He didn’t have to come to the house, pick her up, and take her off. It wouldn’t have taken much time to recognize that something was wrong.
Does she have a driver’s license (I looked it up and people with Down syndrome can be licensed to drive)? Would the dealership be in legal trouble if the refused to sell?
Way too many details left out...
Did daughter have a license? Does she have insurance? How did she pay for it?
This sounds like Mom is looking for a third party to blame.
The mother is 100% at fault.
If she has guardianship over a person who is too incompetent to make decisions, then that person should not be left at home alone.
In this case, the mother should be charged with neglect or abandonment.
It doesn’t matter who is to “blame” here. The daughter is not competent to contract and so no valid contract was formed. Period. The dealer can come collect his car and return any money that was paid.
Some Downs kids are smart enough to hold jobs and own things. Does she have a license?
This story is not nearly as clear cut and simple as the headline suggests.

Surprised the dealership was in Abilene ... was thinking Austin or Houston. Salesman was probably trying to unload one of those hail damaged Hondas on an unsuspecting client.
