lunch lady poisoned food
SAN SABA, Texas - Parents of a Texas high schooler claim a school employee poisoned their son's lunch after an altercation with the child's mother.

Serena and Gary Spivey filed a lawsuit against Mullin Independent School District this week after they claim their son became seriously sick last Friday after eating his school lunch, KXXV reports.

Serena Spivey said the incident was the latest in a series of altercations with the school's lunch lady, Ms. Day, who had repeatedly threatened to poison her son's food.

The ongoing dispute started when the lunch lady allegedly bullied Spivey's son and she confronted her about it just over a week ago at a school volleyball game.

"After I had started the conversation she had punched me and then her daughter from the side punched me and then her sister from behind kicked me while holding a baby," Spivey told the news site. "I don't think it's right for the lady that punched me to still be working up here around kids."

Threats to poison her son's food followed the fight, Spivey said, and on Friday her son came home sick from school.

"My son comes up here and eats and 30 to 45 minutes later, he can't hardly walk, throwing up, diarrhea," Gary Spivey said.
