Kids can be very troublesome sometimes, with all their innocence on display. They keep playing pranks on people, not realising the damage it could create. But a barber in Florida taught a kid a good lesson by pretending to cut off his ear as the kid had left a fake cockroach in his shop. The kid, Vito and the barber, Jude Sannicandro are actually good friends and played pranks with each other. But Sannicandro's latest prank has made him famous on the internet, while some have laughed on it, others have criticised the barber for being insensitive. Uber Driver Throws Passenger in a Fountain in Manhattan!

Jude Sannicandro owns the Hair Medics in Naples and is a regular barber of Vito DiPalma. The two were having an ongoing prank war, playing fun with each other. DiPalma had placed a fake cockroach in his shop and it actually scared the owner. The barber's revenge, made the 10-year-old child cry and the internet fumed. He used a fake rubber ear and blood to convince Vito that he had cut off his ear while doing haircut. The boy got scared and started screaming 'mommy,' while Sannicandro told him it would be fine. He quickly grabbed some tissues in which he had the fake blood squeezer. On seeing more blood, the boy was really scared and calling for his mother.

Check out the video of the barber cutting off the child's ear as a prank: 

The video has got 7 lakh views along with some mixed reactions. The critics have called it 'awful' and 'harsh.' But the barber had done it under all care, even informing the child's parents that he would do such an act. So when the boy actually kept screaming for his mother, the mother too entered with a smile on her face. In fact, the barber informed that he had had a conversation with the boy about it. "I told Vito that he opened a can of worms, but he said that he wasn't scared and was too old to cry," Sannicandro was quoted. When Vito realised it was a prank, he had a smile on his face. The barber is sure Vito will have another bigger prank ready next.
