fair point, and I certainly don’t wish any pain and suffering on this individual. My suspicion is the best treatment is likely to do nothing and wear a head covering until it grows out enough to cut it off. Questionable whether there will be scalp damage to prevent hair regrowth, if so more likely do to attempts to dissolve or otherwise remove the glue than the glue itself.
perhaps this is not an individual failure so much as a failure in education, parenting, and societal expectations.
schools need a “life skills” class, including things like how to balance a checkbook, how to read labels on products, basics on life, car, renters, and home insurance, job application skills including communications, presentation, and resume writing. Family planning, factually information on alcohol, prescription and nonprescription drugs, and STDs. I don’t think most of our kids or adults are lacking on IQ points, but as in this case, they either don’t (or can’t) read the labels.
that’s frightening. I don’t think Spray Adhesive is generally carried in the hair products/cosmetics isle (although perhaps a poorly trained or illiterate store clerk may have mixed it up with the Gorilla Snot product.) What if someone with these life skills was shopping for Hawaiian Punch and picked up hydraulic fluid instead?
parents and schools are failing our children. In this case likely (and hopefully only temporarily) resulting in a cosmetic problem. Could have been far worse.
