We are saying the ones who plan to send their kids back this summer are certifiable. [/quote]

This comment referred families asking for sympathy - so the families from last summer: 
“And then those families ask for sympathy over foolhardy risk taking decisions.”

[/quote]

No, the comment was referring to those choosing to return. Read the two preceding comments. No one is faulting families for the 2025 tragedy. They are faulting the lax Kerr Co safety precautions for an area known to flood and the minimal safety plans and means of communication by Camp Mystic's leaders. [/quote]

Where are those families asking for sympathy from you?[/quote]

The posters arguing in favor of the camp opening. [/quote]

So -  not the families of returning campers? People saying don't judge have you flipping out?[/quote]

Who is flipping out? Most of us (other than you) are in agreement that the camp should never reopen and those wanting to return are nuts.[/quote]

That's fine but getting hysterical about it calling people names and saying (erroneously) that someone is demanding your sympathy seems like an overreaction.[/quote]

You exaggerate and misinterpret, then run with your feelings. No one said 'demanding sympathy," and no one is hysterical. [/quote]

Again, nobody asked for your sympathy. More kids in your own zip code will die in backyard pools or from not wearing a bike helmet this summer than some random girls in a freak 100 yr flood. Yet not much concern for the very real threat closer to home.[/quote]

Again, and we’ve told you this several times: This is an anonymous DC-based discussion forum. We discuss what we like here, particularly on the Off-Topic forum. You don’t get to decide what we discuss, just because you don’t like it. If we want to discuss our thoughts about the parents trying to send their kids back to Camp Mystic or the camp leaders, we will. And we will do it any manner we please. [/quote]

And we are free to tell you that you’re a judgmental busybody who should leave these poor families alone FFS.

[/quote]

We aren't bothering them. It's an internet forum. No one is forcing you to read our posts. It was and is a a national story with ongoing updates that we will continue to discuss. [/quote]

And we will continue to call out your grotesque comments trashing the families. 
[/quote]

Anyone that would trust the Eastlands with the care of their child, knowing what they know now, is severely lacking in critical thinking skills. [/quote]

You don’t know anything about them.

Stop acting like you know everything about everything; you don’t. MYOFB.

We've read their inadequate safety plans. We saw their inability to answer basic safety questions in court. We know they had internal family conflicts and lawsuits over money. We know that in recent documents they still don't want to list camp structures as being in a floodplain. We know they were asleep when warnings went out instead of staying up and monitoring their campers' safety. We know they had no sirens or other way to communicate with their counselors. You can't tell us what to think. [/quote]
