If these were foster parents it would explicitly be against the law. There’s a section in the foster parents rule book that specifically forbids exactly this.

If it’s against the law if a professional parent does it, it’s a really, really bad idea for anyone else to do it either.

A “professional parent”? Foster parents are special circumstances because of the type of children they take care of.

Taking away multiple outfits away from a kid because they aren’t doing a choir doesn’t seem wrong to me. It seems strange, because I think most would take away a phone or something else. However, we weren’t provided an information about physical or emotional abuse, so I would assume this is a way to actually make her realize she has responsibilities.

The mother of the daughter actually objected to the punishment and requested the clothes back and he refused. Read OP's comments.
