Bruno opted for the haircut but later expressed her anger over the judgment and said that she had filed an official complaint against the judge. "She definitely needed to be punished for what had happened," shesaidf. "But I never dreamt it would be that much of a punishment." Mindy Moss, the mother of the three-year-old girl, supported the decision and even was asked by the judge if she was satisfied with the length Bruno initially cut off her daughter's blonde hair in court.
"No," Moss replied. "My daughter's hair that had never been cut, that was down to [the middle of her back], was cut up to here [her jaw]." Johansen then ordered Bruno to "take it off clear up to the rubber band". On the day of the attack, Kaytlen and an unnamed 11-year-old female friend spoke to the girl in McDonald's, then asked a server there if they could borrow a pair of scissors. When their request was refused, the youngsters went to a nearby dollar shop to buy a pair and returned to the restaurant to carry out the act.
At an earlier hearing, Johansen ordered the 11-year-old girl to have her hair cut as short as his but allowed the child to have the haircut in a salon. Bruno added, "I guess I should have went into the courtroom knowing my rights because I felt very intimidated. An eye for an eye, that's not how you teach kids right from wrong." Kaytlen also admitted to charges in another case rising from eight months of phone calls she made to a Colorado teen that included threats of rape and mutilation.

This mother needs to take parenting classes. Cutting off her daughter's hair seems about right for this offense. Now she can feel how the victim feels!
But phone stalking someone for eight months and threatening rape and mutilation -- that is by far a worse offense and the kid should be in a mental hospital.
The fact that the kid did this and the mother thinks a haircut for another offense is too much, tells me she is a lax, undisciplined mother who utterly failed at teaching her child compassion and a sense of right and wrong. Shame on her.
Kaytlen sounds like a treasure.
I love an eye for an eye, but there should also be something extra for the victim, in this case, a public spanking of Kaytlen, perhaps.
