Who is his mother to complain --alleging neglect?

Exactly & if those officers had jumped in to try to save him without medical cert/knowledge or permission - then the mother could legally [nasty how it is] lodge a breech duty of care because the officers tho tried failed or poss contributed injury. The officers haven't as such failed their duty of care because it was not their place to do so, other than call the ambulance & report it, unless in their contract otherwise to act in other ways.
For example, senario - say IF in my contract at work as TA i cannot put a plaster or give any medication nor 1st aid - without training cert but can port child to 1st officers positioned in school or in an emergency contact 999, if i do breech that i could be sacked but also sued for negligence if said child should react to plaster or any medical intervention i could of done, so u really have to be very careful indeed, because u get involved u automatically assume duty of care.
AS u see quite an interesting discussion in law terms as we did in law about duty of care.
