Her Lunch Money? Seriously?

A school employee in Ventura, California has been jailed for stealing lunch money from a student with disabilities. The girl's parents gave her $5.00 for lunch in her lunchbox each day, along with food. When she continued to come home hungry, it was discovered that Kristin Rene Santoyo, 37, had been pilfering the child's lunch money in order to feed a meth habit.

"School worked jailed for stealing from disabled student" is one of those headlines you have to look at several times just to believe it's actually a real-life news story. Headlines like this belong in The Onion, not reality. I hope that the woman so enslaved by her addiction that she stooped to stealing from a person with whose care she was entrusted gets the treatment she needs in prison, and realizes how shameful her actions were.
