Sounds like a law suite to me. Seats are supposed to stay in place to keep passengers safe incase of an accident. There's no way it should fold like that from the weight of a 16 year old leaning on it without engaging some kind of lever.
Law suit will also be against the 911 operator that did not dispatch the police the first time after the boy called as well as the second time he called! The police department might also be on the hook. Very sad!

Police were dispatched on the first call...they were unable to locate him withbtje limited information he was able to provide during The first call.

Teen made a *second* telephone call giving more accurate information about location. But for reasons thus far known only to the dispatcher/911 operator she did not pass that information onto her superiors/LE in the field.
I think I am the only person who feels for the second dispatcher. Don't get me wrong, I was and remain very angry at her poor judgement. But she has to live with the reality that she pretty much killed that poor kid.
I mean that audio as he said he didn't have much time left and tell my mom I love her sounded like an over dramatic teen but it was reality.

Even if she isn't found criminally or civilly liable, she still has that potentially guilty conscious.
Wasn't there a cop who did find the car but basically didn't see anything wrong because he didn't really look closely and decided it was a hoax? He is the one I would blame, if I was assigning blame.

No blame here except on the kid - tragic but really completely avoidable. Reminds me of watching a teenager try to fill a gas tank and squirting gas all over then dropping the hose.
One of the articles I read about this (can't find it now) mentioned something about Honda issuing a recall or service bulletin about the seats in this car, so they may have known it was a problem. Has anyone else seen that?
Problem is that the dispatcher couldn't be heard by the kid and "I'm in the parking lot at Seven Hills" well, it has many parking lots. Plus he couldn't give an exact location and only the parents who had their phones connected to him could have located him quicker.
Sad situation, but a lawsuit? Not likely.
