Quote : | "Judge Ordered Valerie Bruno to Cut Off Daughter’s Ponytail for Lighter Sentence Monday, June 25, 2012 by Kim Shannon from Buzzworthy Bulletins

Valerie Bruno’s 13-year-old daughter, Kaytlen Lopan, received a haircut in court as part of her punishment for chopping off several inches of a 3-year-old girl’s long hair in a McDonald’s last March. Now, Bruno is filing a formal complaint, saying she felt intimidated by the judge.
Lopan, who was charged with assault, did not know the victim beforehand, but befriended her and then cut her hair off. According to the Huffington Post, Lopan “also admitted to charges related to making eight months of harassing phone calls to a Colorado teenager. The phone calls included threats of mutilation and rape.”
Lopan will have to spend 30 days in detention, serve 150 hours of community service (reduced from the originally sentenced 276 hours, due to the haircut), and “pay restitution to the victims.”
Mindy Moss, the mother of the 3-year-old victim, said that her daughter’s long hair (down to the middle of her back), which is now chin length, had never been cut.
Bruno told the press that “An eye for an eye, that’s not how you teach kids right from wrong.”
By filing a complaint, Bruno is only bringing her family more attention. Considering her daughter butchered a toddler’s hair and admittedly threatened a teenager for months, she should probably walk away from all of this with her tail between her legs and a newfound resolution to help her daughter’s mentality, and teach her some decent values.
“An eye for an eye” is not the way to teach, of course; but is Bruno really preaching to the public about how to teach kids right from wrong? And, by the way, where was Moss while her toddler was getting the new ‘do?
What do you think? Was Lopan’s punishment too harsh? " |
Um yeah. It is. You do something wrong, you provide equivalent compensation.12/19/2012 9:52:04 PM |

I think 30 days in juvy plus 150 hrs of community service is way worse than a haircut. 12/19/2012 9:58:20 PM |

The judge can offer unorthodox punishments. He clearly could not compel the cutting off of the hair, and this article title is stupid for saying "Orders."
The mother and daughter chose to accept this alternative punishment for a reduction in sentence, and later changed their minds. If you accept a plea bargain, you stick with the terms. Tough shit if you change your mind later. 12/19/2012 10:15:33 PM |

what a shitty mother.
her child being 13, is probably damaged beyond repair now. she is probably going to turn out as one of those thuggish girls as an adult who mug and beat people up. can't really blame her too much, as it is the obvious lack of parenting that has led to this
i agree with the punishments though, as showing her that there are consequences to her actions is one way of reining in her criminal urges.
what a shitty mother. 12/20/2012 2:11:33 AM |
