Grandfather of Anya Howard said that she was “lunch shamed.”
A six-year-old girl was told to return a tray of food at her school cafeteria because there was not enough money in her account.
She then went to the back of the line to wait for an alternative lunch of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. She said that she was"sad" because she was laughed at. Her grandfather described the"cafeteria walk of shame" as humiliating, WFLA reported. "They waited until there was a dime left, denied her the opportunity to eat the lunch.. .and then she had to go to the end of the line to wait for a PB&J," Dwight told News 8.
However, the family denies they received a warning that the account was low until after the young girl was refused her lunch.The school has not responded to requests for comment, the news network reported. In March, school cafeteria worker Bonnie Kimball was fired by Fresh Picks, a vendor that supplies food to the Mascoma Valley regional high school in Canaan, New Hampshire, after she gave a student lunch who could not pay for it.
