Lunch Lady Called The Cops on 8th Grader Who Paid for Chicken Nuggets with a $2 Bill

[Busybody]

When 13-year-old eighth grader Danesiah Neal attempted to pay for her lunch at Christa McAuliffe Middle School in Houston, Texas, the lunch lady called the cops on her.

Why?

Because she dared to use a $2 bill.


Via ABC News 13:

“I went to the lunch line and they said my $2 bill was fake,” Danesiah told Ted Oberg Investigates. “They gave it to the police. Then they sent me to the police office. A police officer said I could be in big trouble.”

Not just big trouble. Third-degree felony trouble.


And that’s just one of eight counterfeiting charges investigated against high- and middle-school students at Fort Bend ISD since the 2013-2014 school year.

Even ABC News is incredulous at how ridiculous the hardcore investigation into this “crime” got:

Then the Fort Bend ISD police investigated the $2 bill with the vigor of an episode of Dragnet, even though at that school 82-percent of kids are poor enough to get free or reduced price lunch.

The alleged theft of $2 worth of chicken tenders led a campus officer — average salary $45,000 a year — to the convenience store that gave grandma the $2 bill. Next stop — and these are just the facts — the cop went to a bank to examine the bill.

Finally, the mystery was solved: The $2 bill wasn’t a fake at all. It was real.


They’re so eager to arrest kids for anything in our “schools”. Just such a pathetic state of affairs in this country. While their little “mistake” is no big deal to them, and obviously the cop didn’t apologize for treating a middle schooler like a felon, just imagine how the utter stupidity of this event will impact this poor little girl for the rest of her life.

That’ll teach her for legitimately trying to purchase her school lunch with cash!

It makes sense to me that they 'investigated' the kid too, if they suspected it to be a counterfeit bill.
They must have wanted to trace it's origin, nothing to do with criminalizing the kid.

Outside of horse race tracks $2 bills are rare and stupid people who have never seen one will claim it's a fake.

If I were that child's parents I would sue the ISD for the time my child was out of class plus $1,000,000 in damages, emotional and physical, that the child suffered.

And just think how embarrassed the dumb cop is now. The bank had to just take one good look at the bill, then look up at the cop and say "What's the problem?" you could probably hear the whisper of "stupid" after the question.

No matter who you are, $2 bills are not worth counterfeiting...there's no profit in doing it.

How dumb has our country become? Since the Department of Indoctrination...er...Education was established?

Who would ever bother counterfeiting two dollar bills? The effort alone would be more than the value and then who would want to try passing bills that people always look twice at anyway? Hard to believe there can be such a large contingent of truly stupid people who were involved in this whole effort.

I use $2 bills as tips in bars and for such things as golf course attendants. They notice them as something different and it always makes for great service ongoing from then. My local bank orders them for me in groups of 100 at a time.

Oddly enough, BB was arrested for counterfeiting as well. He was cutting zeros off the $10 bills.

Unless, of course, your bar tab was 50 bucks.

I thought we weren't supposed to post an entire article and we certainly aren't allowed to post an entire article without a link. I'll post the link for you.

We're safe for now.

The new Lit Sheriff has arrived.

If you buy shit at the gift shop at Monticello, pay for that shit with plastic, unless you want assloads of $2 bills in change.


That's their boy on it, you know.

I remember the process of gradual inflation (back home then over here) :

It was like the cost of a loaf of bread went from 50 cents to one dollar, then to two, and now four.
As this happened, they started putting into circulation 20$ bills, then 50, then 100.

And yet a cooked chicken costs 14 dollars and 85 cents, and my supermarket bill comes up as x dollars and 35 cents.

While I understand why retailers are marketing products in this way (5.95, 2,.85 and so on)
- I don't understand why the government is still keeping the 5, 10 or 20 cents coins in circulation.
