How can I make an npc drop something properly?

I have an npc, which drops meat when killed. That works fine, but the meat is supposed to increase a value and then destroy itself, but it does none of those. How can i fix this? Here is my give value script:

local ting = 0 --debouncer

function onTouched(hit)

    if ting == 0 then
    ting = 1 
    check = hit.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

    if check ~= nil then

        local user = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(hit.Parent) 
        local stats = user:findFirstChild("MeatFolder") 

        if stats ~= nil then 
            local cash = stats:findFirstChild("Beef") 
            cash.Value  = cash.Value + 1 
                script.Parent:Remove()
            wait(2)
        end

    end

    ting = 0 
    end

end

script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)
