Dusting for Fingerprints, Interviewing suspects

Evidence:
  • Big chunk of hair missing over Indie's ear.
  • Even cut-not hair caught on a bush in the yard.
  • Easy access to scissors for all members of household.
  • Young Adventurer has been acting strangely for about 24 hours now. Asked to go to bed an hour early last night, skipped two meals yesterday, shows no sign of illness, seemed depressed--or is it guilt?
  • Young Adventurer is the only one of the three children who has ever cut his own hair.
  • If it had been Stevo, Dusty would have been shaved, not Indie, by his own admission, and due to Dusty's generally hostile behavior toward Stevo. 
  • No one else has probable cause.
The, uh, Suspect is fortunate that this was Indie of the ragged itchy scratchy coat, rather than princess Dusty, or I would be more upset. As it is, I am wondering what consequence would be an effective deterrent against a repeat...

We have had to institute a scissor ban for a second time this semester after another self-haircut a couple of days ago.

Did they conspire? Or was it just "the thing to do" this week?

No answers here, just camaraderie.
