Hair will grow back - or not, if the youngster likes the look and can live with the reactions.

What's the issue here?

There isn't one, and that's the point.
People are primed to react with outrage to anything the media reports as unusual, because the media only reports the outrageous. "If it bleeds, it leads," and all that.
So the media reports something mildly unusual on a slow news day, and it suddenly gets blown out of proportion and you have a mother indulging unusual fashion sense turned into a child abuse case.
