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.

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.

And we will continue to call out your grotesque comments trashing the families.

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

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.

What is this we crap? Why are you reading their safety plans?

Anyone who reads Texas news. Maybe you should.

I should read safety plans about a camp my kids don’t go to? What a strange hobby.

PP probably doesn't even have kids. Just a weirdo obsessed with other people's kids.

Yeah, that's it. That's also why its all over the news nationally, including the NY Times. Just childless weirdos are reading about Camp Mystic and Kerr County.

Reading in passing is one thing, obsessing over their safety plans when you don't even have kids is another.

LOL you still don't get it. No one is obsessing over the camp's safety plans. We are all aghast that people like you and the Eastlands support reopening the camp after their criminally negligent behavior. Clearly you don't even think anyone needs to worry about the non-existent safety plans. If the Eastlands had evacuation and safety plans to begin with, we wouldn't be here today because these girls would still be alive, wouldn't they?

This camp does not deserve to open under the same ownership, period. The owners are just trying to make money to help with their lawsuits. They're criminals who preferred to ignore safety regulations so they could keep costs down to have profit margin. They should never be trusted with children ever again, and they deserve prison time.

If the camp changes ownership and makes the necessary safety changes, then it can re-open no problem.

You know they don’t know you from a hole in the wall or care about what you think, right?

You seem to care a lot about what other people think and are trying to control the opinions and comments of posters you don't know. FWIW, I have a lot of family member and friends in Texas and don't care what you think about our opinions of what occurred at Camp Mystic.

“Control the opinions” ha it seems like you can’t handle a conversation. People in Texas aren’t sweating this nearly as much as you.

You are the one who is trying to stop the conversation.

In what way? I think someone is not being honest about their overly emotional investment in this. Are they a lawyer? Family member? It comes across as dishonest and misleading.

I notice you are not commenting on, or refuting any of the news stories about the appalling deficiencies in the camp's current application for licensure. Nor have you commented on the fact that had the low lying cabins simply been permitted to evacuate, they would all be alive today.

Why does anyone need to? The appropriate department gets paid to do that and they are doing their job. Freaking out on here makes no difference.

We are just discussing. You are trying to curb the discussion, for reasons you have not disclosed.

Nope. They can make their own decisions and we can discuss our opinions on those decisions on this DISCUSSION BOARD. You seem extremely confused about the purpose of this site.

It doesn't exist for you to berate families who survived this kind of trauma.

It takes a real a-hole to trash these families.

WTF is wrong with you?

Returning a child to the care of the Eastlands is a horrible decision. If that offends you, IDGAF.

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

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.

You don’t know anything about the families, dipshit.

Stop trashing them. They can make whatever decisions they want. You don’t know anything about their situation.

Nope. They can make their own decisions and we can discuss our opinions on those decisions on this DISCUSSION BOARD. You seem extremely confused about the purpose of this site.
