Plush got disconnected about six or seven minutes after he placed his first call. Officers who were dispatched when that call ended tried calling him back, but the call went to voicemail.
When they did not get a response, the officers marked their assignment complete, the WCPO timeline said.

What the hell??!!
A quick google-earth search of of the school parking lot indicates that when full, it has room maximum about 100 cars.
Kid calls twice. Is on line with 911 for total of 9 minutes, Says location where he’s located. Describes his car color, make and model.
All I can say is - this is government at its finest.
Teenager calls and says he’s dying, cops call back and get voice mail, say “cool, we’re done here” while kid subsequently dies. That’s crazy. Lawyers will be drooling to get on that case.
Friends of ours were on a commercial ( tourist) fishing boat out in the Gulf off of Texas. The boat caught fire and rapidly sunk. They phoned the Coast Guard for help but none came. Thankfully, everyone on board escaped and floated around in the water with their life jackets. Everyone was rescued by private craft in the area.
When the owner of the boat quizzed the Coast Guard officials about the lack of response, the officials said that they called back but got no answer so they ignored the call for help.
Gee!

If you go back and read the article you will find that you are incorrect.
The dispatcher marked it complete as an officer was dispatched. He went looking and actually found a van but saw no one in it.
I don’t understand how that could have happened. So awful and sad.
