India is one of the least prosperous countries in the world. When the government decided to give a school in Chhapra, India, free lunch, the meal poisoned many of the students and killed 23 of them. The headmistress of the school and her husband fled after the incident happened. The headmistress’s husband provided the ingredients for the food and it was said to be tainted with a pesticide.

Sad time for everyone

I honestly think this is one of the saddest things that can happen in the world. Most people in India don’t have anything and when their children get free lunch in school it’s not safe to eat. These poor people are starving anyways and when they receive a meal that is free but tainted with a pesticide, (in my opinion) I would not trust the school to feed my children ever again.

The staff in India that makes the food for the children in schools do not have adequate training on how to prepare the food and the food itself is not safe to eat because it is not taken care of properly.

Just as bad

I think that this tragic event that happened is just as bad as the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School last December. Young, innocent children that had done absolutely nothing wrong in the world lost their lives and did nothing to deserve that horrible fate. In both instances these children were basically babies who didn’t know of the terrible things that can happen in the world.

It’s even worse that the headmistress and her husband fled. Instead of owning up to the fact that they had killed those children they decided to be cowardly and hide so now they will probably get in even more trouble.

People that act that way just make me angry and it might be because I used to be that way too. There was a point in my life that I would lie about some things that I didn’t want to own up to but when someone found out I would be in more trouble than I was if had just told the truth. I’ve become a much better person now and I don’t lie like that anymore. I am as honest as can be and if the headmistress and her husband would take responsibility for their actions then they wouldn’t be so cowardly. They will just get punished even worse for fleeing because they didn’t take responsibility for their actions.
