Daycare In Hot Water For Waxing Kids' Unibrows Right Off: Maybe Owed A Thank You
(CNN/KEPR) — Two young moms in Pasco, Washington are accusing a daycare on the Columbia Basin College campus of waxing their children's eyebrows.
Both moms say their children appeared normal when dropped off on Thursday morning.
Alyssa Salgado says she noticed the missing patch of hair after picking up her daughter Lilayiah that evening.
"I, like, got a closer look and I saw she was missing her patch of hair because she has a unibrow and she was born like that," Salgado said.
Salgado says she spoke to the daycare's director that night and Friday morning about the missing hair. She's also reached out to other moms from the daycare, including Glenda Maria Cruz, who also claims her son's unibrow was waxed that same day.
"I tried to touch his face. He doesn't let me touch his face. He says, ‘No, No, stop,’ and it hurts me because that's my baby," says Cruz.
The daycare is run by the Boys and Girls Club of Benton and Franklin Counties. At this time, the organization is investigating the complaint.

Ummm how about a thank you from the parents? It's a free spa day and these people have given you the best “out” of all time. You don’t have to be the parent who waxes your kids face, but you also don’t have to be the parent who has the kid with the unibrow. I don’t think this is offensive to say! Like, if you have a unibrow and you rock it, more power to you. That’s your choice, and you can wear it confidently. I just don’t trust a kid to rock a unibrow confidently, sorry!
I think any age lower than 14 you can take your kid’s face into your own hands. If you had an 8 year old who was sprouting a beard, I hope you’d fuckin’ shave it for that kid’s sake. My brother for years has decided to rock mutton chops that would make an 18th Century admiral proud. I hate them. I have debated shaving them in his sleep, and I have dreamt of setting his face on fire to wipe out whatever impurities those sideburns have deposited on what was once a handsome Dufty mug. Alas, I do not. I do not shave his face, and I do not set his face on fire. The kid’s 18, he can do what he wants. The chicks are probably going to dig that shit in college. It says this dude’s confident and has an appreciation for historical fashion and naval warfare. It’s ultimately on him, and who am I to speak? I rocked an Abe Lincoln chinstrap for all of 8 months my freshman year. Mark my words though, if he was 10-years-old, he’d be getting the salon treatment. I’d send him to this daycare so fucking fast he wouldn’t have time kiss his photo of General Ambrose Burnside goodbye.
It’d be just like when you go the barber and you throw in a couple of extra bucks for a clean shave and a good eyebrow scissoring (always very scary). I’d drop him off at daycare and slip the attendant a fiver just to slip a little benadryl in the pudding and whip out the wax paper at naptime. “Give him the full treatment” I’d quip with a wink and nudge as I patted my little brother on the head and urged him to make sure he finished all of his custard and sleep tight. So parents, unless your kid is the next Anthony Davis, do them a favor and keep that shit in line. There's a line in the sand somewhere between the ages of 16-19 where you can no longer be blamed for the fashion choices your child makes, because before you cross that line it's all on you. It's your duty to keep them well fed, groomed, and hydrated until they’re old enough to vote, buy cigarettes, get pregnant, and look bad without it being your fault.
