A mother has slammed her daughter's teacher for combing her locs out of her hair without permission and replacing them with braids.
Micaela Varlack, from Columbus, Georgia, claimed four-year-old Londyn was left with painful inflammation following the bizarre incident.
She said she and her daughter got their hair braided professionally at a salon for $150 three weeks earlier.
But she told how when she picked Londyn up from pre-k at Childare Network on May 6 she was shocked by what the teacher had allegedly done.
'Monday, on May the 6th, I go to pick her up from the daycare,' she said. 'There's a little child who looks like my child with her hair braided.'
'Why would you comb out 32 locs out of a child's hair, to sit down and braid them, part them...'
When Varlack asked the teacher why she didn't call her first, she said her response was simply, 'I just didn't.'
Victoria Sunmola, a hairstylist specializing in locs, said Londyn's teacher 'went overboard' and didn't consider the effect of tampering with a hairstyle like hers.
'It's very disrespectful because she did not have the parent's permission to do it,' Sunmola said.
'The mother spent money on this service, and she crossed the line...more than anything it wasn't her place.'

Unfortunately these types of threads draw racist comments like a moth to a flame. I expect some of that is due to ignorance, upbringing, etc.
Thanks for calling it out.
Im an immigrant. Of Western civilization - not African. Do you comprehend the difference? An American has more in common with a European who has never even been to America than an African who has been in America for two centuries. Culturally speaking.
Hate America? Where’s you get that? I’m a MAGA type more like. The remark about dishonour was about the being enslaved part, not slavery itself.
I first came to FR as a lurker at its inception - I followed Mr. Robinson here from Usenet.
In all the years I lurked, before actually ‘joining’ and posting, I never saw the level of mindless, smart-ass racist comment that we see now.
Recent years have been very different.
Thank you very much for your comment.
I guess “conservatives” like you can play the race card as well as any street hustler. I never mentioned race, only culture and civilization. I’m Western by culture and education, values and morals and manners. I suppose some blacks are too, but not many. They have their own “culture”, and it’s on the news most nights.
LOL, I sure got that one, you are a foreigner, a really hate filled anti-American type primitive.
You know exactly what you really meant, and you made it obvious to everyone here.
” I don’t tell people how they should spend their money”
I do because it is my right. I can’t control what they do but I can give my opinion. And it is the right opinion.
I live in Appalachia where almost everyone is white and we are eat up with people on SNAP and food stamps. They got them a cash business so they can keep The Disability and still afford that $45k pickup truck with the loud exhaust.
And what does your Appalachia story have to do with the family in *this* story? Do you just assume that Black people are all on welfare, and wasting the money like your Appalachian neighbors do? Do you think someone with lots of money shouldn’t buy an expensive car or house because it’s against your ‘opinion’ of how money should be spent? That sounds like the opinion of a communist to me.
Don’t bother to respond. I’ve dealt with enough dolts today, and I’m tired.
This adorable little girl had "locs" - not a weave or braids. That first photo shows her with the locs by the hairdresser. The second photo shows the braids the teacher made. The teacher was wrong to do what she did.
As for the cost, hair salons are charging a fortune these days. The mom said she spent $150 for both her and her child to have their hair done. That price is not surprising at all. She probably wanted to treat her little girl to a mother-daughter day at the hair salon. Then, the teacher ruined it all. I would be furious, too, if I were this mom.
” Do you just assume that Black people are all on welfare”
Why do you assume Black people are all on Welfare? What data do you have to support your belief. This sounds like a racist belief that you support.
Anti-American? I’m on your side there bud. Capitalism, liberty, Constitution and the rest of it.
Yes, quite obviously I did. What is your point? This isn’t the place for a race debate, though I’d be happy to demolish you if you really are that masochistic.
Go home ugly hate America foreigner.
“Do the salons take EBT cards?”
That stands for Extensions, Braids and Twists, right?
Snort!
I am home. In country, civilization and culture. That is determined by upbringing, ideology, culture etc. For instance Thomas Sowell isone of us, one of the best in fact.
That silly “hate” argument is what the idiot Left throws at us. This is a right wing site.
It is a conservative site and yet you are a Libertarian, and a pretty hate filled one at that, your racism on this thread has been repulsive, especially for a foreigner from some unknown place.
Dude youre funny! Calling out “racism” while criticizing me for being foreign and demanding I go home. Is irony lost on you? Does your mind not grasp self-contradiction? I’m myself a minority. Get over it, the race card is so old.
“Conservative” issues are liberty, capitalism etc not racism. You’re on the wrong site.
You think “foreigner” is a race?
As far as conservatism, it is a 3 legged stool which includes social conservatism and strong borders and FR is a conservative site, not a libertarian site.
“Free Republic is a site dedicated to the concerns of traditional grassroots conservative activists. We’re here to discuss and advance our conservative causes in a more or less liberal-free environment.”
“Free Republic does not advocate or condone racism”
Telling a “foreigner” to “go home” - a legal citizen and resident - who has been here since his teens and is in fact a minority - smacks of xenophobia at the very least. It also doesn’t meet the definition of foreigner, immigrant yes, foreigner no.
Free Republic “doesnt condone racism”. Almost nobody does! BUT what you consider racism and I consider racism may be two very very different things. It’s a subjective term with almost no actual meaning, outsode of force used against others based on race. As I said…it’s simply a card to be played.
You’re not much of a thinker are you? Knee jerk emotional responses, wrong use of definitions, political correctness rotting what’s left of your mind. This ks why the right fails.
