“I probably don’t have much time left, so tell my mom that I love her if I die.” That was the heartbreaking plea from a teen who was trapped and dying in his minivan. Kyle Plush used Siri to call 9-1-1 not once, but twice, pleading for dispatchers to send help after he became trapped in the trunk well. Police were unable to find him and thought the call might be a prank. The 16-year-old died of suffocation.

Damn!
These operators should be charged.
Sad why couldn’t they found him why not just a damn kid
I bet if he was older, the operator wouldn’t think he was pranking them
I remember this case. This made me cry, poor kid.
We need more incompassionate ignorant 911 responders … Ever wonder how many have died because of 911 ??? 😢😢😢
LOL you cant buy sense.
Man poor kid
So what if they thought it was a prank do your damn jobs. a lot of a police officers time is spent doing nothing. It wouldn’t hurt to give some effort like u actually love your job
Even if he was prank calling officers still need to show up 🤦
Freddie: i love you guys thanks you me save hero
😢
Where is the parents or a teacher to help the child before this happened to others people children
Every call should take it seriously period.
What kind of minivan has a trunk you could suffocate in? He must have been caught on something and choked out by his clothing is the only thing I can imagine.
Why did they not activate the gps location tracker immediately to start pinging his location. A senseless death. May he rest in peace, prayers to the family.
He didn't even die. He's still able to communicate. That means he's fine.
Wdym the answer is because they thought it was a prank Just another horrible case where the people supposed to protect try to cover up there faults
“Tell my Mom I Love her if I die.” Hits so hard 😭 Its sad because Its so stupid that they didn’t make it in time. Because Kids that die at a young age, they aren’t able to live longer to experience the outside world..💔
Six hours they had his name location description enough time to find either parent at home working or out with friend's . Why couldn't he contact his mum or dad himself . That situation stinks .
It is a no brainer how this tragedy happened. Some cops should not be cops.
What infuriates me alot is the fact that Kyle was telling the operator where he is, what the details of the minivan was like and SOMEHOW the cops never found him regardless of him using his number plate.
How manly can you be during something like this?!
What the Police and 911 were doing? Prank or not the must have found him!
I wonder if he called his dad?
Similar case happened in Romania. Dispatchers berated and gas lite a minor asking for help until the kid die. When news got out there was a public back lash against the cops
None of this makes sense. How the heck do you get "crushed to death" inside a mini van. And how the heck would that sound like a prank call? A prank call would be something far more "humorous" sounding than that.
oh god
Wow ..😐 so much for "protect and serve*
Just say you failed him
May God rest his young
soul
when you hire spongebobs to be…
This is so sad. I don’t understand why they didn’t save him. Why didn’t he call his parents?
