As parents, we tend to teach our children to know right from wrong, but oftentimes, because of different reasons, we fail. One father learned that his daughter was bullying a girl who had cancer at school. Things went far and she even pulled the girl’s wig off. This made the father angry so he decided to take matters in his own hands and punished his daughter in a way that caused a stir, as well as mixed emotions, on the Internet. Since many slammed him for how he dealt with his bully daughter, the father later deleted the post.
“My ex-wife and I have a 16-year-old daughter together of which I have full custody (she has moved on with her new family)… My daughter recently got in trouble at school for making fun of a student that lost her hair from cancer treatment. Including pulling off her wig,” he started his post.
“Apparently there is some pre-existing bad blood between the two of them, but I don’t think that even begins to excuse her behavior.”
As it turned out, his daughter was now dating this other girl’s ex-boyfriend and that was the reason why they weren’t fond of each other.
“At some point the other girl mentioned how my daughter’s boyfriend was just using her for sex (this was actually a big shock to me as I had no idea she was sexually active) and called my daughter a sl*t,” the father shared with CafeMom. “That’s what escalated the situation and resulted in the wig incident. Supposedly they have been arguing in class ever since my daughter started dating the guy in question. Basically just stupid teenage ‘he said she said’ nonsense.”After he learned of what was going on and what his daughter did, he gave her two options to choose from in order to teach her a lesson. The first one was for him to throw all her electronics away, and the second one was for her to go to the hairdresser and get a bald haircut. The daughter chose the latter and went to school with a bald head.
“…Everyone thinks I went way overboard. Her mother went ballistic at me saying it will make her the target of bullying (kind of the point, teach her some compassion),” the father wrote.
He believed he did just the right thing, but not many agreed with him. A lot of people took their time to comment on the situation. One person wrote: “Your daughter is a bully because you are a bully. I seriously doubt this is the first time you used abuse and humiliation to ‘teach her a lesson.’” Another person added: “There’s a term for what you did. It’s called child abuse. Taking away her electronics would have been an appropriate punishment. Grounding her would have been an appropriate punishment. Disrespecting her right to bodily autonomy and humiliating her is not an appropriate punishment. She’s unlikely to learn from it and if anything it risks perpetuating a cycle of bullying.”
However, there were also those who praised his parenting. “I support your decision completely. You’re her parent so you have every right to do this, it’s not abusive, it’s real life. If she’s comfortable attacking someone for something they have no choice over she needs to see how it feels,” someone in support of the father wrote.
“She will see what kind of impact actions like hers have on the victim and that will teach her a very important lesson,” another supporter added.

Can you guess correctly?
Have you ever encountered a puzzle that made you stop and think? This brain teaser is designed to test your logic, reasoning, and ability to recognize patterns in symbols and words. At first glance, it might seem confusing, but once you understand the trick, you’ll realize how simple yet brilliant it is.
The challenge? Solve the equation using the given clues. Are you ready to crack the code? Let’s dive in and break it down step by step!
Why This Puzzle is Tricky
Many people struggle with this type of puzzle because it combines visual and linguistic elements. Here are a few common mistakes people make when trying to solve it:
- They focus only on the pictures rather than considering the words in the equation.
- They don’t recognize wordplay and try to solve it mathematically instead.
- They overthink it instead of looking for a simple, straightforward solution.
Now that we know what makes this puzzle difficult, let’s solve it one step at a time.

Step-by-Step Guide to Solving the Puzzle
Step 1: Understanding the First Part (🎀 – BOW)
The first symbol in the equation is a bow tie (🎀). The equation instructs us to subtract “BOW” from it.
- The word “BOW” is part of “bow tie,” so when you remove it, what remains?
- That’s right—TIE is left.
So, the first part of the equation simplifies to TIE.
Step 2: Understanding the Second Part (🎩 – D)
The second symbol in the equation is a magic wand (🪄). The equation instructs us to subtract “D” from it.
- When we pronounce “wand” and remove the letter D, we are left with WAN.
Now, we have:
TIE + WAN
Final Answer: TAIWAN!
When you put TIE + WAN together, it sounds like TAIWAN!
This puzzle uses phonetic wordplay, where removing or adding letters from words creates new sounds that resemble real words.
Why Some People Solve It Faster Than Others
- Experience with word riddles – If you’ve solved puzzles involving wordplay before, you’re more likely to recognize the pattern quickly.
- Strong phonetic recognition skills – Some people naturally identify how sounds change when letters are removed.
- Observational skills – Those who carefully analyze all elements in the image instead of rushing tend to solve it faster.
