School denies autistic kindergartner $2 lunch over outstanding bill

John Robert Caravella was sent home with a note that said, "John Robert was not able to get lunch today he ate his muffins. There is an issue with an outstanding bill."

Caravella said she quickly added money to her son's account online, but couldn't understand the school's actions, saying, "Where is the human decency factor?" [Source]
