Student Dies, Surveillance Ignored Until Too Late

Author: Carlton Purvis, Published on Apr 03, 2014

The body of an autistic student washed up on a river near Queens, NY after the boy escaped his school. Surveillance cameras were used to show how he escaped but security holes allowed him to get out.

In this note, we look at the role camera placement and surveillance retrieval played in the Avonte Oquendo case from the findings of an investigative report.
