Note the ties to Cincinnati, where in 2018 a young boy called 911 multiple times when he was trapped in a minivan seat that folded in a way he ceased trapped. The operator didn’t believe him, a cop did a cursory search after two calls even though the make and model of the van were given. The boy slowly suffocated to death.

His last words were telling the operator to tell his mom he loved her.

Makes you wonder if their system flagged his call and it wasn’t entirely the result of a completely incompetent 911 operator and cop.
