It is my understanding, that the reason this story came out to the public, was due to the school officals would not speak to this family about this incident.
As told to me, the parents wanted to take their daughter out of the school where the "hair cutting " happened, and place her in another school outside of their district, but they were being ignored by school officals.
I am sure that Sis McNeily was nervous when she was interviewed, and she may have worded some things a little different than what some would have.

To me the key problem here is someone cut the childs hair....someone that did not have permission.
Regardless of how some feel about cut or uncut hair, no one should place their hands upon a child without permission.

Remember last year when a young child was expelled, due to she hugged her friends in school.
The school (in the hugging incident) stood by their decision to expell the child, based on their policy of "no physical" contact.

Just wanted to add what I have been told about this.

Interestingly enough in this case, according to the article, Hannah (the girls whose hair was cut) DID ASK another junior high girl to help her get out the knot. So no one placed their hands on a child without permission.
