According to her, she had looked after the child’s hair for a period of three years.

She described the routine as something she had devoted herself to right from the early stages of the girl’s life.

The work involved had been consistent, and she regarded the growth as the result of sustained attention.

When she saw that the hair had been shortened, she felt her spirit sink.

The sight affected her deeply because the length represented years of careful maintenance.

The mother also indicated that the hair which was removed measured 18 inches and had been kept in its natural state.

She made clear that she had been responsible for its upkeep throughout that time.
