How are children supposed to learn when they are in fear of being taken from their families just because they don't make enough money?
You are making children scared, and the comments you have made have been out of this world crazy balls dude.

I'm sure the school's really enjoying the hole you dug them and yourself.

My mom did what she could with two kids and rent and couldn't afford to pay for our lunch. Free & reduced lunches weren't even provided and they treated my brother and I poorly. Like what's the use? Our grades and attitudes were worse stemming from this and other issues from being poor.

How low in life does one have to be to strong arm families over lunch debts? Did your follow up response uplift you in any bit? An attempt, classless and cowardly at extortion. How does it feel risking children's security and sanctum, a mere expense for you to balance out the books for a bonus? Your unethical attempt should qualify you to be disbarred.

For an attorney he has a surprisingly limited understanding of family law. A parent owing lunch money is not grounds for removal of a child. It's not even grounds for an investigation. Hence, he has been publicly rebuked by the local child welfare department. Even so he remains unrepentant as to the damage his fear-mongering has caused and actually seems quite pleased with himself.
Either he is ignorant of the law or he deliberately makes false threats hoping the recipients won't know the threats aren't enforceable. Either way his conduct shows he is neither a good attorney nor a man of integrity.

“Wyoming Valley West’s lawyer, Charles Coslett, said he did not consider the letters to be threatening.

“Hopefully, that gets their attention and it certainly did, didn’t it? I mean, if you think about it, you’re here this morning because some parents cried foul because he or she doesn’t want to pay a debt attributed to feeding their kids. How shameful,” Coslett told WYOU-TV.”

This poorly educated deadbeat failed to protect his own marriage and had difficulty maintaining visitation rights of his *own* children. He is in no position to advocate for or criticize other families.

Just resign. The fact that you passed undergrad let alone law school or the bar exam is astounding. Stop projecting you’re own failed marriages onto the children of your community. You should be ashamed

"Where did that $75 go? Is it going to cigarettes? Is it going to alcohol? We don't know. That's right, we don't know that," Coslett added.

This is the type of person who deserves to be poor and kicked on the street

This firm helped a school district extort it's most vulnerable families. FInd a lawyer less willing to bend the law for personal gain.
