I'm not sure what the problem is. The judge sentenced a juvenile offender to 150 hours of detention (incarceration). He then informed the juvenile's parent he would waive the punishment if she chose to cut her daughter's pony tail off.
The parent is in charge of her child. She is a grown adult and as such, is empowered to make decisions on her child's behalf. After weighing the advantages and disadvantages of the two punishment options, the parent elected to cut her child's hair rather than see her be incarcerated. She now regrets her decision and for some strange reason is blaming the judge for her choice.
Of course, those that engage in wrongdoing and the people who love them often believe they should not be punished for their misdeeds. Surprisingly, some people agree and believe that these folks are now the real "victims." Sometimes I think we live in a world where up is down and black is white.
