#5 She Thought Her Daughter Will Be Safe And Protected At School But She Was Wrong

Lauren's mom Myckelle William's says her daughter was taken to the hospital because the snatching of wig caught abrasions on her head. The wig was held by pins and glue and when it was harshly pulled off it also tore off her natural hair.

Mom says that she felt that when she sent her daughter to school she will be safe and protected there but it turned out complete opposite of it, "Her head was hurting. Her neck was hurting. Her scalp was hurting, and she was just crying. The goal is when you send your kids to school, you're automatically assuming they're going to be safe and protected. And I'm feeling like she's not protected. I feel like there are a lot of parents who are hurt by [the school's] action. I feel like there are a lot of kids being victimized and it's not being handled correctly."

Talking in an interview about her struggle, Lauren revealed she has been viciously bullied for last two years of high school for her hair but now she wants to break free from it. She is tired of this and won't let her hair define her anymore, "Your beauty isn't defined by the number of strands on your head. Ever since I [shaved] it, I feel free. I'm not held down by my hair. I'm not defined by it — I'm defining myself."
