Unfortunately I don't think it would ever be considered Child Abuse. BUT, I am sure it hurt badly. The best way to remove gum from hair or clothing is to use ice. Freeze small amounts at a time and scrape it. If it doesn't involve much hair or is not in a noticeable place, I would remove it by cutting it out. So much easier and less painful. Ice does work. My son thought he ruined a shirt his girlfriend gave him from her workplace after he fell asleep with gum in his mouth. He woke to find the gum all over the front of the shirt. When I had him use a cube of ice he was totally shocked to find how easy it was to scrape the gum off. To this day, she still doesn't know there was ever any gum on the shirt. ;-)

No. He should have used baby oil to make it come out better, thus causing little to no discomfort for anyone. Hey, not everyone has all the answers on how to do things ya know. Stuff happens. As long as he gave his kid a hug afterwards, he's being a good dad. What kinda dad would let his kid run around with gum in his hair anyway, huh? At least he cared enough to try. Give 'em a break! <*)))><

if the gum isn't close to to the basis, positioned some boiling water in a cup and dip that strand of hair in it, shop it there for like 5 minutes. in case you have rubbing or surgical alcohol positioned a number of that in the time of there too. Then after a definite time take the hair out and get out as lots extra water as achieveable. Then get an outstanding enamel come and slowly brush it out in a single action if it doesnt artwork the 1st time positioned the comb bigger up and brush by back.

Goodness, no. Maybe if the kid cried and got beat over it, but trying to get gum out is not abuse. It may not have been the best course of action, but that is far from abuse.
