“Non c’è il piatto per te, tuo padre non ha pagato 12 euro”: bambina di 9 anni esclusa dalla mensa
A father was shocked to learn that his 9-year-old daughter was denied lunch at school due to an alleged debt of 12 euros. The school, following a directive from the municipality, informed him that the child could not access the meal service because of this outstanding amount from the previous school year, which the father claims he was unaware of. He rushed to the school to pick up his daughter, who was left without lunch while her classmates ate. The father, through his lawyer, has formally challenged the municipality, arguing that denying a meal to a child violates their dignity and educational rights. The lawyer emphasized that while the municipality has the right to pursue debt recovery, it is illegal to penalize a child in this manner. He demanded the immediate restoration of the lunch service for the girl, threatening legal action if not resolved within 24 hours.
