Ever heard of sending a child to bed without supper?

Sending a child to be without supper on occasion does not make them "malnourished."

I would not trust a social services worker's definition of "malnourished". It is a subjective term. It's like a cop saying "the perp was beligerent so I had to subdue him".

Maybe it was the case, and maybe it wasn't.
