Couple of possibilities here – either this is a case of someone abusing the system, or the wheelchair is for someone that is not totally confined to it. They may have gone to the bathroom and the kid decided to sit in it. (A number of people use wheelchairs or ECVs because they are unable to walk any distance, or staying on their feet for more than a few minutes can cause pain.)
