The New York boys had to endure the insults and taunts of their peers, but when their mother found out, she cut their hair. The others felt ashamed and broke down in tears as they realized what had motivated them to let their hair down.
Two pairs of twins, a 10-year-old and a sixth boy who is not a brother, reside in Cheektowaga, New York. All six children have let their hair grow out long, which has resulted in daily bullying by their classmates.
