Isn’t there still at least one BODY they haven’t recovered?

Yes.

There are three; two of which the Texas Rangers are still searching for, one who had the family come out and suspend the search.

This pretty much sums it up. There are options, right?

The point of one of the articles was that one of the girls who survived wanted to go back to the camp. So yes, there are other options, but that's not really the point. I don't think that mom's thought process had anything to do with bragging rights or sororities, but about helping her kid heal.

Seems more like reopening a wound to me. I could never feel safe driving away. Never.

Cool but some people believe in getting back in the saddle again. This has nothing to do with you or yours.

I personally think it’s disgusting that it happened, the negligence, and that people still want to offload their kids there.
However, it’s akin to refusing to vaccinate your kids - it’s a shame, but it’s out of my control and not my business.

The state could simply decide not to renew the camp’s license. It expires at the end of March, and without it the camp can’t open. There is also a pending lawsuit that the old license was improperly approved because the camp did not meet state requirements even before.

Some people can’t help themselves.

Agree, since the owners have a financial interest in reopening and the camp families are biased. An objective outsider needs to make the safe choice.

So it should be left to the licensing board not people thousands of miles away who have no connection, interest, or ability to review emergency plans or safety improvements. There is a process so let it play out, emotions shouldn't rule the day.
