Good for the school, but they shouldn’t have given them anything!
That’s the thinking that makes people think conservatives are stone cold, and probably idiots. It probably isn’t the kids fault. I can see debt collections, I can see sending the cops to the house to see why mom doesn’t provide lunch or lunch money to the kid, etc. I can see a lot of things here as ways to get to the bottom of it.
But humiliating the school kid and making them go hungry is screwed up. The normally guilt party doesn’t get any punishment.
Our school always notifies parents when that occurs.
