An eastern Pennsylvania school district is coming under fire for sending letters to parents demanding they pay their school-lunch debt or risk having their children placed in foster care., the parents are informed that their child has a balance of $75.25 and if they do not pay it, the parents could be reported to Luzerne County dependency court.
"Please remit payment as soon as possible to avoid being reported to the proper authorities," it states. Luzerne County Manager David Pedri condemned the school district for using the foster care system as a scare tactic. The school district said it will send another, softer letter to parents about unpaid lunch bills, WBRE reported.
"Sounds like a great idea let's uproot a child's life because your mommy and daddy didn't pay your lunch, what a bunch of over educated idiots," he posted.But another Facebook user said in a post that parents are responsible for caring for their children and the burden should not"fall on others that are paying for the meals."
