Imagine your child being bullied to the point where they miss an important event, and the bully’s parent just brushes it off. That’s what happened to our 31-year-old mom, who has a 6-year-old daughter with a self-stimulatory behavior. The daughter has been having issues with a girl named Bailey at school, who constantly teases her about her ‘flapping.’ Despite talking to the teacher, principal, and parents, nothing has changed. When Bailey took it too far and cut our protagonist’s daughter’s hair, causing her to miss a dance photoshoot, the mom demanded that Bailey’s mom pay for the missed session. But Bailey’s mom just laughed it off.
