Mom Forces Bullying Daughter To Wear Thrift Store Clothes As Punishment

MURRAY, Utah – Putting a stop to bullying in schools can be a difficult task for teachers, but one woman from Murray, who found out her daughter was relentlessly teasing another student, decided to teach her a lesson by giving her a taste of her own medicine.

“She really needs to know that this had such an effect on someone else’s life,” said the mother, Ally, whose last name we have omitted to protect her daughter Kaylee’s privacy.

Ally is not the Kaylee’s biological mother. She has been in a long term relationship with the girl’s father for several years. The girl’s father, who has custody of the child, was present during and gave permission for this interview, and he said Ally and Kaylee share a mother-daughter relationship.

Wednesday, Ally received an email from Kaylee’s teacher explaining that she had been bullying another student because of how she dressed. The harassment had been taking place for the last three weeks, and according to the teacher, the student no longer wanted to come to school.

to let the parents know about their daughter's behavior? IMO, they should have been informed before it had gone on that long.
