Starving eight-year-old forced to steal tomato sauce sachets to make soup because he was so hungry!

An eight-year-old boy was so hungry he stole tomato sauce sachets from school to make soup, according to charity workers battling child poverty in the UK.

The young pupil was referred to a local food bank in Glasgow after a teacher spotted him taking the packets from the canteen at lunchtime.

He later sent a letter to Crookston Community Group (CCG) saying: “Thank you for giving my mum food so we can eat.”
