cre8 - I'm not a parent or an educator but I do work with (foster) children on a volunteer basis so this post piqued my curiosity. I'm glad the school took the incident very seriously.
Growing up girls in my class used to play with my hair all the time because it was long and thick. They never took my hair down, but they would play with it a little. My mother would notice later that my hair was "messed with" and told me not to have the girls play in it. Never would it have crossed her mind that someone would take scissors to it though. Its scary what kids are driven to do these days (I personally blame the parents).
I went through the same thing as a child. everyone loving to play in my hair, and me allowing it. Now I really see why my mother was so adamant about not allowing folks to play in my hair.
I blame the parents too. I could not imagine my child even thinking to do something like that.
