That's not a haircut for a child; that's a haircut for a 48 year-old accountant named Phyllis. (Notice that I didn't say it was a GOOD haircut... for anybody.) 

I don't know about you, but looking good for school picture day was kind of a big deal when I was a kid. We'd all wear our best outfits, run a plastic comb through those crooked bangs and generally do our best kid-spruce-up routine. The kids in this gallery, however... not so much.

Some of them are just victims of the times; you'll find some bad 80s 'dos, some terrible 90s spikes, and even one 1960s bouffant. Yet some of them are just plain bad taste, and for that I think we have to blame their parents. Seriously, who lets their kids walk around with a rat tail? Call child protective services, because that is some damn child abuse.

Click through to see them all -- you really have to see them to believe them!

The sad thing is, she obviously worked really hard to get her bangs to look that perfectly feathered.

Someone just gave up here. Either that or he did it himself... with his toes.

It couldn't just be a bowl cut. Oh no. It also had to have a rat tail/mullet.
