It's not just about current safety. It's about not giving one cent more to the family who was so negligent and greedy for money that they killed a bunch of innocent children.

You want your money to go to murderers?

It will go to pay out lawsuits and camp counselors.

I would never let my child be a camp counselor for murderers.

I went to Camp Mystic and am appalled that they’re reopening. I am also appalled at some of the comments on this thread.

This timeline is horrifying. The girls could have been saved

I agree with you, OP. Absolutely horrifying.

The operators of this camp clearly showed horrible judgment on multiple occasions, so, no, I would not trust my children with them.

That's nice of you, but most of us will judge parents who knowingly put their kids in known potential danger, especially so their kids can have a camp experience with their friends.

I understand. But they will not be in danger. They are not using the Guadalupe location.

So you have learned nothing. God, you're criminally stupid.

Speaking of stupid…..

What part of “they aren’t using the property that was flooded last year” did you not understand?

So if they aren’t using the spot that got flooded, how exactly haven’t they learned anything?

What part of "they clearly don't care about emergency procedures or prioritize safety" don't you understand?

Because the owners are money-grubbing murderers who do not understand, and will never understand, safety in any form. Once a person shows you who they are, believe them. You think they care about fire safety, tornado safety, food safety?

Yes, you are criminally stupid.

I try to teach my kids empathy and compassion. If they wanted to go back, I would remind them that there are 27 girls who don’t get to go back whose families lives are shattered and destroyed for life. Do you really want to dance on the graves of their kids? My kids feelings and what they want do not get to come before 27 sets of parents who lost their children in the most evil ways.

What exactly are you getting at here? How does it make a difference if the campers and their families are "MAGA types" or not. Please, spell it out for me.

I wish I could unread the Steward family’s lawsuit. The description of Cile’s last moments (and knowing it came from eyewitness accounts of other little girls who watched their friends die) is utterly devastating.

The spot that flooded last year? It didn’t flood the year before that. It may never flood again. But it did flood, and for being a camp next to a river these people had zero plan for safely supervising the children in their care.

I’d want to know how these people have improved their emergency procedures and training and what they are doing to monitor that river (and any other danger for that matter) going forward.

The monitoring was never a problem. They had warnings. They ignored them.
