Yes, you are correct. Abused by the parents first, then the School. NEGLECT too by both. The parents are spending the money on Alcohol and drugs. No child should go hungry and/or humilated by the school.
@@janephillips3627 It may not be that the parents "spend the money on drugs or alcohol" ... depending on where they live, housing can take a huge chunk out of the family budget.

Vasili Panin ok You need to stop, as a child you never threw any food away? You where a perfect angel. I don’t think so. Get off you high horse. You don’t punish one child, one child that’s hungry because another is childish and throws it away. Childish child growing and learning. Did you ever go hungry as a child? Maybe your an over privileged individual who does not really know what this is like and was also not taught compassion. I also want to know where you got your numbers from, that sounds ridiculous. Growing up in school I only saw maybe two trash cans of trash a day thrown away from lunch area and very little of it was food that could still be eaten, and it was a medium size school. If you feel sorry for the food being thrown away demand they give it to the children that ask for it because they are hungry. Have them hand it out to the homeless if the children don’t want it, If you care so much about the food more than the children. Children throwing away food are parents and/or adults fault take it up with them, don’t take it out on children. More than likely children do this because they see adults do it and be wasteful with food. Are you a wasteful adult? You don’t have to answer, just think about what you do and what you see other adults doing. I’ve seen many adults being very wasteful and have asked if they could do something useful with it and not just throw it, at least make compost. Maybe you and others can be more productive to a problem and not just only try to shame children. Children’s faults fall on adults. Children are learning and and adults should be setting better examples.
Adults shaming and denying food to children for the debt of the parents? Is America great yet? What a disgusting country! Evil is as evil does. The world is finally beginning to see the true American values instead of their propoganda.
This may sound unpopular and mean. But if your kids only getting one meal a day, and it's from school.... Social services need to be called, Because that parent is incapable of sustaining their child if they really can't buy food
Then the county needs to pay for it. The companies that run the school lunch program don’t have the funding to just hand out food free. They’re on an extremely tight budget.
Well said. Sending rocket to moon but cannot afford giving lunch to student who really needed? Fuck those thing.. Even poor country giving free lunch to their students.
How do they expect children to learn if their temporal needs aren’t even being met? On top of not eating, shamed/bullied by peers and adults...how do you even expect them to stay focused in class and on assignments by emotional abuse and neglect?
The sad part there’s usually a lot of food leftover and the schools throw it away anyways. I worked in schools and not all the lunches get eaten. We throw away so much it’s disgusting.
Many, many years ago when my son was in elementary school, they had a policy to feed ALL children even if a parent had forgot to put money in the child’s account. No child went hungry. To shame a child and not feed them, especially if it is a public school is UNFORGIVABLE!!!
Starve!?!? Nononono you are so wrong kiddo, ur talking to a kid who even myself couldn't afford lunch. Trust me when I say there's food at home then kid's just lazy
and that's why many people who are parents shouldn't be. if you can't afford the basic necessities for a child, don't have one (or at least until you're in a better financial situation, if you really want them).
I'm gonna have to agree with @erised , my parents couldn't afford lunch for me, and sometimes school lunched sucked...so I learned to hustle to buy my own food or prep myself a lunch with whatever was at home....sure a lot of people on here that had incompetent kids...I was shamed once, then after I felt embarrassed and post off at my parents, I just started to figure out on my own how to feed myself and prep my own food.... what's the saying " what hardens the egg also softens the potato"
@@MaxG-jk8ty System abuse actually is not 'rampant' it is just that is what the media shows us, unfortunately, most low-income families are just struggling to get by and they are all vilified by the media and those who a classist over what a very small minority of people do.
@@martinwoollett8468 Nothing's free in life. Worrying about the cost of the meals and where that money comes from *IS* an important concern, whether you accept it or not. If you "put feeding the kids ahead of money", you will soon run out of money and no one gets fed. You have to live in the real world. Now, don't get me wrong. I support what this lunch lady did, but you just can't ignore the reality that there's no such thing as a free lunch because in the end, someone has to pay the piper.
I cried not long after watching this, it just brought back painful memories from elementary school. I don’t understand why schools do things like this.
I remember 25+ years ago at Dekalb Lincoln school. A teacher used that excuse to take my lunch away from me. My parents never paid our lunch bill late. No apology from her. Now looking on how I was treated by her compared to my white counterparts. She was doing this to teach a young black kid to stay in his place. She lost that battle. I still spoke up to her and other and still do to this day.
@@Americansikkunt actually let's create a world where we have a little more compassion and empathy and not put a mark on anyone. Instead of shaming people why don't we create a world that helps those people. Instead of cutting that rope to those under us why don't be turn the rope into a ladder and help them up to the same level as us. The only people that should be shamed are the ones who encourage the shaming of those going through hardship the easy target.
Kev McCormick Why? Because that is a fantasy land. You’re speaking non-sense fluff-words, that you think sound good. Fixing the issue of starving children isn’t a matter of “a little more compassion “(money/taxation, I’m assuming is what you meant). And if you’re not advocating for some socialist/communist utopia, just know “teaching men to fish” and not “giving men fish” is the best, most compassionate option.
@@Americansikkunt clearly your an American! I never said anything about taxation or socialism ect even though I am a proud socialist there is a big difference between socialism and communism. I advise self education not education by the system your then only being taught what benefits the system the most, in America yous are brainwashed from birth that socialism and communism are all the same thing and there all the worst evil in the world. When a government are so adamant to enforce a way of thinking on its citizens then they always have a ulterior motive. What I was saying wasn't in a sense of what to do to help them it was more in a sense of being a better person the world is full of selfish cunts after all. How would you feel as a 12 year old kid and your parents lost there jobs and couldn't afford to pay for your school lunch, if you even attempt to say you would still encourage shaming then your clearly bullshiting. You said teach a man to fish yes I believe in that totally, I don't agree with the giving a man a fish but If the modern world is so good then how come less and less people are now unable to do the most basic of task such as cook themself food, they depend of companies providing that food (giving a man a fish) the world isn't a socialist world but yet we are not teaching people to support themselves it's the total opposite. Also could you please explain how public shaming is helping someone please explain what help public shaming actually does? I didn't know you could pay bill with shame
Kev McCormick Kev McCormick Kev McCormick Kev McCormick “How would you feel if you 12, and your parents couldn’t afford lunch”. I would feel hungry, first of all. You acknowledge “giving a man a fish” is wrong, yet you simultaneously suggest the world basically needs socialism. You’re contradicting yourself. Why do you expect “the modern world” to do anything, let alone teach “man basic tasks”? You can’t rely on the government to do that, and never has the government been responsible for that, so why do you advocate for such an unnatural state of affairs? Also, what is your obsession with “shame”? Shame is a part of life and daily learning. Children need to be shamed, in some cases, to not be violent/mean/break-the-rules. It’s clear that the parents of those children HAVE NO SHAME, so how can they pay using their shame (hehe)? And just like the parents are allowed to live off the hard-work and good-will of others, shame-free as you promote, so too will the child. This results in generational dependence and only causes more suffering. The TRULY compassionate shame those who need shaming. And SHAME ON YOU, for advocating such harmful mentalities.
Indeed it should be free, as was my school lunch in the UK which was inclusive of the tuition fee, which in itself is becoming more and more unaffordable.
Beautiful World no it’s usually not child abuse it’s usually because the parent can’t afford to have 3 meals a day either way we should focus on feeding the child first and then tackle why they’re not being fed
Beautiful World have you considered that not every town has food banks or programs that help out low income family’s. Also on backpack programs there’s usually a only certain number of kids they can give food to. We aren’t taking about shit parents that abuse kids Im talking about low income families that can’t afford food. Family’s that can afford food but fail to feed kids is something cps needs to be involved with but honestly even they do shit jobs of protecting children. And the American system isn’t focused on kids they’re focused on money. Most “free public schools” have student dues at the end of the year and that “free lunch” just gets added to a tab. Also animals aren’t plagued by a money system humans need money to get food so i have no idea why you thought that was a good argument and considering how much of our tax money goes into our military invading other countries I think we’d have no problem helping every child get at least one free meal a day
@Beautiful World I am Mexican, grew up in Mexico and of course went to a mexican school and I never had to pay for my books. Now, I am from central Mexico so maybe you got that idea from another region? Also, I love beans and tortillas but it is not enough to have a balanced meal that any kid needs. We do have some programs in the most impoverished regions to feed kids at school and government stores called CONASUPOs that sell basic foods for the cost of the production. Also, it was clarified that the lady could not feed her daughter that food because of health problems and the people providing the food were being quite rude to her.

How do you allow a child to starve like that?? Knowing he’s hungry and excited for chicken nuggets. All School Lunches Should Be FREE - it’s ridiculous that there’s no budget for that.
A teacher once told me that you can tell if a student hadn’t eaten anything ALL weekend. And it’s watching which kid, Monday at lunch time is ravenous with their food.
Do the schools really think that the majority of those parents want to default on paying for their kids lunches? They clearly can't afford to pay. Can you imagine how bad that parent and child feels already? And then for the family to go hungry on top of that.... This triggered me really bad. Even as a child, I remember the stress and understood how devastating it was for us to not qualify for the free lunch. We qualified maybe 1 year out of 12. The rest of the time, we were just shy of the qualifying mark. When I became old enough, I worked during lunch serving lunch so that I could get a comped meal. There are times that I wish my situation was unique. It makes me so sad to be witness to others still suffering from the same.
Question: I don't mean to sound offensive if I do I apologize. Does the government pay the teachers well. Because if that's not the case I think that led to schools doing that lunch debt situation. Cuz essential workers don't get money they deserve so more or less blaming schools isn't the thing. I wouldn't know what both sides of the spectrum are going through and also you could say there are those who are financial up to par (rich people) working in the school system as well so I wouldn't take away from anyone's argument about that. I'd just like to say the government is another essential part of the problem as well for that. If the essential workers got what they work for (because being a teacher ain't easy) then maybe those teachers wouldn't recommend that. If I am wrong I will accept that I am wrong on these statements if anyone's brings their opinion to the table.
I live in Canada but my school started a program for students who dont have the opportunity to eat breakfast, so they feed them cereal and yogurt and breakfast bars, and a juice box to drink. This needs to be a thing everywhere. And guess what, it's all done for free
I actually called the school board over the fact that the "honor roll" students got to get in the lunch line first. The way they serve the students who are obviously healthy get to eat first. Meanwhile those who are struggling and need the nutrition wait for their lunch. RIDICULOUS. Needless to say they stopped that practice Immediately. Going to take the Karen position in this one.
She really had a choice. I wouldna done it. Idve stood there while he ate and knocked anyone the fuck out whom even LOOKED like they were coming my way, AND I would've smiled in the mugshot.
@@thegayestgoth she did but i commend her for realizing she made the wrong choice and speaking up. Plus some other lunch lady would have just thrown out the food. Her speaking out does a lot of good. There’s also probably policy forbidding staff from purchasing lunches for kids and some people don’t have money to pay for a lunch. I couldn’t work in a school either, I’d just get fired immediately and throw hands at someone trying to abuse a child. I am a very non confrontational person but seeing people harm children breaks me.
This happened to me in middle school. Never mind being made fun of every day for my scoliosis, teachers like my 7th grade Spanish teacher that just let the bullying happen in her classroom when half the class was making fun of me but when my dad lost his job because his boss never payed his taxes and the irs shut down his business leaving my dad unemployed I couldn't afford lunch. So when I got in line with my food I had to hand it all back at the register in front of everyone and was handed a piece of paper saying why I was denied lunch. Just left the lunch room and went to sit outside my next class untill it was time for it to start
I grow up in Japan and everyone looking forward what’s going to be served. School lunches was part of budget as blackboard and teachers pay, even teachers ate with us(elementary class). School lunch should be FREE.
@Just some guy That’s a god It's 2020 get the parents to credit an account somehow. Online or in a post office/bank using their cash or by direct debit, whatever. There's at least a dozen ways you can avoid sending kids in with physical cash. OR HERE'S AN IDEA maybe the richest, "greatest" country on earth could find a few pennies to make sure every child gets a hot meal once a day Monday to Friday? I mean they wage wars around the world and they've landed on the moon six times? Yet if little Billy can't afford his dinner they give him one then humiliate him and take it away? America is a joke (edit) and from years of working in catering I know that once food goes to the customer and comes back, it can't go out to somebody else, it has to go in the bin. So they're literally showing the kid what their parents cannot afford, taking it back from them and throwing it in the trash. Kid goes hungry and the dinner goes in the bin. ABSOLUTE DISGRACE
@H Y drumpf had kids in cages. the horrible atrocities of clinton, bush2, and bush3(also known as obama) dont excuse the atrocities of drumpf. each one is responsible for what happens on their watch.
@Juliana Maio youre a moronic bootlicker who clings to an illusory concept of money backed by material that is only attributed worth because its pretty (gold)
in my opinion you shouldn't have kids if you can't afford to pay for their basic necessities (i know school lunch should be free, and ofc you're excepted if you were laid off or lost a job)
Knowing the pain of not having funds when I was young we did what we could to get by… that being said we also didn’t things of want over things of necessity! Clothes, hand me downs, second hand toys, bare minimum’s! When I see people who say they have no money but some how wear 300 $ gym shoes and high end clothing, manicures, so on and so on! The children suffer from bad hygiene,no food,sub standard living conditions this makes me cry! Yes no kid should be hungry ever! Not everyone is the same but general common sense is really lacking! My heart and love go out to all!
@H Y I would really enjoy having a conversation with you... You said....The cages for illegal aliens coming into AMERICA were started by Obama... In your mind...Where are the Borders of AMERICA?
That’s not what’s going on. The schools have many delinquent parents who don’t pay, even after many requests. Get a nonprofit together to donate lunch for all the kids, rich or poor. That’s the only way out of this without spending billions of tax dollars across the country.
@@warpedone3711 Your deflection is showing. It's a bad situation made worse by frivolous neglect. What you’re suggesting IMO is, as if she saw a bleeding body on the street and instead of administering aid, she stole their shoes off their feet, the money out of their pockets and then kicked them in teeth - just because she could. That’s just my opinion. Here are some FACTS: Article including timeline and video since 1990s: educationvotes.nea.org/2019/03/22/devos/ Article including timeline and video since 1990s: educationvotes.nea.org/2019/03/22/devos/
@@qoqopepper what deflection This has been going on since I was in school you all make it sound like it's something brand new. They throw millions of dollars into the educational budget nothing changed. Before graduating back in the early '80s I shared my lunch with a kid that couldn't afford it. After the housing market crashed I was out of work to keep my kids fed I tried for the reduced lunch and they told me to get a job. I Work with a guy whose kids go to school a hour early for free breakfast plus get a free lunch. Because of a federal program in our schools. So does that mean the school that the woman works for use the money for something other than what it was designed for?
@@warpedone3711 What I meant by deflection is that your argument redirects to another topic. My comment was based on the video - which is CURRENT. devos is the CURRENT sec of ed. So, when you take the matter back to your childhood for this discussion to me, it's a deflection. IF WE COULD CHANGE THE PAST, WOULD WE NOT CHOOSE TO DO SO? History and data backs your view that public schools suck. In my experience: private vs public schools, there is a VAST DIFFERENCE IN THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION. My initial comment was to point out that the person who is CURRENTLY in the position to make decisions on how to improve the education system is part of the problem. NO she didn’t create it. AND yet, she is making it worse by her presence. When you’re part of the problem - you AIN’T part of the solution. When you speak on the corruption within the education system no one with a pulse will [or should] deny the point. Take a look at her record; her confirmation hearing -- her RESPONSES; and her actions in the position. SHE IS PART OF THE PROBLEM.
I remember paying for other students lunch when I was just a student too in high school. I am 37 now, and I still remember feeling so embarrassed for those fellow classmates.
Let not forget about how they use to call you up front the class to pay your reduce lunch and embarrass you for paying in change. Shameful to treat children like that.
It takes a "special" kind of person to take a meal away from a child. I empathized with the cafeteria worker, you could feel the pain of the situation. Fortunately, when I was kid, I had a job delivering papers for the Moultrie Observer and would collect bottles for deposits. I mean my mom would pay for my card; but she was a single mom and I did what I could. Think about today; what would people say if they saw an 8 year old doing stuff like that; there'd be a video somewhere. I think with the current state we find our country in; I think we can all agree that if our society had more education from the pre-school age to high school; we would be doing a lot better. How many people grew up with music class, civics, 4-H, not to mention extracurricular activities? Society is judged on how it treats it's children and it's elderly. I think we could do a lot better for both.
This reminds me of my 1st day of year 8 at school. During the summer my (single) mum bought me my school uniform, school supplies, books etc but couldn't afford to also get me my PE kit. She told me she would get it for me when she got paid the Friday after I started school. I went into the changing rooms and told my teacher that I didn't have kit and explained why and said I would have it the following week. She properly screamed at me in my face. She said that I was irresponsible and had to take better responsibility for myself. I then repeated that my mum just didn't have the money and she said ''Well you should have told your mum that she had to buy you a kit. You should have made sure she bought you one''. I would never speak to my mum like that. I was only 12 and she made me cry in front of all the other 30 girls in my class. It impacted my self esteem for a LONG time.
It's pretty shameful that some people taking these things as 'business as usual', where you can't eat if you don't pay. They're just kids. Some of them didn't even understand how the concept works. They just can't take everything away. They should at least provide something minimum for those kids to eat. It's not like we got big percentage of parents who can't pay for their kid's food. There's no harm covering one or two kids. And, I'm pretty sure that food that's being taken ends up either in the trash or staff's table.
When I was a kid my mum got me a lunch order every day and my teacher tried to reprimand her for it cause another kid was jealous, when my mum found out it was a kid who almost never had lunch she started ordering a lunch order for him every day too. We became fast friends and she would make me take extra food for him to take home so she knew he had dinner.
My school will give you lunch anyway and just put more money on the debt for your parents to handle whenever they can. Or a teacher will pay for your lunch for you.
When I was younger I kept forgetting to pay my debt so they took my tray away. My fam wasn’t financially unstable I was just a really forgetful kid. Luckily they were kind enough to still give me a sandwich. It wasn’t great but at the time it didn’t really bother me cuz I was young. My school was smart and they had a little area where you could put the food you didn’t want so that other kids could have it if they were hungry. I think other schools should do that too.
But some teachers need to feed their children too. I'd Blame the government overall for not having the essential workers get played enough for the work. Then this wouldn't have been an issue and "school debt" wouldn't have been a thing. Maybe ....
Beautiful World In the UK in some schools it’s the same rules in the US but in primary schools aka elementary in US it’s free i’m not sure for me it was at least
I was “the lunch lady” and trust me having to do this would hurt my heart. I would let them sneak and have a play when I could. Smh lunch should be free if you ask me. The same reason parking on college campuses should be free as well if I’m already coming out of pocket for tuition. Smh America is backwards smh 🤦🏽♀️
Democrats control the programs, and blacks, hispanics and elitist white people keep the Democrats in power, so the schools will never get better no matter how many trillions are spent... YES, I actually meant TRILLIONS that the Democrats supposedly spent, but think about it, if they had simply GIVEN the money away, no kid in America would even have to ever get a job! So why pretend educate them?? Simple, political control, Politicans are millionaires!!
Poor child i cant even imagine what he does after school or after what happened the lunch lady is so guilty that she quit its rlly sad how this cruel world is getting more cruel and being filled with hate and shame😢
Thank you for taking a stand. We have so much food in this country, we throw so much away, no one should ever be hungry. Obviously there is still hunger. I know what I'm talking about because I have taken the trash out and my stepmother has cooked in the kitchens. This shaming is dying a ragged death today. Enough, I've heard enough. Thank you for calling my attention to a subject I had forgotten about for the same reasons
One time I did not have money to pay for my lunch and I told the lunch lady if I could pay her next day. She looked at me and said of course you can. I would not have eaten that day. My love to ladies like this.
They are adults🙄 when I was a child, my dad traded in his food stamps for drugs. (to cope with my mothers death) There was nothing I as a child could do to prevent him from taking away our food source. It resulted in me stealing from stores to eat.
If you don't follow orders you're fired. If you quit you can get another job. Get fired and you'll struggle to get re-employed. Hence US cops beat or kill someone, get "placed on administrative leave" and quickly dip and get another job before they get fired. "WHY HASN'T THAT COP BEEN FIRED" "oh he resigned already" 😐
Yes that’s right do the right thing always. She should of recorded it. What a coward to agree with her boss and scar that poor child for life. Then the fat bitch quits, too late the damage was done.
This is terrible. Don't they give lunch vouchers to the low paid workers for the children. This really hit me hard. Time to ask my son in law if this is what happened. It breaks my heart to see this.
I think lunch should be free. How come prisoners eat free and babies go hungry in school. That’s cruel

Yes it should.
There’s no such thing as free. For there to be no charge at point of service, then people need to be prepared to pay higher school taxes.

This may sound unpopular and mean. But if your kids only getting one meal a day, and it's from school.... Social services need to be called, Because that parent is incapable of sustaining their child if they really can't buy food
Then the county needs to pay for it. The companies that run the school lunch program don’t have the funding to just hand out food free. They’re on an extremely tight budget.
rgalang74 exactly!
No budget for free school lunches, but plenty for war, or prisons, or corporate welfare, what a sick societal practice this is.
It's the Republican way
Well said. Sending rocket to moon but cannot afford giving lunch to student who really needed? Fuck those thing.. Even poor country giving free lunch to their students.
Its the republican way. psh!
@@Chatatuchi please, shut up.
@@ganqing8946 u butt hurt?
Makes me tear up because I was one of those kids that had their lunch taken away before..most embarrassing moment ever
Awww I’m so sorry that happened 😭. Schools should be ashamed. Horrible
How do they expect children to learn if their temporal needs aren’t even being met? On top of not eating, shamed/bullied by peers and adults...how do you even expect them to stay focused in class and on assignments by emotional abuse and neglect?
Perfectly said
this comment needs more attention...
The sad part there’s usually a lot of food leftover and the schools throw it away anyways. I worked in schools and not all the lunches get eaten. We throw away so much it’s disgusting.
Damn
Yes the same with my schools. Plenty of food left over.
They don't throw it away .they sell it to pig farms as pig swill.
something tells me all this is about to change, with a major depression coming, no room for waste,,
I Agree !
HOPE SHE FOUND A BETTER JOB --- AT LEAST SHE HAS A SOUL TO GO HOME WITH.
Amen! She really did a righteous thing! And something should be done about that school's moral responsibility and practices
10-4!
Many, many years ago when my son was in elementary school, they had a policy to feed ALL children even if a parent had forgot to put money in the child’s account. No child went hungry. To shame a child and not feed them, especially if it is a public school is UNFORGIVABLE!!!
Whoever made the decision to take lunch trays away is Despicable
🥺❤️ make a child starve? Wtf is wrong with people
I had to starve everyday at lunch at my school for 1 and a half years because my school is ran by monsters
Starve!?!? Nononono you are so wrong kiddo, ur talking to a kid who even myself couldn't afford lunch. Trust me when I say there's food at home then kid's just lazy
i remember at my school if you didn’t have like 5 cents you couldn’t eat breakfast i stopped eating at school after that
because black lives matter is more important
@@TheReverendJonnyNemo in your opinion
Children can't help it if their parents don't pay. Children shouldn't be humiliated like that in front of peers.
and that's why many people who are parents shouldn't be.
if you can't afford the basic necessities for a child, don't have one (or at least until you're in a better financial situation, if you really want them).
I'm gonna have to agree with @erised , my parents couldn't afford lunch for me, and sometimes school lunched sucked...so I learned to hustle to buy my own food or prep myself a lunch with whatever was at home....sure a lot of people on here that had incompetent kids...I was shamed once, then after I felt embarrassed and post off at my parents, I just started to figure out on my own how to feed myself and prep my own food.... what's the saying " what hardens the egg also softens the potato"
My sister was a school teacher in a poor district in calif where the principal was paid over $400000 per year. What is wrong with this picture.
Or can not pay.
@@AnaMartinez-kx1wx
You expect a first grader, 6 year old to fend for himself. Just because you did it, doesn't mean every child can. Queen bee!
This should NEVER happen. A child should never be turned away 💔
I was one of those kids for many years. Recess became a little longer. I became very humble... And hungry at times. I'm still alive, it's a miracle! 😂
MAKE SCHOOL LUNCHES FREE
@@MaxG-jk8ty System abuse actually is not 'rampant' it is just that is what the media shows us, unfortunately, most low-income families are just struggling to get by and they are all vilified by the media and those who a classist over what a very small minority of people do.
It cost money to make the food. 🤦🏾♂️
@Beautiful World
you know the food the parents buy also gets eaten by the kids, right? right?
you know this?
@Agnes Smith Europe feeds it's kids, only america puts money before people.
@@martinwoollett8468 Nothing's free in life. Worrying about the cost of the meals and where that money comes from *IS* an important concern, whether you accept it or not. If you "put feeding the kids ahead of money", you will soon run out of money and no one gets fed. You have to live in the real world. Now, don't get me wrong. I support what this lunch lady did, but you just can't ignore the reality that there's no such thing as a free lunch because in the end, someone has to pay the piper.
In Japan lunch is free, I went to school there for a few days and they actually served healthy food too
“Oooh! chicken nuggets!” 🥺😭
This is *STILL HAPPENING* in 2019? For the love of god, we pay taxes. Feed the kids.

How sad this woman did the right thing god bless her.
She should have refused to do it though..
I remember 25+ years ago at Dekalb Lincoln school. A teacher used that excuse to take my lunch away from me. My parents never paid our lunch bill late. No apology from her. Now looking on how I was treated by her compared to my white counterparts. She was doing this to teach a young black kid to stay in his place. She lost that battle. I still spoke up to her and other and still do to this day.
God bless these children .I remember not having lunch money when in school. It shames a child and affects them for the rest of their lives.
Publicly marking kids? Kids are mean enough already. Kudos to that lady.
Let’s mark their parents, the real ones responsible
@@Americansikkunt actually let's create a world where we have a little more compassion and empathy and not put a mark on anyone. Instead of shaming people why don't we create a world that helps those people. Instead of cutting that rope to those under us why don't be turn the rope into a ladder and help them up to the same level as us.
The only people that should be shamed are the ones who encourage the shaming of those going through hardship the easy target.
Kev McCormick Why? Because that is a fantasy land. You’re speaking non-sense fluff-words, that you think sound good. Fixing the issue of starving children isn’t a matter of “a little more compassion “(money/taxation, I’m assuming is what you meant). And if you’re not advocating for some socialist/communist utopia, just know “teaching men to fish” and not “giving men fish” is the best, most compassionate option.
@@Americansikkunt clearly your an American! I never said anything about taxation or socialism ect even though I am a proud socialist there is a big difference between socialism and communism. I advise self education not education by the system your then only being taught what benefits the system the most, in America yous are brainwashed from birth that socialism and communism are all the same thing and there all the worst evil in the world. When a government are so adamant to enforce a way of thinking on its citizens then they always have a ulterior motive.
What I was saying wasn't in a sense of what to do to help them it was more in a sense of being a better person the world is full of selfish cunts after all.
How would you feel as a 12 year old kid and your parents lost there jobs and couldn't afford to pay for your school lunch, if you even attempt to say you would still encourage shaming then your clearly bullshiting.
You said teach a man to fish yes I believe in that totally, I don't agree with the giving a man a fish but If the modern world is so good then how come less and less people are now unable to do the most basic of task such as cook themself food, they depend of companies providing that food (giving a man a fish) the world isn't a socialist world but yet we are not teaching people to support themselves it's the total opposite.
Also could you please explain how public shaming is helping someone please explain what help public shaming actually does?
I didn't know you could pay bill with shame
Kev McCormick Kev McCormick Kev McCormick Kev McCormick “How would you feel if you 12, and your parents couldn’t afford lunch”.
I would feel hungry, first of all.
You acknowledge “giving a man a fish” is wrong, yet you simultaneously suggest the world basically needs socialism. You’re contradicting yourself.
Why do you expect “the modern world” to do anything, let alone teach “man basic tasks”? You can’t rely on the government to do that, and never has the government been responsible for that, so why do you advocate for such an unnatural state of affairs?
Also, what is your obsession with “shame”? Shame is a part of life and daily learning. Children need to be shamed, in some cases, to not be violent/mean/break-the-rules. It’s clear that the parents of those children HAVE NO SHAME, so how can they pay using their shame (hehe)? And just like the parents are allowed to live off the hard-work and good-will of others, shame-free as you promote, so too will the child. This results in generational dependence and only causes more suffering. The TRULY compassionate shame those who need shaming. And SHAME ON YOU, for advocating such harmful mentalities.
Thank you Lunch Lady for being a human being. There are ways to help school kids.
I’ve never heard of anything like this .... how cruel !!!!!!
I can’t finish watching, balling my eyes out
This practice punishes the poor in a humiliating way that also puts them beneath other students. Lunches should be free.
Indeed it should be free, as was my school lunch in the UK which was inclusive of the tuition fee, which in itself is becoming more and more unaffordable.
@Beautiful World No, public schools in the UK is free. Lunches are only free for people on low income. Some schools allow packed lunches.
This happened when I was teaching 2nd grade . I absolutely did not allow the school cashier to take away their lunches. Those poor children.
Beautiful World no it’s usually not child abuse it’s usually because the parent can’t afford to have 3 meals a day either way we should focus on feeding the child first and then tackle why they’re not being fed
Did you pay for their food?
Michelle yes I did.
Beautiful World have you considered that not every town has food banks or programs that help out low income family’s. Also on backpack programs there’s usually a only certain number of kids they can give food to. We aren’t taking about shit parents that abuse kids Im talking about low income families that can’t afford food. Family’s that can afford food but fail to feed kids is something cps needs to be involved with but honestly even they do shit jobs of protecting children. And the American system isn’t focused on kids they’re focused on money. Most “free public schools” have student dues at the end of the year and that “free lunch” just gets added to a tab. Also animals aren’t plagued by a money system humans need money to get food so i have no idea why you thought that was a good argument and considering how much of our tax money goes into our military invading other countries I think we’d have no problem helping every child get at least one free meal a day
@Beautiful World I am Mexican, grew up in Mexico and of course went to a mexican school and I never had to pay for my books. Now, I am from central Mexico so maybe you got that idea from another region? Also, I love beans and tortillas but it is not enough to have a balanced meal that any kid needs. We do have some programs in the most impoverished regions to feed kids at school and government stores called CONASUPOs that sell basic foods for the cost of the production. Also, it was clarified that the lady could not feed her daughter that food because of health problems and the people providing the food were being quite rude to her.
Wish I had more info. I would start a GoFundMe account for those children at that school and a food drive. No child should be hungry it's criminal.
This practice should be outlawed, and any school, person carrying out this practice should be arrested and charged !
I agree with they should not shame a child for doing this especially if a child is hungry.so wrong.what a shame on the adults!!

Depriving children of food is considered child negligence.
Give children the necessary meal, inside and outside of school
I would NEVER take food from a baby
EVER
How do you allow a child to starve like that?? Knowing he’s hungry and excited for chicken nuggets.
All School Lunches Should Be FREE - it’s ridiculous that there’s no budget for that.
People in jail get free food .
But kids can’t this is cruel .
Do they notice that might be the only food they have🤦🏽♀️.

@@itzpayday1238 google or is that too much for you
So u want kids to have shit lunch
A teacher once told me that you can tell if a student hadn’t eaten anything ALL weekend. And it’s watching which kid, Monday at lunch time is ravenous with their food.
I would like to know when the people who put the punishment together said to the schools. It brought me to tears
For the poor, school's lunch is the main meal or only meal for the day. ☹️
Do the schools really think that the majority of those parents want to default on paying for their kids lunches? They clearly can't afford to pay. Can you imagine how bad that parent and child feels already? And then for the family to go hungry on top of that.... This triggered me really bad. Even as a child, I remember the stress and understood how devastating it was for us to not qualify for the free lunch. We qualified maybe 1 year out of 12. The rest of the time, we were just shy of the qualifying mark. When I became old enough, I worked during lunch serving lunch so that I could get a comped meal. There are times that I wish my situation was unique. It makes me so sad to be witness to others still suffering from the same.
Democrats don't care about people, but they'll say ANYTHING to get elected.
Sorry you had that happen to you growing up. I hope you are doing ok now. No child should be denied food just because they were "not poor enough".
And yet prisoners get 3 meals a day for free out of our own pockets.
Question: I don't mean to sound offensive if I do I apologize. Does the government pay the teachers well. Because if that's not the case I think that led to schools doing that lunch debt situation. Cuz essential workers don't get money they deserve so more or less blaming schools isn't the thing. I wouldn't know what both sides of the spectrum are going through and also you could say there are those who are financial up to par (rich people) working in the school system as well so I wouldn't take away from anyone's argument about that. I'd just like to say the government is another essential part of the problem as well for that. If the essential workers got what they work for (because being a teacher ain't easy) then maybe those teachers wouldn't recommend that. If I am wrong I will accept that I am wrong on these statements if anyone's brings their opinion to the table.

I live in Canada but my school started a program for students who dont have the opportunity to eat breakfast, so they feed them cereal and yogurt and breakfast bars, and a juice box to drink. This needs to be a thing everywhere. And guess what, it's all done for free
I actually called the school board over the fact that the "honor roll" students got to get in the lunch line first. The way they serve the students who are obviously healthy get to eat first. Meanwhile those who are struggling and need the nutrition wait for their lunch. RIDICULOUS. Needless to say they stopped that practice Immediately. Going to take the Karen position in this one.
Kid parents have to pay for lunch but prisoners get their food free
No! your parents pay prisoners too due taxes.
Kids parents can work on the outside and earn more money than prisoners can
Heartbreaking! I would have just gotten fired because he would have had those nuggets!
Or I would just simply pay for his lunch. So sad.
She really had a choice. I wouldna done it. Idve stood there while he ate and knocked anyone the fuck out whom even LOOKED like they were coming my way, AND I would've smiled in the mugshot.
@@thegayestgoth she did but i commend her for realizing she made the wrong choice and speaking up. Plus some other lunch lady would have just thrown out the food. Her speaking out does a lot of good. There’s also probably policy forbidding staff from purchasing lunches for kids and some people don’t have money to pay for a lunch. I couldn’t work in a school either, I’d just get fired immediately and throw hands at someone trying to abuse a child. I am a very non confrontational person but seeing people harm children breaks me.
They did that to me when i was a kid too , infact alot of kids sat without lunch ........ so sad
This happened to me in middle school. Never mind being made fun of every day for my scoliosis, teachers like my 7th grade Spanish teacher that just let the bullying happen in her classroom when half the class was making fun of me but when my dad lost his job because his boss never payed his taxes and the irs shut down his business leaving my dad unemployed I couldn't afford lunch. So when I got in line with my food I had to hand it all back at the register in front of everyone and was handed a piece of paper saying why I was denied lunch. Just left the lunch room and went to sit outside my next class untill it was time for it to start
I grow up in Japan and everyone looking forward what’s going to be served. School lunches was part of budget as blackboard and teachers pay, even teachers ate with us(elementary class). School lunch should be FREE.
That's the usa for you. Taught at a young age $ is more important than human life
God bless this lady with a loving warm heart.
This was unbelievable to hear, it makes me so sad. What a shame!
It's because all the tax dollars go straight to the top.
Don’t blame kids because their parents can’t or won’t give them money 💰
Physical cash is always a bad idea because they bullies will just take it
@Just some guy That’s a god It's 2020 get the parents to credit an account somehow. Online or in a post office/bank using their cash or by direct debit, whatever. There's at least a dozen ways you can avoid sending kids in with physical cash. OR HERE'S AN IDEA maybe the richest, "greatest" country on earth could find a few pennies to make sure every child gets a hot meal once a day Monday to Friday? I mean they wage wars around the world and they've landed on the moon six times? Yet if little Billy can't afford his dinner they give him one then humiliate him and take it away? America is a joke
(edit) and from years of working in catering I know that once food goes to the customer and comes back, it can't go out to somebody else, it has to go in the bin. So they're literally showing the kid what their parents cannot afford, taking it back from them and throwing it in the trash. Kid goes hungry and the dinner goes in the bin. ABSOLUTE DISGRACE
@Just some guy That’s a godthe schools in my area have the option to pay online

That's bullying taken to a whole new level! School districts should be ashamed!
How about instead of saying “don’t harass the children” we start “lunch should be free”

People who are blaming parents clearly dont know what it's like to be poor
Republicans always say: "It is not my fault that they are poor!"
@JW McCabe I believe free lunch is based off of income alone, it doesn't factor in expenses that have to be paid.
in my opinion you shouldn't have kids if you can't afford to pay for their basic necessities
(i know school lunch should be free, and ofc you're excepted if you were laid off or lost a job)
@@moonrise_078 sometimes you fall into that situation after having kids. Also, Social Services is a blackhole for kids

That’s not what’s going on. The schools have many delinquent parents who don’t pay, even after many requests. Get a nonprofit together to donate lunch for all the kids, rich or poor. That’s the only way out of this without spending billions of tax dollars across the country.

I am 37 now, and I still remember feeling so embarrassed for those fellow classmates.
Let not forget about how they use to call you up front the class to pay your reduce lunch and embarrass you for paying in change. Shameful to treat children like that.
Yes we need to fix this problem
It takes a "special" kind of person to take a meal away from a child. I empathized with the cafeteria worker, you could feel the pain of the situation. Fortunately, when I was kid, I had a job delivering papers for the Moultrie Observer and would collect bottles for deposits. I mean my mom would pay for my card; but she was a single mom and I did what I could. Think about today; what would people say if they saw an 8 year old doing stuff like that; there'd be a video somewhere.
I think with the current state we find our country in; I think we can all agree that if our society had more education from the pre-school age to high school; we would be doing a lot better. How many people grew up with music class, civics, 4-H, not to mention extracurricular activities? Society is judged on how it treats it's children and it's elderly. I think we could do a lot better for both.
perfectly said !!
I cannot believe this is happening … I cannot !!!!
Absolutely wicked and disgusting
What happened to that lunch already served to that little boy? I bet it got thrown away,this is disgraceful!
Yes. They have to throw it away.
That's exactly how it goes! .... makes alot of sense right !???? 😫😠
This reminds me of my 1st day of year 8 at school. During the summer my (single) mum bought me my school uniform, school supplies, books etc but couldn't afford to also get me my PE kit. She told me she would get it for me when she got paid the Friday after I started school. I went into the changing rooms and told my teacher that I didn't have kit and explained why and said I would have it the following week. She properly screamed at me in my face. She said that I was irresponsible and had to take better responsibility for myself. I then repeated that my mum just didn't have the money and she said ''Well you should have told your mum that she had to buy you a kit. You should have made sure she bought you one''. I would never speak to my mum like that. I was only 12 and she made me cry in front of all the other 30 girls in my class. It impacted my self esteem for a LONG time.
Some teachers fancy themselves as screws in a prison. Get off on bullying 4ft tall weak people. 😐
Omg I'm so sorry. I would've told her to STFU if I were one of those 30 girls .. smh 🤦
Totally Unexpectable Concept!
It is unbelievable that the school would do that. I’m shocked!
I never had the problem of lunch debt but I remember paying off my friend's lunch debt so she could get lunch again.
It's pretty shameful that some people taking these things as 'business as usual', where you can't eat if you don't pay. They're just kids. Some of them didn't even understand how the concept works. They just can't take everything away. They should at least provide something minimum for those kids to eat. It's not like we got big percentage of parents who can't pay for their kid's food. There's no harm covering one or two kids. And, I'm pretty sure that food that's being taken ends up either in the trash or staff's table.
The guy sitting behind her rolls his eyes when she starts to talk about the first grader
@Mandy Last "Rolling eyes in sympathy"

Do NOT shame the child. I'm so proud that lunch lady! She absolutely did the right then. 😊❤️
Lunch lady quit after she had to eat one of Michelle Obamas lunches!
I remember being so hungry as child . Much love to all.
That’s just how bullying starts!!
Not only results in humiliation for the child, but it sounds like they're going hungry as well!
When I was a kid my mum got me a lunch order every day and my teacher tried to reprimand her for it cause another kid was jealous, when my mum found out it was a kid who almost never had lunch she started ordering a lunch order for him every day too. We became fast friends and she would make me take extra food for him to take home so she knew he had dinner.
My school will give you lunch anyway and just put more money on the debt for your parents to handle whenever they can. Or a teacher will pay for your lunch for you.
When I was younger I kept forgetting to pay my debt so they took my tray away. My fam wasn’t financially unstable I was just a really forgetful kid. Luckily they were kind enough to still give me a sandwich. It wasn’t great but at the time it didn’t really bother me cuz I was young. My school was smart and they had a little area where you could put the food you didn’t want so that other kids could have it if they were hungry. I think other schools should do that too.
I remember having so much anxiety from this
Children should NEVER be denied food.
The school is about kids not the money the school doesn’t need money they get it enough
lots of schools sadly do need money, but you’re right
But some teachers need to feed their children too. I'd Blame the government overall for not having the essential workers get played enough for the work. Then this wouldn't have been an issue and "school debt" wouldn't have been a thing. Maybe ....

This hit home for me my heart is broken for that first grade boy in her story experience 💔
Why would you take the lunch away just make them owe it at the end of the WEEK THERE IS 100 SOLUTIONS YOU COULD DO BESIDES THAT!!!!
Humiliation tactic. Like when someone loses a game show and the presenter is like "here's what you could have won, oh dear, commiserations pal"
Democrats control the programs, and blacks, hispanics and elitist white people keep the Democrats in power, so the schools will never get better no matter how many trillions are spent... YES, I actually meant TRILLIONS that the Democrats supposedly spent, but think about it, if they had simply GIVEN the money away, no kid in America would even have to ever get a job! So why pretend educate them?? Simple, political control, Politicans are millionaires!!
Poor child i cant even imagine what he does after school or after what happened the lunch lady is so guilty that she quit its rlly sad how this cruel world is getting more cruel and being filled with hate and shame😢
Thank you for taking a stand. We have so much food in this country, we throw so much away, no one should ever be hungry. Obviously there is still hunger. I know what I'm talking about because I have taken the trash out and my stepmother has cooked in the kitchens. This shaming is dying a ragged death today. Enough, I've heard enough. Thank you for calling my attention to a subject I had forgotten about for the same reasons
One time I did not have money to pay for my lunch and I told the lunch lady if I could pay her next day. She looked at me and said of course you can. I would not have eaten that day. My love to ladies like this.
There adults going hungry in us and are homless as goes!!
They are adults🙄 when I was a child, my dad traded in his food stamps for drugs. (to cope with my mothers death) There was nothing I as a child could do to prevent him from taking away our food source. It resulted in me stealing from stores to eat.
Why are you going along with it just give them the food 🥘
If you don't follow orders you're fired. If you quit you can get another job. Get fired and you'll struggle to get re-employed. Hence US cops beat or kill someone, get "placed on administrative leave" and quickly dip and get another job before they get fired. "WHY HASN'T THAT COP BEEN FIRED" "oh he resigned already" 😐
Yes that’s right do the right thing always. She should of recorded it. What a coward to agree with her boss and scar that poor child for life. Then the fat bitch quits, too late the damage was done.
This is terrible. Don't they give lunch vouchers to the low paid workers for the children. This really hit me hard. Time to ask my son in law if this is what happened. It breaks my heart to see this.
Shame to any school that does that to any innocent children. 🤬
