[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is faulting the families of the girls who died last summer. 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. [b]Yet not much concern for the very real threat closer to home.[/quote][/b]

Once again, you are fabricating nonsense. I have concerns for any child who endures suffering, child abuse, death, etc. The flood was a rare exception, but the lack of preparedness reflects incompetence. Why do you think schools have warning sirens,  fire drills, regular inspections by the fire dept, ways to communicate between central office personnel and teachers/staff, tornado drills, etc. It's called preparedness for possible disasters. [/quote]

Uh huh. And you have asked your child's camp to see a copy of their safety procedures, yes? Have you asked your kids' school for the same? Do you know what your local hospital's active shooter protocol is? Do you ask to see the health certificate for every place you dine at? Want me to keep going?[/quote]

My post referred to schools, where these precautions for children's safety are in place. [/quote]
