To contact the school over this?

Not sure if I’m being a bit much!

We were eating dinner earlier and one of my DSC mentioned that they were worried about their friend at school.

Apparently this friend takes a packed lunch and every day this week, has just binned their entire lunch. The most they’ve eaten is one single bite of a sandwich before wrapping it back up and throwing it away. My DSC tells me that when it was pointed out to the child that they should eat their lunch (by another child), the kid reacted angrily, swore at them and walked off.

I checked and it seems the boy doesn’t eat at snack time either, so is apparently having no food all day.

I was really taken aback by my DSC comment about worrying; it’s not like them at all. Usually their only worries relate to Fortnite.

Should I just keep out of it? Email the school and tell them what I was told?

I don’t want to be that parent, equally if it were my child I’d want to know.

Let school know.

I'm a teacher. If I saw that happening in my school I absolutely would be regarding it as a potential issue. Indeed, dd told me something her friend had told her and I told school on the grounds that had I heard that about one of my pupils I'd have been reporting to the Safeguarding Lead ASAP.

I did this too and my mate bought me chips. I hated what my mum made me
