[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So many parents dont investigate. They just assume someone is taking care of that stuff, even more so with rich people. [/quote]

I’ll admit I’m guilty of this.  DD spent a good chunk of her summers from ages 10-18 at a camp that I never saw much beyond the pickup/dropoff point, which looked lovely and very safe.  Last year, she finally took us on a tour of the entire camp and I was shocked at how isolated and remote some of the areas were.  I do think that they had excellent emergency plans in place, but I could also see how things could get dangerous really fast.  [/quote]

I mean, it was a camp for rich/upper middle class girls that has been around for generations. A lot of us go off of word of mouth recs from other parents rather than analyzing camp maps and flood risk data.

But yes the camp deserves to be sued. The wife of the camp owner who died had to be helicoptered out one year because of flood waters.  They certainly knew how dangerous the situation was.[/quote]

But maybe you shouldn’t just use word of mouth when it comes to the safety of your kids. That’s the lesson. [/quote]
I mean these are people who are outsourcing all their kids’ basic needs to other people from the time they’re born. They’re in the habit of choosing the highly-rated help and trusting the reputation[/quote]
