Current Events > Black Girl Forced to Eat Food From Trash by Lunch Monitor

Security footage now has been made public showing a Black student being ordered by a white lunch monitor at a school in Lorain, Ohio, to eat food the girl had thrown in the trash.

After asking for months to see the video of the incident at Palm Elementary School, the parents of the child, whos also suing the school, says the footage confirms everything their daughter told them.

The Lorain City School District released surveillance footage of the act on Wednesday, Jan. 19. The school district blurred the students faces out before its release to the public.

The incident, captured in a 34-minute full-length video released by the district, happened in November 2021.

In the upper left corner of the abridged video, the camera shows a child throwing her finished lunch into the garbage can, telling the principal she did not like the waffles.

A white adult woman wearing a T-shirt and blue jeans pulled the food out of the trash can, wiped off the package of food and told the female student to eat what had been thrown into the garbage.

The video shows the 9-year-old fourth grader refusing to do what the adult aid asks, but eventually acquiesce. At one point the aid sits next to the student to ensure she eats the food.

Jared Klebanow, one of the attorneys representing the interest of the girl and her family, stated that the video validates the students recollection of the events. He also said the family has asked for months to see the video, but did not see it until the public release.

Upon seeing the video, the child reportedly was retraumatized, reliving the feelings of embarrassment and humiliation that she felt at that moment at the school last fall.

The attorney spoke of actions in the video. What we see is a student finish with her lunch again, a student finish with her lunch and she goes to throw the lunch away like hundreds and thousands of students across the country do every day. We see in the video, this monitor, the named defendant, go ahead and grab the waffle out of the garbage, he continued. And she appears to instruct the student to go get a paper towel, go back to her seat.

He added, She places the waffle at the table and then for a matter of minutes is talking with her, instructing her, as we know from the victims standpoint, that she needs to eat this waffle that was in the garbage and the monitor goes as far as to sit right next to her, as is alleged in the complaint, and intimidate her into doing so, he said.

The lawyer alleges the video confirms the testimony of the student, and said, unfortunately, in our world and society today, had that video not been there, it might have just been a childs word against a teacher, an administrator, which is a tough spot to be in.

Cleveland 19 reported that the district discovered during its investigation that the girl was pressured to eat the food from the trash receptacle; once home, she told her parents. One of her parents came to the school and filed an official complaint. The principal received the complaint, but reportedly did not follow the appropriate protocol.

Since the districts investigation, both the principal and the cafeteria monitor have been fired. Still, the girls family believes that the termination of the two adults is a quick fix and that they should have their day in court for the pain and suffering theyve expressed that theyre experiencing.

LaTosha Williams, the girls mom, said that her child had become sick after eating the food and that since she missed time from work while staying home to nurse her daughter, she lost her job.

It literally flipped my whole family upside down, she said in December. She has changed at home. She doesnt act the same. She doesnt even want to go to school.

The family filed a lawsuit that seeks admission of wrongdoing, a collaborative effort to prevent such incidents in the future and an undetermined amount of money.

District superintendent Jeff Graham addressed the issue after the investigation, saying, Any infringement upon the dignity and respect of our students will not be tolerated. Our students deserve staff members who are able to make good decisions in all situations. And any staff member who is unable to deliver on that promise is unwelcome in our schools.

The school district has offered no further statement about the incident or the lawsuit.

Christ

what the fuck?

power tripping chuds

For fuck sakes, America. Could you not be a piece of shit for one day?

Absolutely ducking abhorrent

It's not enough to fire the ones responsible. They need to be sued for poisoning that girl.

I can't even grasp why someone would consider doing this, were they just being power trippy and cruel for the fun of it? Scum

What
The
Fuck

The video suggests the topic title is understating it. It looks like the principal was also part of forcing the girl to eat food from the trash.

Pretty awful and its good that they were fired.

They're gonna get PAID from whatever lawsuit they filed

Racists are so fucking dumb. Imagine losing your job and ruining your professional career to embarrass a 9 year old.

I wouldn't be surprised if the culprits responsible got doxxed.

The ToU prevents me from saying what I want to say.

So I'll just leave it at fuck that lunch monitor and fuck anyone who defended their actions.

what in the fucking fuck.

Damn why'd it have to happen so close to me. This state needs to get it's shit together.

Should never be allowed to work around children ever again. Probably should never be given authority over other people either.

The story is awful and anybody involved should be fired, though I don't know why the headline has to specify people's races when it has nothing to do with the story

Well, its not like the notion that the staff were being explicitly racist when they forced a little black girl to eat out of the trash is out of the question.

Its not like we have them on video showing them forcing any white kids to eat out of the trash.

Because it basically describes what the victim looks like? Race is still an adjective.

LMFAO

How did this person think that was a reasonable thing to do?

Apparently, someone may have found out the culprit's identity: https://twitter.com/noirdosser/status/1472706281802665986

good

Jesus some people are just real pieces of shit

Toss both the monitor and principle in prison so they're forced to eat shitty prison food.

Fired. And school district pays for her entire academic career.

That had to fuck her up - an adult couldn't live that down - let alone a kid in-front of other kids.

Good question. Id even settle for their unreasonable explanation.

Shit person. What do you even need to mention the skin color here, though?

It's pretty common to make sure kids eat their food (at least a few bites) before being allowed to leave the lunchroom in elementary. Otherwise lots of kids will just throw their whole lunch out (even if it's a parent packed one)

But this is beyond gross and pointless

It may or may not be a case of racism but more information never hurts

This is what that FILTHY demon,& her husband Patrick look like! YOU DO NOT GET TO HIDE WHEN YOU HURT BLACK CHILDREN! Patrick has 2 businesses. Ohio family,you know what to do!

The hell? By all means, throw the bitch under a bus if you want, but don't go assuming the dude she married is just as bad and deserves his life messed with too.

Yeah those people are awful too, and again, lol at saying it's just a physical description. So you'd ever see an article that says "Blonde haired girl forced to eat food from trash by lunch monitor?"

By all means the person should be fired but let's not make everything a racial matter with no indication it has anything to do with race. It only stokes further division. That tweet is wrong anyway because they shouldn't be targeting the person's whole family (???) but if it's going to say anything it should be about hurting CHILDREN, not hurting BLACK CHILDREN.

Fuck I hate people. Including some dumb fucks itt.

Pieces of shit, but hardly racist.

Not everything needs to be made out to be racist just because some scumbags have different skin colors.

The internet will find you.

That's one thing these types don't understand.

One does have the impression no one would care so much if a white lunch monitor forced a white kid to eat food from the trash.

I'm mostly proud of CE because I can't see anyone trying to defend this, yet. Although the race questioning posts seem tone deaf. And yeah, what does the husband have to do with anything. More importantly... the fuck is a lunch monitor? Is that their only role? Is it voluntary or paid?

It isn't tone deaf to acknowledge that they're pieces of shit, and outraged, but to question why race is being brought into a situation that isn't even slightly about it.

JACKBUTTMOMMY posted...

You know that how?

If you read the article, the only points where race are mentioned are not by the parents or the teen or anyone but the article's author.

Did you read the article?

I believe a lunch monitor is someone that watches after the kids while they're eating. Basically make sure no one's acting up too much or choking on something.

What the fuck!!?!!

Not sure I could keep from getting an assault charge if that was my child.

Cancel this guy! Like board of directors shit

Yes. It would not be the first time an article was poorly written or otherwise missed all the details. As for the case not slightly being about it, you don't know that for sure (granted, neither do I). Though logical reasoning skills make it unlikely for it not to be the case.

I have went through multiple articles about it. All have the same quotes, all have the same video, the lawyer has said nothing of race that I can find.

You are literally working on the assumption that just because their skin color is different, it has to be racism. Your idea of logical reasoning is based solely on that, and supported by a sensational, click bait article that uses said information that is entirely irrelevant just to make things seem racist.
