A community featuring uplifting and wholesome news stories that overlook deeply ingrained systemic problems.
The rules:
1. Your post must be an unironic presentation of a wholesome story, but one that overlooks systemic failures that made the story possible in the first place. In other words, we want posts that highlight "Yay, the problem is solved!", but ignore "Wait, why was this a problem in the first place?" at the same time.
2. Re-posts will be removed at mod discretion.
3. Sitewide rules apply. Basically, (a) don't be a dick; (b) use the NSFW tag; (c) no spam; (d) don't attack people; and (e) don't abuse the report button.

Doesn't this kids parents pay for it? How else does he get "allowance"?
I know another way parents can contribute to the so-called lunch debt...
I really doubt his parents specifically are the problem. They seem more than willing to give him enough money to do so, usually if my kids give me a financial goal I can afford I try and make it easier for them to get that amount of money.
Certainly not blaming the parents, glad it happened. Shame it had to happen. Confusing it happened in this way...
