I wouldn't be surprised if Mr. Schnee acted like a normal caring dad in public, trying to get Weiss to come with him so they can talk about something private, and people other than Team RWBY are just like "Geez, what's wrong with her? He just wants to talk. Stop being a rebellious bratty teen and go talk to your dad, wow."

But then as soon as they're alone, he goes full "emotionally abusive asshole" mode, maybe even grabs her arm.

And if I was the writer... Man. Once their little conversation was over, Weiss would walk away, trying to put on a tough face like what he said had no effect, but as she's walking away, that facade starts to break and she starts tearing up, so she hurries off to a bathroom to cry it out and compose herself. Maybe she even looks in a mirror at her scar.
