The mother of Trevyan Rowe, the autistic teen who drowned in the Genesee River last March, has filed a lawsuit against the City of Rochester, and the Rochester City School District.

Rowe's body was retrieved from the Genesee River on March 12, 2018 — five days after he originally went missing during a school day. Rowe, a 14-year-old autistic student, was last seen leaving School No. 12, of the Rochester City School District. His family said they did not know he was missing until he did not get off the bus with his sister later in the day.

In the suit, Rowe's mother, Carrie Houston, claims school district leaders’ reckless actions led to her son’s death. It also knocks the district’s lack of special education and mental health services, supervision of students, and highlights an attempt by several teachers to cover-up "flawed attendance policies."

Houston alleges that first responders' failure to search the water sooner, despite multiple 911 calls for a person on the bridge, ultimately failed Trevyan and his family.

Local officials named in the lawsuit include Rochester Mayor Lovely Warren, former RCSD superintendent Barbara Deane-Williams, and RCSD School Board President Van White.

In March, The New York State Attorney General's office released a report regarding their investigation into the death of Trevyan. While the AG's report said "The investigation found that systemic failures in school policies and procedures existed" at School No. 12, the report ultimately concluded "Trevyan's death does not appear to have been the result of any single event or single failure in school policy."

RCSD officials said back then that protocol is for calls to be made when a child is not in school. Trevyan's family said they were never notified. As a result of the investigation, the AG's report is urging the RCSD to implement certain recommendations that could prevent future tragedies like this.

In February, the Monroe County District Attorney's Office announced the case was officially closed and that no criminal charges would be lobbied.

Rowe's disappearance kick-started thousands of volunteers to canvas the area to aid in the search efforts, and his subsequent death brought a reeling community together in the wake of tragedy.

Trevyan Rowe's uncle Ken Handy said of search, "I didn't see somebody looking for a black child. I saw somebody looking for a child that was lost. I saw white women looking for a child as if it were their child. It touched me. It strengthened me." #ROC pic.twitter.com/QNDn1L97wd — Spectrum News ROC (@SPECNewsROC) March 12, 2018

Last summer, the Autism Council’s Service Center was dedicated in memory of Rowe, along with the entire Rochester autism community. The center offers training, certifications and resources for autism families and professionals. It will also serve as a place to let families with autistic children know what to do and where to go.
