Boy found unresponsive in car had 'climbed into back and hidden', police say
so, he was in the car from say 9am until mid afternoon?
didnt the school notice he wasnt in class?
did they not make a call to a parent as to his non attendence? at which point i would have thought alarm bells would have rung?
they do still do 'roll call' first thing dont they?
johnny? is johnny here? does anyone know where johnny is? no? ok. jimmy, run down to the front office and give them this note (note saying johnny smith not here, please call parents)

Is it possible that once the car was centrally locked by his mother, it then, couldnt be opened from the inside?

I was also wondering if the car has a door locking system which effectively locked him in and trapped him inside?
I don't know much about these modern cars with on-board computers and keyless entry devices.

If that's the case then it is negligence on the part of the car manufacturer. It's a safety issue after all. What's the point of making it impossible to exit a vehicle? It's downright dangerous.

You can open the doors from the inside. The alarm would go off, that's all.
Maybe he thought he would get into trouble?

More trouble than ending up in the emergency room of the local hospital, you mean?

Tell me about it.
I have a 10 yo grandson and I still can't figure out his thinking, most times.
I think the whorls in his brain go in a different direction to everyone else's
