Hong Kong vice-principal reported for allegedly waving scissors at boy in hair row
A father has reported the vice-principal of a Hong Kong secondary school to police after he allegedly waved a pair of scissors at his son, who had been told to cut his hair. The 15-year-old student at Christian Alliance S C Chan Memorial College in Tuen Mun had reportedly been in a dispute with the school for some time over the length of his fringe, which school authorities said violated grooming regulations. Tensions reportedly escalated at the school's end-of-term ceremony on Monday when the vice-principal, 57, allegedly brandished a pair of scissors during a private meeting with the Form Three student and told him to cut his hair. The boy's father, 40, brought his son back to school for an explanation on Tuesday. After waiting some time without seeing the principal, the father called police to report the matter. A police spokesman said the case was currently being handled as a dispute. The school said it had launched an internal investigation and was cooperating with police and the family involved. It said it was committed to handling the case with fairness.
