Lunch lady loses her meal ticket

Did Iowa take a dose of silly pills this year? Yesterday I had a post about a would-be romance novelist fired for lusting and typing on the job.
Like the author, today's fired person also had unemployment benefits denied in Iowa. Unlike the author, the fired lunch lady deserves more derision than a snarky blog post can provide. Seems Nancy Harvey had a problem with feeding hungry, broke kids...
State records indicate Harvey was reprimanded twice and suspended once for allegedly grabbing, yelling at and embarrassing students who didn't have enough money to pay for their meals.One second grader told Nutso Nancy his mom was flat broke and they didn't have anything to eat at home.
In at least two instances, the students were reduced to tears. Harvey allegedly told one supervisor that the children "didn't deserve to eat because they didn't have money."
I'd like to think the forces of karma have something in store for Nutso Nancy, and other people who abuse little kids. Preferably payback would involve a speeding bus, a meaty collision, and someone spending a few days twitching in a snowbank before anyone realized she was there.
Too much? Not really, since the principal told Nutso Nancy he'd pay for meals himself when the situation came up. The real shame is there doesn't seem to be any way to hit her with a criminal charge of some kind.
