From what I have read on here I feel like not every state follows similar guidelines and some school related posts on here are worrisome for sure. Our school is supportive of many challenges and would never allow a child to go hungry support hate and will address bullying etc. I hope the parents get help in reporting the source.

@icebergahead I totally agree. If that child is hungry, how are they going to learn? It should be an obligation, it's cruel to let them go without.

@icebergahead, I should also add that my son is in a behavioral contained class. My son is autistic but very high functioning. While all the kids in his class has some form of a diagnosis, majority do have behavioral issues. unfortunately being in a contained class you will experience certain behaviors. I'm not sure if this was a behavioral thing, a hungry issue etc. My sister was in close distance to my son's school so she picked him up for me and I got him chick fila so he was content. I did ask him if he thinks this could be an issue where the student is going without food and maybe needs a little extra snacks or resources and he said no, he said the friend told him he didn't have breakfast and was hungry. He said he forgave him. I generally don't have issues with his school, he has flourished in his school this year to the point he is going into general classes for 7th grade. I will be brining the issue up to the teacher so if there's a next time for any student it's handled more appropriately.
