Shaving a child's head as punishment is both emotionally and physically abusive.

Anytime you do anything to another person's body without their permission, much less in violation of their will, you have stepped onto the spectrum of abuse. Shaving someone's hair is very extreme for both physical and emotional abuse.

This act violates autonomy and self-determination. It violates a person's sense of self. The way we choose to wear our hair is a part of our identity.

This act teaches the victim that they cannot protect their body nor their person (spirit if you will) from profound acts of coercion and tremendous physical change.

This act is humiliating. Humiliation harms a person's sense of self, their self esteem. Willful humiliation also usually leads to feelings of hate towards the perpetrator.

This is an act that cannot be hidden. The evidence is very apparent to everyone the victim interacts with, for months, or even years.

hmmm apparently:
There is no US law explicitly forbidding parents from giving their children an unwanted haircut, but it could fall into the broader laws of child abuse if the haircut is meant to shame the child and would cause him/her marked distress via damaging social repercussions, for example. It is up to a family court judge to decide whether a pattern of abusive behaviour toward a child is injurious to him/her to the degree that it merits legal repercussions.

unfortunantly, the court system in america is very fucked. especially right now because of covid. so even if this was brought to court, theres a possibility nothing would be done about it because as far as i know, we're still trying to catch up from cases that were pushed back in the heat of the virus. that, and most cases takes place on zoom now...
