11 Yr Old Killed While Subway Surfing, Mother Is Filing A Lawsuit

11 year old Cayden was dropped off at school the morning he died at 7:45 am. Cayden was last seen having breakfast at school but never made it to class.

According to police, 11 year old Cayden Thompson was riding on top of a G train when he fell onto the tracks at the Fourth Avenue-Ninth Street station in Brooklyn, NY just after 10:00 a.m.

According to his Cayden’s mother the school never notified her or any family members that Cayden wasn’t in school.

“He was left in their care, where is the responsibility? Growing up teachers used to be second parents to us. I trusted him with my kids, but they didn’t keep him safe,”

At least five people were killed subway surfing in 2023, while reports of the incident reached well into the hundreds, Cayden is the youngest and fourth person to die from subway surfing in the city this year.

Cayden’s mother is filling a lawsuit against the MTA and the Board of Education.
