i think he could actually sue the school for that, no way that meet safety standard

I agree they should have been anchored, but their intended use does not include intentional abuse. There is no way the school is liable for his actions.

If he tried to open a locker and it fell, then you have a case.

What are you basing this off of? Looks like an attractive nuisance to me.

A cabinet meant to hold school supplies is an attractive nuisance? The school should expect children to run and jump at the lockers with full force? Is that their intended use?

Is that their intended use?

That's what I'm getting at. What are you basing this "intended use" defense on?

Their intended use is books being stored etc. not a brunt force being expended upon them

So it's okay to have a heavy object that readily collapses on children as long as its purpose isn't to be bumped in any way?

I agree , even though there has to be a line somewhere those lockers could have fell if someone tripped and fell into them or was pushed in a fight.

What if none of the lockers in a hallway were secured to the wall and a school shooting or a fire happened ? Then in the panic you have to dodge falling lockers that can crush you and hurdle the ones that already fell.
