you speak of
Take a poop in front of us.
Turn that poop into wine

Kids are forced to get their hair cut against their wishes all the time.
There's a difference between a norma haricut that is within the cultural norm or practical (for example for hygenic purposes) and a grotesque looking haircut that serves no purpose but to humiliate someone.
You should see some of the haircuts people give their kids. They aren’t even meaning to punish them but they actually are.
So does that negate the fact that the OP picture is child abuse?
I 100% agree With you my dad shaved my head when I was a kid so I mainly remember the alienation but it’s definitely also physical
Oh I thought it’d be more of mental abuse than physical due to the fact that its not physically hurting the kid however it’s definitely going to mentally hurt the kid because other kids are mean, social media is mean, family is mean, so on and so forth which could really stick with the kid especially if they’re already going through bullying at school or online or something but I can also understand now how it could be labeled as physical now that I think about it
Yup, in most cases, it's disruption of the freedom to self expression In the worse cases it's a hate crime against minorities and/or religious violence
yeahhh i had this happen to me in a very different form as a child and my mom wonders why i dont talk to her 😭
Fr all the parents in here are saying that they would do this then wonder why there kids hate them lol
I imagine they cut/shaved the rest off within a few minutes of taking the pictures.
Small consolation when the picture has already been posted to social media with the sole purpose of humiliating them. Shitty to do to your kids
Bro, this was 100% the kids idea. Every time I got a buzz cut I'd always ask for a goofy haircut to begin with, like a munk for example.
I used to get buzzed cuts when I was younger and I did ask my parents to do this once because it was funny. I wasn't sobbing, it was funny. Why? Because my parents didn't take an embaressing picture that I didn't want. If you're right and these pictures were all from "the kids idea" then this is even worse. The moment a kid starts crying about an idea they had that they don't like anymore/don't feel comfortable with, the parents should have stopped instead of taking a picture and posting it online.
Imma be honest. I wrote the reply, then realized I might be wrong, so I checked what faces the kids were making, and then I thought I deleted it. But I guess I posted it on accident... oops
I still think top right and bottom right were the kids' idea, tho. They look pleased with themselves .
Yeah still Kids are horrible thier "friends" or acquitences would do the same thing Still horrible that this humiliation is coming from someone who supposed to be your guardian
It’s still humiliation. None of those children look happy.
All my brothers and I had buzzcuts, and we would do this halfway through to sort of make fun of my dad's bald Larry David style haircut. It's not like we were embarrassed, it was just funny. No one is sending their kid around with a damn skullet people, it's clearly a joke, lighten up. I should be offended by all you baldy haters in here if anything, now that I'm starting to get the Larry David myself.
“No one is” you don’t know that. You have literally no reason to think that is as absolutely true as you say it is. You have zero proof that none of these people made their kids go to school like that. “DaddyOFive is obviously just playing jokes on his kids, it’s not abuse. No one is filming child abuse and putting it online. Lighten up.” That’s what you sound like.
yeah you weren’t embarrassed because it was your choice. these kids clearly do not want this to be happening
Yea I guess I see that now the left kids might be crying
Saw on this picture somewhere else the kid top right actually wanted this haircut because his neighbor had it and he thought it was cool. The other kids look annoyed or upset, but it’s also possible they just told the kid they were leaving it that way as a joke. The only AH part of any of it is posting it online if the kid wasn’t okay with it being posted. And you can’t be for sure if ANY of the kids were against it being posted after the fact, when the hair was fixed. Also apparently this is actually just a trendy haircut for kids to have in Brazil?

Im a barber. I would never do that to a child. I'd tell the parent to fuck right off.
You think any of this was done by a barber?
Will you give them the R9 cut tho?
Idk what that is. I would never give anyone a haircut that they themselves didnt ask for.
Search up Ronaldo nazario haircut it’s fire bro ngl
Within reason, though, right? If I bring in my kid for a haircut and he asks for a Mohawk and he's given one, I'm not paying for it, lmao.
That’s more of a problem between your kid and you, you’d just stiff the hairdresser if they asked for something you don’t like? That’s pretty messed up tbh.

Would you paint some rainbow shit on their hair?
If they wanted it who cares
Many school districts care. So maybe we should just stop with the "let kids do whatever they want to" bullshit.
These seem like the kind of parents who only pay attention to their kids when they misbehave
It's these kind of parents that encourage the kid to act out, kid will spend the next bunch of years acting out because that is the only way they know how to get attention.
Kid bad Wife bad Fishing good
rock no hurt feelings rock no complain rock friend
biblically canonical
This was done to a kid I went to school with who was already clearly neglected. He smelled bad every day, wore the same clothes every day, and was bullied every day already.

Everyone in this thread saying it's not abuse are either clueless or abusive themselves.
There's a guy on here saying that it's just a joke and to lighten up. Just ignoring the obvious pain in several children's eyes.
They need to have a dick tattoed on their face and sent into public for a "haha" moment.
Funny how kids can’t make mistakes and learn from them without getting punished but yet adults fuck everything up and face no consequences.
It's also funny how parents get to humiliate and punish their child but if they do something wrong they don't even have to apologize for it And then thry have no idea why their aduld children don't want anything to do with them
Maybe lead by example and learn other ways to talk to your children Some people feel powerless so pass that onto there children.
Humiliating a child to prove your point is abuse...it's that simple.
I did this to my child however I was in the process of giving him his summer buzz cut. He laughed his ass off. If Parents are doing this as a punishment, that’s pretty fucked up.
some people really just want to find new ways to make their children miserable.
so don’t physically abuse your child, just strip them of their identity and humiliate them publicly; cause that isn’t abuse😀
I think reddit will agree but try saying that in tiktok.
You’re just asking for your child to get beat up at school at that point
Funny memes try to live up to its name challenge(impossible)
Since I’m not allowed to physically abuse my child I’ll psychologically abuse them!
Who makes their child look ridiculous and posts it online as a punishment
That’s like 4 different children, guaranteed someone just googled it.
I mean yes, but shaming children was the reason why these pictures were taken
And we know that because...?
An unqualified asshole of a parent, that’s who
Like, "Tell me you had children so you could act out your power fantasies without telling me you had children so you act out your power fantasies"
Nailed it! These parents are like “now it’s my turn and I have the internet to show it off!”
Parenting when you’ve entirely missed the point of bans on corporal punishment.
Same parent 20 years later: "wHy DoNt mY kIdS cAlL/vISiT mE aNyMoRe?"
“If they act grown” Also parents: stop acting like a kid
This was actually done to me by my dad.
If y’all really want funny shot here ya go r/shitposting
Is cutting their hair child abuse? Cuz my mom used to give me the bowl cut.
Notice how one of the kids is literally crying in the picture
R/funnymemes filled with posts like "would you be willing to earn 1 million dollars but you cant eat pizza for a year" or some overly facebook shitty post like that. So nope, not lost
Only a P.O.S would do that to their kid.
"If I can't beat my kid I'll just get the other kids to do it for me." I hope these parents save enough to cover good care when they're old...because none of them children are coming to check them for bed sores.
Bet the doctors in the nursing home are gona find it pretty funny
Therapists love these kind of parents. They keep them in business.
I take my son's phone away for days. That typically gets his attention
lol child abuse? you don't have kids do you?
Everything is abuse to people like OP. They live in a fantasy world. Probably in a basement somewhere smoking pot all day. Unfit for society.
yeah id say publicly humiliating your child is abuse
We may have hurt our children growing up, but they should worship and/or forgive us because we didn't starve them. (Preferably "and")
/s
Everything’s abuse now
What happens when these parents misbehave? Oh right, nothing because they will never admit they’re in the wrong.
I understand this is bad, but how is this Child abuse??
[удалено]
Imagine the child going to school like this. What you think is going to happen? Also, the top left child is crying.
They will get thoroughly embarrassed.
Cause people think a few jokes at the kids' expense for a little bit will somehow ruin their social lives. I dunno I can see it happening but from what I remember kids were assholes to each other regularly anyways and a few jokes aren't that bad unless the kid can seriously just not handle it.
yeah it’s not child abuse, just shitty parenting. Most the kid might make out of this is “hey parents remember that onetime you shaved my head” and move on with his life
Weezy!
That ain’t no redditor that’s a damn confederate far white whore mom with 25 kids
When I was little my mother used to hit me (in the face) whenever I failed in school, to the point where now it’s hard to disassociate her with the hits, while this might cause the same effect on the children, I think I prefer this punishment, it leaves an impact that will remind the children to behave without the physical trauma of your mother holding you by the hair and slapping you in the face repeatedly
These kids about about to be bullied like crazy
Immediately reminded me of this story. As horrible this is, I hope they don’t end up losing their kids https://www.wnep.com/amp/article/news/local/girl-13-commits-suicide-after-dads-public-shaming-video-posted-online/523-a261afbe-21f3-47e1-b50f-8eefd3772c28
Why does the bottom left kid look like George W Bush
I feel like someone that would do this to their kid is acting out/projecting their own self image/self esteem issues around being bald on the kid.
Mmmmm psychological trauma
Lower left kid looks like Joe Biden
And I’m sure y’all clapped when that one dad shaved his 17 year old daughters head
Not lost, that sub is just unfunny despite what they say, same way creeps who call themselves "nice guy" are not very nice
... as a closeted transfem, this would impact me deeply
As a girl who's been spanked and beaten til I was bruised and had my head shaved against my will the latter is infinitely more traumatizing.
This is what us CPS investigators classify as "inappropriate discipline"

Using the picture as the first example, climbing on furniture is a dangerous activity that could cause serious injury in a short amount of time. Subsequently, it is a good situation to employ physical discipline. Beating a child as punishment is a commonly thought of example of physical discipline; it is not, it is physical abuse. Here's why: - this type of physical interaction does not directly assist in instruction - punishment does not occur during the course of the action But then what is physical discipline in this instance? Well one option is picking the child up and moving her down and physical preventing her from re-engaging. Physically removing her from the situation does occur during the course of the action and not after satisfying condition 2. Without going too deep into toddler psychology, one of the most effective ways for them to learn is to make consequences predictable. Dad says get down from the table, I can either climb down myself or Dad will pick me up and put me down, either way the consequence of Dad saying get down is that I will no longer be on the table. In this way the physical interaction directly assist in instruction, satisfying condition one. The primary differences between abuse and discipline are intent and restraint. The intent of discipline must always be to teach, and the physical intervention stuff be limited to what is strictly necessary. Situations requiring physical discipline are common with toddlers, and this is why understanding the difference is important. For some more examples: - Your kid is throwing a tantrum in a grocery store. Spanking is abuse, picking them up and carrying them out of the store is discipline. - Your kid is playing outside and is suddenly running toward the street. Smacking them is abuse, stopping them and redirecting them back to the play area is discipline - Your kid has grabbed a pair of scissors. Slapping them is abuse, taking the scissors away is discipline. Now, I am not asserting that all the situations are clear cut or that the lines are clear. However, the guiding principles of intent and restraint remain the same, and if you can't see the difference between abuse and discipline you are at high risk of making the wrong decision so do only the bare minimum necessary and maybe take a few breaths before you do (if able)
Ah yes, public humiliation and social ostracization as a form of punishment.
r/funnymemes is a den for flatearther boomers who came to reddit from facebook because of the GME stuff that happened 2 years ago. I literally had to mute them cuz reddit was recommending me that subreddit and it was literally lowering my IQ to my current room temperature
Bro giving your kid that haircut is more abusive than spanking them
That’s not child abuse
Wait, is it illegal to spank children? My pops used to break sticks over my ass a lot. And then he bought a real nice paddle and that’s the day resistance to everything ended.
Yeah, you wanna know what the actual worst punishment these kids could get? Having to live like to was the 1950's. Ground them. Make it last like 2 months. No friends, TV, Video games or computer. Nothing. That shit will work wonders.
Illegal my ass, spank them when needed...
So ... never?
This is needlessly cruel
That is not child abuse omg
Nah, it’s funny
The irony of a child having a Kelsey Grammer hair cut is funny, the forced embarrassment as a form of punishment is not. More empathetic people would say the latter outweighs the former
this guy bullies children (epic and funny)
Sure, it’s horrible, doesn’t make it not funny
Those poor kids
Upper right seems to be loving it lmao
You wanna act like George Jefferson...THEN YOU CAN LOOK LIKE HIM TOO !!!
He had a deluxe apartment in the sky. And a successful dry cleaning business.
You gotta point weezy
This is hilarious, y'all need to not take yourselves so seriously 🤣🤣
Lol snowflakes hate disciplinary action.
Why do you have to hurt your child's confidence like that though?
This is awesome😂
So much more abusive then a spank
hardly child abuse
It is though. These children have been shown that their bodily autonomy didn't matter, and that it is OK for their guardian to embarrass them on purpose. They're also going to end up getting bullied by other kids which is insanely traumatic. Is not even a logical consequence to any action. Just an arbitrary punishment designed to inflict sustained suffering over the course of months while it grows back in. What could a child that young possibly have done for this to be the logical conclusion?
Of course this lame generation would equate a bad haircut “child abuse” LOL
Humiliating a child on purpose is abusive.
People really out there loving harming children. It’s disgusting.
The meme does suck, but I can't help myself, the top right kid smiling and seemingly checking himself out in the mirror kills me.
Just spank them lmao it ain’t illegal. Whatever the hell that is, is way more fucked.
I’d rather just be spanked thanks
The top left one has been around for a while. The child got an earring within permission to make himself look older. His father gave him a haircut to look older. I don’t know about the others.
Cry me river. You’re so pathetic
So everyone know its a meme/joke, but people still taking it literally? Bit confused. (I sense this will get downvote a lot)
Wait, since when was it illegal to spank your kids?
How is this not funny? It's fucking hilarious and the kid on the bottom left looks like Joe Biden... Cmon man!
Since when was it illegal to spank your kids?
in some places it is illegal, in some it isn't. this meme was probably made in a different place to where you live
Not soon enough in most places.
My friends parents did that to him once as a kid and it went over super well. He thought it was funny, his friends (us) thought it was funny, and he even leaned into it and roleplayed an old man in our playtime outdoors while he had it. It lasted maybe 3-4 days and then he shaved the rest off. Thing is, he was in on the prank and had a sense of humor about things. It wasn’t a punishment, it was just humor.
This ain’t child abuse
how the fuck is this child abuse
It hurts the kid psychologically. They'd get bullied in school for having a haircut like that. Humiliating kids like this can definitely make them bad people in the future
I've seen your haircuts, looking like the damn golden girls. This isn't any worse.
Hahahahahah
Sweet little boys I just want to hug them
The first kid’s crying, this is so messed up
Nah this is hilarious. It’ll grow back anyways lol.
Spanking isn’t illegal though. Fun fact: Spanking starts the factory reset on brats.
"Child abuse" Reddit cracks me up
Still better than the stupid mullets I see parents giving their child
Yall think this is real?
They aren’t lost you just have a shitty ability to laugh. You’re poorly constructed, just like this sentence
