A nine-year old girl was forced to eat waffles she threw in the trash. By a cafeteria worker and the frigging principal of her school. WHO DOES THIS???

The little girl asked for something else to eat because she apparently does not like waffles.

I love waffles, but not everyone does. How hard would it be to get the kid a sandwich instead? Or, if you want to teach her a lesson about not wasting food — explain to her that she could exchange her waffle for something else instead of throwing them out, so that someone who likes waffles can have them. If you want to be a real hard nose, tell her too bad, the consequences for throwing out food mean you can fill up on broccoli.

What is UNACCEPTABLE is getting the waffles out of the trash and making a child eat them.

Now a federal lawsuit’s been filed in Ohio, where this incident occurred.

Latasha Williams, the girl’s mother, says her child was humiliated. Other kids watched and laughed at her. Now the little girl does not want to go to school. Who can blame her?

These adults were supposed to be protecting and caring for children, not abusing them.
