The Eastlands are a despicable, greed-driven family, hiding behind their faith and white camp uniforms. Family financial accusations led to past lawsuits among family members and now they have the gall to think they have enough support from TX legislators that they can submit a shoddy reopening plan that fails to address even basic safety precautions, like an evacuation plan. They are horrible people and those pushing to reopen are too.

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.”

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.

Where are those families asking for sympathy from you?

The posters arguing in favor of the camp opening.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

Judgmental busybody? Looking at you, babe!

Very few people have pools and stop minimizing what happened. It was a known concern.

+1. We can discuss lots of things at once and regularly discuss drownings, hot car deaths, etc. Which you would know if you weren’t just here to defend Camp Mystic.

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.

+1000. Mind boggling to me that 800+ families value their personal social standing so much that they would take this psychological and physical risk with their own daughter this summer.
