[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would never let her go back to that camp - what a failure on their part to monitor or attempt to rectify the situation. That they never even contacted you! That poor girl. They are not a safe place for girls, your daughter included.

I agree your daughter seems afraid of the consequences rather than sorry for hurting the girl. Perhaps that is normal at 14? I wouldn't punish her for her lack of empathy and remorse. I would talk to her a lot more and be way more present in her life.  Your time left to guide her is short -less than 2 years.[/quote]

I wouldn’t say the camp failed at anything. There isn’t enough info.  OP doesn’t know what happened or what role her daughter played.  The camp did take measures to stop whatever was going on. We know she got her cabin moved.  We don’t know what they said to others involved or their parents.  But they were also in touch with the victim’s parents about it- or whatever other issues she was experiencing.  A week into camp is too soon for a pickup to be prompted by letters home.  This had to come from communication initiated by the camp to her parents. Since she was picked up after only a week, that isn’t much time at all for the camp to try to “fix” whatever was going on (assuming the bullying didn’t start and was reported the minute she arrived at camp), but it does sound like they tried and were open and honest with her parents about what was going on, in a reasonable timely manner.  OP is not going to find out why the girl was picked up from camp, who did what, and what camp did.  The camp may tell her what specifically her daughter was accused of/did, but that is all.
