A mum claims she has received a wave of negative backlash after posting clips online of her four-year-old son's long hair as some say it is 'abuse' not to cut it. Mum Charlie Hayes, 22, wants to give her son Jasper the choice with his hair and how he has it but some critics online have deemed it a form of child abuse by not getting it cut.
Charlie explains: "Initially I didn't cut it when he was younger, because I thought chopping boys hair off is silly. I wanted to give him the choice. He likes his long hair and he doesn't want to cut it.
"I ask him in the mornings how he wants his hair. Sometimes he wants plaits, sometimes pig tails or a pony tail."
