You're quite wrong about everyone being responsible. If the mother can't take responsibility for feeding her own children, then maybe Social Services should be looking into it.

..a restaurant and restaurant staff don’t have a duty of care over a child...a school and school staff do...they have a duty of care, which is why they gave the children bread and butter...but I refuse to believe they didn’t throw food out...perfectly fine food that those two boys could have had some of...absolutely awful and a policy that should be thrown out of the window...

This is all conjecture. All we have is the mother's story, after she went to the press with it. I'm sure every school is caring, why would they be working in a school if they weren't? I'm sure they weren't at Dotheboys Hall... they got something to eat, and presumably their mother fed them when they got home.

...no actually you’re wrong, Livia...not every school is caring...schools are very much money making businesses now so they vary a lot but they do all have a duty of care ...which is not the same as ‘being caring’...and tbh ‘conjecture’ is not really relevant to this as that school will have had some food left over unless they’re a unique school like no other in the country...

We've heard nothing from the school. So anything we're saying about the school is all conjecture.
