JMO, I grew up NEVER getting lunch in high school. NEVER. I was hungry many times at home. Did it affect anyone but me? NO. Didn't hurt MOM and DAD. Hurt my self esteem. I was followed by county health worker who gave me iron shots twice a week as well as an iron tonic.
How do you make parents do the right thing? You can't. I was so skinny and tiny I was bullied and made fun of....
MissJ, ((hugs)). Thank you for sharing a sad and hurtful part of your life. That was a horrible time.
I agree that some parents can't be made to do the right thing. Even by court orders.
