Isis, you're post is RIGHT on point. The first thing I thought when I read the OP was "What was the REAL purpose of her cutting this little girl's hair?" I think it does have to do with power and control. She cuts the girls's hair as if to say "I am in charge, I know more than YOU as far as being a mother goes, what you may feel, think means nothing and ALSO "you're little girl ain't all that, I'm going to cut her hair and bring her down a peg or two" I know this is lot to swallow but unfortunately, some people are very hateful and like to show that hate in supposedly "innocent" ways so they can feign innocence when they are confronted. You need to start keeping a close eye on this woman.
