Our goal as parents is to give our kids a sense of right and wrong. It can be difficult, and occasionally our efforts fall short of expectations. One such instance involved a father who discovered his daughter had been tormenting a classmate who was afflicted with cancer.
Her father became enraged when she removed the girl’s wig due to the increasing bullying. He selected an unusual punishment that has since generated a great deal of discussion and conflicting views on the internet.
“I have complete custody of my 16-year-old daughter, whose mother moved on with her new family,” the father said, referring to his former spouse. He clarified, “My daughter got into trouble recently for pulling off her wig at school and taunting a student who lost her hair due to cancer treatment.”
“It appears that they have a history of animosity, particularly because my daughter is seeing this girl’s ex-boyfriend,” he disclosed.
When word leaked out that his daughter was being used by her boyfriend, he was caught off guard. He was shocked to learn this, and that was the final straw that caused the unfortunate wig event.
“After finding out about her behavior, I offered her two options as a kind of punishment: either destroy all of her electronics or go to the salon and receive a bald haircut. The father revealed, “She went with the latter option.
Many expressed their worries, arguing that the punishment was excessively severe and that she might become the subject of bullying—a bizarre attempt to promote empathy. “Everyone believes I went too far. He remarked, “Her mother was incensed, thinking that this will only subject her to more bullying.”
There were differing opinions in the public. While some praised the father for trying to teach his daughter a valuable lesson in life by making her suffer the consequences of her behavior, others condemned him of being overly strict and referred to it as “child abuse.”
You must think about the significance of your activities and how they affect other people. One supporter said, “This situation might teach her about empathy and compassion in addition to the direct effects.”
What do you think about the father’s style of discipline then? Overly harsh or justifiable? This fascinating discussion is still going strong as more people voice their thoughts.
Fаrmеr Аnd 16 Соws Fоund Dеаd, Саusе Оf Dеаth Finаlly Disсоvеrеd

A farmer and 16 of his cattle have died in a freak accident after a “dеаdly dome of air” formed in a Wisconsin farm’s manure holding tank.!!
According to WAOW, a 29-year-old farmer named Michael Biadasz, from Amherst, Wisconsin, died of gas poisoning on his family’s farm after being overcome by fumes of either methane or sulfur oxide. Initially, 13 of the farm’s cattle died as well; later, three more expired, bringing the total to 16 cattle dеаths.
The 29-year-old’s father, Bob Biadasz, co-owner of Biadasz Farms, said that the tragedy was the result of a “perfect storm” of unusual and unexpected weather conditions. When the tank was prepped to be pumped, warm upper air temperatures trapped the gases in a dome of air which then poisoned Michael and the cattle.
Biadasz was reportedly found dеаd when other workers arrived to begin hauling manure away from the tank.
“The family is devastated, absolutely devastated,” Portage County Coroner Scott Rifleman told WAOW.
Rifleman told WSAW that gas poisoning dеаths typically occur in closed areas, making the incident even more surprising. The coroner said that atmospheric pressure prevented the gases from dissipating.
The coroner went on to say that an investigation is underway to determine exactly what caused Biadasz’s dеаth. According to Rifleman, Biadasz had safely emptied the same tank hundreds of times prior to the fatal incident.
The Biadasz family honored Michael by parking a line of tractors and machinery along the road that passes the farm. Among the vehicles parked are a blue tractor, several red trucks, and Michael’s black pickup truck…
“As if there isn’t already enough dаngеr in the lives of farmers, this family had to suffer this freak accident,” one Facebook user commented on the story. “So sad.”
Following the tragic accident, many are calling for tougher regulations to be placed on manure holding tanks to prevent a similar incident in the future. According to All That’s News, the National Agriculture Safety Database says that there should be proper ventilation in areas where animals are stored and that warning signs must be posted nearby.
“In addition to adhering to proper construction and maintenance procedures for liquid manure storage facilities, owners should be encouraged to follow a few precautionary measures to protect both workers and livestock from harmful manure gases,” the NASD writes.
WASW reports that a similar unfortunate fate befell a Virginia family in 2007, when five of its members died as a result of a pipe blockage that caused a fatal buildup of methane gas.
