I Threw Away a 6-Year-Old Lunch After She Stole My Kid’s Lunchbox

I hate girls like Audrey

Unbelievable !! Inaction of the school.

I would have done the same thing. Way to go mommy

You were right to defend your daughter and her possessions, but dumping out another child's food steps a bit over the line. Yes, the school could provide "Audrey" a lunch from the cafeteria, but it must be taken into account that some kids have allergies and/or intolerance to some foods. The school was totally inappropriate in their lack of response and respect for you and your child. Why was the question of contacting Audrey's patents not approached? Hmmm...

Parents allowing the child to keep the lunch box and the child feeling that entitled is why there are now organized crimes being committed in retail requiring stores to shut down due to billions of dollars in losses! There are no consequences for anything anymore and it is ridiculous. The mom did the right thing.

So let me get this right. The parent or guardians of this child pack a lunch in a lunchbox that didn't belong to this child? And the teacher and principal didn't see the harm in that? Case dismissed court will reside for the day ..

I would have taken it a step further and called the police to report petty theft while in the principals office starring Aubrey in the eyes.

While she is correct in her actions I still side with the sister, how is being cruel to a 6yr old regardless of the childs actions ever justified by an adult

I agree that she should have taken the lunch box back but why deprive Audrey of her food? She could have tipped it out on to the principal's desk surely? Tipping it into the waste bin was petty.

You know what my wife would have done the same thing.. I would have too but I would like to meet the girls parents to explain that the next time something like this was to happen again or even her daughter bulling my daughter we was going to have problems

If the principal as well as the teacher refused to do anything then you did the right thing because they allowed that child to steal your child's lunchbox as well as bully her continuously. Your next step should be to contact the school board and let them know hey my child has been bullied and the teacher and the set principal has refused to do anything about it. All school's have a no tolerance policy and bullying falls into set category so go full berserk on that one because that little entitled brat need to learn a life lesson before it gets out of hand. Also kudos to you mom for standing up for your daughter!!!!!! I would've done the exact thing and I also would've told her that if she bullied my child again I will call the police and have her arrested since the principal and the teacher refused to do their job and stop you you're a little monster

You were absolutely in the right. I applaud you for standing up for your daughter. This kind of bullying is unacceptable. What would the little tyrant have taken next? This is her parents fault. You are a good parent.

To allow Audrey to keep the lunchbox would enable her to steal again. No consequences, continued behavior...I totally agree with the mother's decision

Well if the mother is sure that was her daughter's bento I'm firmly on
her side. If her daughter assumed Audrey took her bento because it looked similar to her own that's another.story

And then they all stood up and clapped. ..

I wouldn't have thrown her food in the trash, but I would have retrieved my daughter's bento box.

I agree with taking her daughter's lunchbox back, but throw her food in the trash? You're the adult and shouldn't have stooped to that level, because they didn't put her food in something else quickly enough. Not a good example to ser for your daughter.

You should take the principal's car and then use the same argument and see what happens!

I applaud and appreciate because my daughter was bullied since the 2nd grade and no teacher or principal ever did anything about it no matter how many times I ever went to the school. Now my daughter has be homeschooling for the past several years because she suffers from anxiety and depression thanks to all the bullying she has endured over the years.

I hope her daughter is safe. I would transfer her from that horrible school.

Good for you 👍

How Dare the teacher and principal enable this little pissant bully
Audrey. They failed the child being bullied. Bravo for the parent who stood up for her child. There are a lot of
Audreys in the world and many bow down to them. Look at Trump

That's crazy! I would move my child to a different school! What's wrong with the teacher and headteacher? A 6 years old is too young, they should have apologised, moved her food and then called her parents in to explain the situation. Teach the kid that no, she can't not take what's not her simple because she wants it! That's called stealing and she will grow to do that if not disciplined and guilded now.

Should have turned it upside down and dumped the food on the Principals desk!

Which one of you is the child ? And is this the example you want to set ? However with that being said, I am proud that you found a nonviolent way to teach a lesson to a child that apparently their parents weren't able or didn't care to.

I Love Your Decision,,I hope You talk to her Parents inperson,,becuz me as a parent wud definitely want to see who is Raising Audrey.. M2TR=Mom to the Rescue.

This sounds like an advertisement to me. Otherwise, just call it a 50.00 dollar lunch box.

If i am the mother I will let Audrey eat her food first and then tell the teacher and the principal to get back the lunchbox and give it to my daughter after Audrey finish eating and ask the principal to call the attention of her parents and I will personally talk to them. The Principal and the teacher should not tolerate this kind of action. Maybe Audrey or her family had a problem.

I don't think any age kid should take things from others and I agree with this mother who stool up for her daughter, but I do not think it was right for her to throw away Audrey's food. I get she wanted the lunch box back, but she could have just dumped the food on the desk of the principal.

I loved your reaction! It's crazy to think we must make the Thief feel better? Why do we have to be understanding to the Thief? We need to go back to whooping kids! She would have gotten a good one from my mom!

A $50 bento box for a 6 year old? Really?

The mother's actions were justified.

Who, in their right mind, buys a 6 year old a $50 lunch box? In any case, I wouldn't have dumped the food in the trash, I would have dumped it on the principals desk.

I'm on the side of the little girl who had her lunch box stolen and her mom that Audrey kid is going to be a menace for real if her parents keep indulging her like that

You were right mama.

From one mom to another, you were absolutely right. I'm raising my son the way my parents raised me and my siblings. When I was 6 a girl from my class was calling me names adults use and one day I came home crying so my dad who was in the military payed my sister only a few months older than me to deal with it. The next day on the bus she called me an adopted f***ing c**t. She didn't realize my sister was in the seat behind her and as soon as she heard what I was called my sister stood up, grabbed a big chunk of her hair and smashed her head in the window and told her our uncle is a cop and he knows where she lives. She moved to another school district days later. We can't let entitled children become their parents. They need to learn that you don't always get what you want just because you say you want it. GOODONYA MAMA!!!!We must stand up for our babies no matter how old they are!!!!!!!!!

About 20 years ago my daughter was physically assaulted, in class, by a male bully. The teacher did not intervene or even call for help
I had to leave work to take her to the ER, so I was NOT Happy.
Things got better at the hospital, a friend, former classmate, and deputy sheriff walked in. I began singing the blues and he took notes.
The bully's parents were prosecuted when they refused to take responsibility, he was sent to CPS.
The teacher was fired and lost her license.

Clearly this Audrey has some issues, so instead of acting like an ADULT when 6 year olds are involved, let's just bring this kid down to be humiliated in front of you and then just to prove to this kid that stealing is wrong, take HER packed lunch and chuck it in the garbage. Feel better? Audrey is 6. Audrey also has parents, and hopefully a mother who isn't over emotional that should have been contacted before you made a mockery of her kid .

I agreed right up to the point where you dumped her lunch in the bin. You should have removed it and left it on the table or waited for them to find a bag. What will Audrey do next? You've shown her how to bully big time. Not just a little girl, but her mother and the teachers. Just as disrespectful.
