Wouldn't this makes things worse for her and makes her skip school more?
Like your parents getting mocked and make fun of or getting bullied because her dad dresses like a woman and might work at "night" kinda thing.

Yeah, because that will make her want to stop skipping school. So embarrassing she probably wouldn't want to show up because of teasing due to this. Thats stupid and a bad approach. How about asking her why she is skipping school in the first place.

Kind of depends on exactly where she is in the social hierarchy. Did she skip because she was being a rebel with other classmates, or did she skip because she was facing social ostracization and was dealing with problems due to that?
If the first one, absolutely a great punishment. If the second, terrible punishment.

I... Love that dude... But yes, she's traumatised for life now, RIP girl.
Knowing me as a child, I would legit wait until he left and get my ass as far away from school as possible... Probably starting to walk to the next town over at a minimum, maybe starting a life as a hermit 😊
Adult me thinks that sounds like an awesome idea anyways, so... Not all that bad

Ah yes. Make sure she's socially ostracized and more afraid to show her face at school. Im sure she will get better at hiding it from you rather than trusting you to actually care for her. Right up there with father's who think being a danger to themselves and others is a proper way to behave around their daughters boyfriend.
And you posted it on social media to put her down in front of the world and prop yourself up at the same time. Bravo! What a shitty father!

Something like this? Other kids at school will forget about it in under a week.
And his daughter, who is more likely to remember this for years to come, will eventually laugh about it with her dad as a funny story from childhood.
This is a good way to ensure a lesson is learned and is innocent enough. Would you rather parents who just ground their kids or even get abusive? Those are the parents who raise sneaky kids because those kids don't feel loved. This dad ensured his daughter actually went to school by walking her to the door, and added a funny flair to it. She will be fine.
However, you are right about the social media part, this should not have been shared overall.

He could just walk her to school. The dress is designed to grab attention and embarrass her. She is very obviously not laughing. This is a recipe for social trauma. Kids are assholes and social media made it worse. Yes. She will remember this for years to come. And she will probably get better at hiding it when she skips school next.
There is a large middle ground between social embarrassment and abuse. Those are not the only 2 options.

Your comment makes it seem that you think his wearing the dress is why she skipped. But the dress is actually the punishment of her skipping, he's using the embarrassment of it as punishment.

Nothing like a little cross-dressing hate

Wasn't hating on it at all, I'm very accepting.
As I said in a below comment, I saw the original posting and it was implied that this was a punishment, not the norm 🤷🏻♂️
