Father outraged after he says son was denied meal at school

An outraged father came to 10News after he says a teacher denied his 10-year-old son a meal at school.

[@wendydomino]

If the kid is hungry he won't be able to focus properly on schoolwork so there's no reason he shouldn't have been able to have it.

[@chrisr4309]

Yea that teacher is mean

[@zachone172]

+Wendy Domino Nah that teacher isn't mean.. That kid is in 5th grade and it is his own decision to not get lunch if all he has to do is do his work. People pay tax money for kids to go to school and learn so they can get an education and keep society moving forward, not to sit around most likely playing in class and then cry when they don't get food. I'd rather my kid learn his lesson from not doing his work by not eating 1 meal out of his day than to get held back and go through that year again. You guys act like that 1 meal is going to kill him....

+Elite Winner you have a heart as cold as stone.

[@zachone172]

Layla LaDouceur No, I don't. The kid was told if he did the work he could eat. At that point, it is his decision on whether or not he eats. He can do the work and eat, or not do it and not eat. At that point, it is the kid that is holding himself back, not the teacher. If the kid did the work and the teacher didn't let him eat, then it is the teachers fault.

When I was in the 6th and 7th grade, my teacher assistant would throw out my lunch, and would regularly deny me lunch if I "didn't eat correctly". I am special needs, and that was unacceptable. My mom asked me why I would scarf down my dinner, and I told her why. Teacher was fired the next day.

I 100% agree with this man. I guaruntee you, that teacher was "personally offended" by the boy being "overweight" and decided he could stand to miss a few meals. Maybe his blood sugar was spiking without breakfast, how does she know? I used to teach elementary school. I started seeing the schools hiring these new teachers with smug judgemental attitudes towards their students for things like being overweight, poorly dressed kids, and began taking authority over kids they deemed to be needing punishment by denial of food, recess, bathroom breaks. I had students who had to go to the bathroom often because of health issues, and/or prescriptions they were taking to treat health issues like diabetics, undiagnosed diabetics! But, this teacher denied that man's son food for breakfast - food that is there at school for the children to eat. It gets tossed out - if uneaten or unused. This teacher's attitude sucks. If I was that student's parent, I would sue the school district. That's what we the people need to do, sue these smug people with elitist attitudes, like our out of control federal government spending trillions without the permission of we the tax payers, giving billions away to other countries!! Any company that mistreats or singles-out certain individuals to punish or to treat worse than others, should be sued.

Legally, maybe she can do that but morally, you can't deny someone a meal. Like, maybe they are super poor. Biologically speaking, some of the high in fat conent foods are cheap and expensive foods are typically the healthier food options. So maybe the dad is a big guy because he always buys unhealthy as a result of finances. I was speaking from a place of - don't eff up a child's development perspective as opposed to a legal one.

As a person who deals with low blood sugar. This is a nightmare to me. This woman is lucky this kid did not have this problem or she would have had something real bad on her hands. Also thank goodness this kid was ok. Hope he got to have some food that day.

[@CG-pj4dh]

Well if your child has low blood sugar im sure you would let the teachers and school nurse know. If there’s a health reason she would have let him go to second breakfast. I think the father should have fed his child or dropped him early for first breakfast. Or explained to the school that it’s crucial his son eats while at school. Because he may not afford food. Communication with adults is important because children do lie to get out of things. And many kids throw the food away because they weren’t really hungry

[@jagirl966]

I had a friend in middle school who was diabetic and the school took away the entire lunch she brought from home. All because there was a candy bar, in case her blood sugar dropped. The school didn't even allow her to have her insulin on school grounds, not even in the nurses office. They considered anything, other than Tylenol, a illegal substance or an healthy lunch. (Despite only selling fried, greasy foods and ice cream) We had a class together after lunch, so I snuck my fun-size candy in my pocket. When she asked to go to the nurse, I was asked to follow so "she doesn't leave the school". She collapsed and I just barely caught her. I snuck the candy in her mouth, whispered, "eat this and hold on" and booked it as fast as one piggybacking a fellow teen could. An ambulance was called and her blood sugar was so low, she could've died. I was told that bit of sugar I gave her was the only thing that kept her. The school demanded she tell them who gave her the "drugs" and she refused. Their excuse to them nearly killing her was, "she got her fix somehow". Many lawsuits came on them for other reasons, but she didn't even tell her parents until we graduated that I was the one who gave her the candy. They thanked me for saving her and all I said was, "it was just a feeling I had that she'd need it." I didn't understand diabetes and still kinda don't. All I knew was her blood sugar was going to be low and I knew that I would be called to "walk" her to the nurse. If she didn't eat something, something bad would happen. I didn't think she could die, but that was a very sobering experience, knowing you may have saved someone by doing something as tiny as giving them some candy.

[@ruttrevino5330]

I remember when I was in 4th grade there was a some lunch thing going on where if you didn’t pay for your lunch you didn’t get the food and in front of all the kids you would get your tray taken away for just a sandwich.. and I seen my best friend go through it every day and he got so tired of it he was always hungry he got sick.. so I hate when anyone gets denied food I think it’s cruel and children should be able to have the time to eat and not suffer till they get off school.. that’s y kids get sick too you know.

It's a fact of life now days of some parents having to leave for work before their able to feed their children breakfast. I know this takes place due to some class mates of my own daughters when she was in school this was taken place then. Nor were their parents poor. They just both had to be at work earlier which prevented them from doing so and wasn't able to do what most parents do , fix breakfast for their children. With some parents this is a fact both parents having to work and having to leave before they could feed their children breakfast. Some have no choice in the matter if they want to support their families. This is a fact of what's taking place and has been for awhile now. I know because my daughter is now 28 years old with children of her own . Were she was in grade school when this took place. I've seen it first hand. So please don't judge this father without having all the information into the situation. This breakfast isn't just for poor children either it's actually a program for all of kids . Due to some parents having to be at work early. It's part of a program put in place because kids were doing without breakfast not just the poor. Yes it was started saying it was for the poor. Because no one wanted it known that even parents who could afford food for their children their children was going to school without breakfast. So it was placed on the poor people to keep it from being know even parents better off , children was dealing with the same thing. If you don think so , will I've to spoken with parents first hand. Who were not poor dealing with this same thing. They were embarrassed about the matter. So once again things like this program was said to be designed for the poor .To protect the better off family's from such embarrassment as not having time to make this own children breakfast in the morning sending their children to school without breakfast due to their work hours. It's a government game that's being played. So again you don't know all the facts please don't judge this father. You don't know his situation.
