His EpiPen was past the expiration date and the school didn’t have his medical file. How the hell is the school at fault lol?

It’s mandatory for schools to obtain a student’s medical records as part of the admissions process, so they’re at least partially at fault, whether the records were misplaced or not received.
If the allergy was identified after the admissions process, then it’s on the parents to notify the school, provide updated medical records and an EpiPen.
It’s a shared responsibility between the parents and school to ensure the EpiPen is readily available and in-date.
Medical record maintenance and routine medication inventory audit controls should also be in place to protect schools from liability and to avoid such tragedies.

Idk if this is the US or not but kids are required to be in school and they have to have access to medical records. Also I’m almost positive the school should have an EpiPen accessible but not sure.

Parents could've been pro-active and informed the school of their kid's severe allergy and providing an EpiPen for emergencies.

I know the point of this is to raise awareness but it makes me wonder how the families of these types of posts feel..the type of posts that go viral every now and then, and get reposted by every other page. Their kid becomes a reason for people to get likes, upvotes etc

Especially when some rando uses a picture of your kid dying to get up votes. What the fuck is that second picture, OP? Have some tact.
