A furious mother has shared an image of the 'tiny' school meal portions her son receives that she claims 'wouldn't fill a five-year-old'. Leanne Pengelly says her 10-year-old son is left starving when he comes home every day from Millbrook Primary School in Newport every day.
The frustrated 43-year-old managed to get a snap of the free school meals handed out to the kids which showed a small piece of cabbage, potatoes and carrots accompanied with some gravy, Wales Online reports. She discovered the minuscule portion sizes after picking her son up from school early one day and taking his school lunch with him.
Leanne, who has raised concerns with the school's teachers regarding the situation, says the meal would 'barely fill a five-year-old'. She explained: “My son wasn’t well so I went to pick him up from school and they gave him his lunch to eat and I was shocked at how little there was.
