Rejected petition Give parents of children that have free school meals extra money

I want the government to give parents of children that have free school meals extra money instead of sending the children back to school for a meal to be at risk especially children that have health conditions etc please Boris don't keep putting our children at risk to bring back to their family.

More details

I want the government to listen to the other countries and stop putting our children at risk you want the children to go back to school on school days and get their free hot school meal this is further putting our children at risk you have closed schools so why would we send our children back to school to get a meal and how can we if we are self isolating because of your guidance that still leaves our children without a school meal and the school states if you want to it's a joke so thanks boris
