(Santa Clara, California) Six-year-old Christian Austin went to school with a bald head, not because he was sick, but because he wanted to. His thick, sandy-blond hair was cut off to give comfort to a classmate who has leukemia.
Christian said some of his schoolmates at the Montague Elementary school in Santa Clara, California, teased the other boy about his head, made bald by chemotherapy, so Christian chose to join his friend in baldness.
Christian told his mom that the other boy didn't have a choice about losing his hair. In allowing Christian to choose baldness, his mother gave her son an unforgettable faith shaping moment.
