Jonathan Alfaro, 17, died after falling out of a truck.

The mother of a 17-year-old boy is suing the Antelope Valley Union High School District, siting that the school's negligence resulted in her son's death.

On February 18, 2022, Jonathan Alfaro fell while he was in the truck bed of a truck in the parking lot of William J. "Pete" Knight High School in . According to the family attorney, another student was driving recklessly and lost control after hitting a speed bump. Jonathan was then thrown from the truck and suffered severe injuries to his head, feet and legs. During a press conference Wednesday, the attorney for the family said school officials knew the parking lot was a dangerous place where kids would regularly race, do "burnouts" and "donuts," have sex and do drugs as well.

"This parking lot was a danger zone and school officials should have acted, done more to intervene to protect the kids. They didn't do that and this family has to suffer," said attorney Michael Carrillo. One of the minors who was driving the truck that Jonathan was in was charged with misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter."Our home and heart are very empty without him," said Jonathan's sister. "You send your kids to school, thinking it's a safe place for them. I never would have thought something like this would happen. I do not wish this on any family but I do wish there had been supervision on the school parking lot to prevent this from happening.

Parents blame everyone else for their kids stupid decisions

Why was he in back of that Truck in the first place...

Kids acting stupid now has a mother and sister suffering loss and friend driving the truck suffering lifelong guilt. Kids will be kids and they do stupid things. So very, very sorry for all involved.

He was a lapd cadet? Out breaking the law with his friends? Hmmmm

The school cannot be responsible for any/all injuries that happen on school property.
