Revision history [back]

A child of four knows nothing of religion. Many parents all children's hair to grow long naturally. There may be western cultural discrimination against long hair on a male child, but this is a cultural, not a religious, matter. It is the job of CFD to see that the child has a secure, loving home, that he/she is in no danger and that his/her needs are being met. I too do not agree with the decision being made here. The child can decide at any time later in life to keep hairs natural or cut them. This is a matters of priorities. The best environment and loving parenting are the top priorities.
