A ten-year-old from Utah faced the ultimate punishment when her stepmother discovered she was bullying another student for her wardrobe: she was forced to wear thrift store clothesto feel empathy for her victim.
The girl, Kaylee, had to attend school for two days in outfits that were purchased for under $50.
Teaching her a lesson: Kaylee's stepmother made her wear this outfit as punishment for making fun of another student's wardrobe
These thrift store clothes were purchased for under $50
Kaylee's stepmother Ally, (who wanted to keep their last name anonymous), discovered the child was bullying another student after a teacher told her that the victim no longer wanted to attend school.
In an e-mail to Ally, the teacher reported that Kaylee had been 'harassing' the student for at least three weeks and was tearing apart her wardrobe.
At one point, she even told the other student that she 'dressed liked a sleaze.'
Those accusations prompted Ally to talk to her stepdaughter.
When Kaylee didn't take that seriously, Ally decided take matters in her own hands to teach her stepdaughter a lesson.
'Someone not wanting to go to school anymore based off of something that one other little person said to them. I mean, that’s huge, that’s damaging.'
Ally traveled to a local thrift store and spending just under $50 brought home outfits Kaylee would never wear.
A mile in her shoes: Kaylee admitted that when she saw the thrift store clothes she cried
The unique punishment did work: Kaylee admits she learned her lesson
Last Thursday, before getting ready for school, Kaylee had a cheap outfit and some sneakers awaiting her.
Kaylee told KSTU-TV that she actually cried when she first saw the clothes. According to her when she showed up to school classmates, '[talked] behind her back.'
However, Kaylee confirmed that she had learned a lesson.
