How does that help the child that needs support?
I appreciate your attempt to improve the culture in this community, but I feel like you have made up in your head what Lemmy is supposed to be. Please don’t get exhausted with random people being rude.
This was organized crime by a corrupt school official. This isn’t petty crime. So I don’t think this situation is one of those that “does nothing useful” to have severe consequences. Additionally, your dismissal of the circumstances around the crime seems odd. This person stole from the most vulnerable where restitution isn’t possible because we don’t have time machines and they stole an amount that restitution is beyond the means of the thief without further commiting theft or fraud.
Jail is the best option here. I think the sentencing could be lighter and the parole and probation system should be fixed, but there’s not much better to be done in a scenario like this.
Also I think making kids starve constitues violence.
Probably independently owned and operated, non-franchised restaurants. Fast food franchisees generally aren’t around the day to day operations and are contractually obligated to buy supplies from the franchise. But it’s not impossible that one is dumb enough or desperate enough to do something like that.
I know she’s not going to be eating at home for a while
The worst consequence is that you get stuck with 4 days of food and water and no one comes through that can help for a week. Cell phones don’t work everywhere, maybe a satcom subscription and equipment could help, but a rescue is going to be way more expensive than whatever fines they are issuing.

Are the the moderator views not what you’re asking for here?
That doesn’t sound right, but I don’t know enough about zoology to dispute it.
Bonless wings can be anything. The term has no legal meaning.
Did you know that they sell pork wings in Florida and other Southern US states?
Do not look into “chicken processing”. You will be disappointed more than you can imagine.
Ohio is a problem and I’m done pretending it’s not.
Thank you for that summary because there’s no way I’m reading the details on a Friday night and that headline is shit and the other comments here assume that the article was read. I can get some rest now.
The people who are in charge of collecting donations and deciding how those funds are used absolutely have power that can be used to exert control.
The caníbals are in the kitchen and now have control which can be used to decide on the procurement of food.
It shouldn’t. I’m not sure what I can do to change it.
I’ve got bad news for you about cars being sold over the last 15 years.
For $24 a month I can keep you safe from the worst ones.
For those that are questioning what the point of the lengthy article is because the title doesn’t help much, here’s the explanation:
Imagine it this way: let’s say every time you stepped outside your front door, you decided you want to be safe, so you dressed head-to-toe in full combat gear, complete with bulky full-body kevlar, a helmet, safety glasses, steel-toed boots, and gloves. I can stop the scenario here: even for those of us living in the roughest places, that’s a silly visual because it’s overkill. To be a little detailed, it also goes back to that word I used: “you want to be safe.” Safe from what? The sun? Then just put on some sunscreen and a hat. The cold? Put on a jacket. Danger? Keep your eyes up, headphones out (or low), and be aware of your surroundings.
Yet, many of us do the equivalent of overdressing in our digital lives because, as I said, we don’t always see it right away. Most people can instantly tell when they might be putting on too many items of clothing. Even something as simple as a jacket – when you feel the weight and restriction of movement – makes you pause enough to go “how cold is it really outside?” With the digital world, it can be much harder to notice the added weight, at least for a while. This makes it easier to overdress and not notice for a long time – or to dress up in full armor except for going barefoot (like I said, inconsistent action). In the past, I’ve compared some of the easier cybersecurity strategies with locking your front door: it’s technically inconvenient but we accept that inconvenience because the dramatic increase in security and safety outweighs it. This is comparable to things like using a password manager and 2FA or making the upfront switching cost to another service.
…
Once [people] understand the concept, they quickly start to realize where they can safely dial back to something less stressful without risking themselves and where they should instead focus more attention to improve. You don’t need the entire suit of body armor, you just need to put on a jacket.
Assuming he doesn’t get sent back to prison.
