I think the flying school snd the instructor who cleared him will have a bit of explaining to do and rightfully so. Unfortunately for them but our thoughts should be with the family who put their trust in that school.
Steady on there chief. Considering no one knows what happened yet, that’s some pretty heavy comments to be making, especially towards the instructor/s involved.
I’m sure there’s plenty of 16 year olds out there who would disagree with you regarding your concerns about them flying a C172 🙄
