The Wyoming Valley West School District in Pennsylvania sent out hundreds of letters this week telling parents who had lunch debt to pay or their children could go into foster care.

The letter, which was reviewed by CNN, told parents that there have been"multiple letters sent home with your child" and that no payments had been made. "Your child has been sent to school every day without money and without a breakfast and/or lunch," the letter read. It also said failure to provide children with food could result in parents being sent to Dependency Court.

With the ammount schools get to indictrinate kids, they can afford to give out free lunches

Fire the lawyer and they will have the money to pay off the lunch debts.

this is the dumbest

That’s gotta be illegal

😳😳😳

pay up!

So it’s either don’t send their kids to school to get an education or they get placed in foster care because they can’t afford something that they’re paying taxes for as it is? Seems reasonable. **sarcasm**

Ridiculous letter. Ridiculous. That being said... negative seventy five bucks?!? How much does lunch cost there, an arm and a leg

Wouldn’t it be better to help the parents, rather than paying for foster care? It’s much better to keep families together!

No no no the kids shouldn’t suffer, throw a parent in jail!

Frankly crazy idea!

FLOTUS Be Best. Perhaps you might take an interest?

This is absolutely disgusting! This is America ffs

Wow.

Feels acceptable to me...if a family isnt feeding their kids....the school needs to report it for the safety of the kids. At least they gave them a warning. I wouldn't have done that.

WyomingValleyWestSchoolDistrict You're going to SPLIT UP, destroy families........over lunch money?! These overall well-being, the futures of these babies mean that little to this district God what has this nation come to?

Has whoever written that letter been fired yet?

The one thing SenKamalaHarris and realDonaldTrump can agree on

This is not kind of American school we know, it is better to short the doors than asking to pay meals for kids.

Is this indicative of the outcome for the 2020 political race in PA? doyouseewhatisee

This is complete BS. What happened to the America we used to have?

“CNN has reached out to Wyoming Valley West School District, but has not heard back. School division says it's owed more than $22,000”

How did it manage to get to -$75? My school just doesn’t give you lunch if you don’t have lunch money

Love those Liberals and their double standard acts 🤣🤣🤣
