Nope. You’re wrong. With regard to this disaster...not all weather phenomena and natural disasters, but on this one. You refuse to budge but then again, you’re not one of the parents and have no real incentive to put your hard-headedness aside.

This was a 1 in 100 year flood. How come you are not blaming the camp owners?

If this is the kind of toxic denialism and attitude present in the TX politicians, nothing will change. And it’s this kind of attitude why it likely got this bad in the first place. Have some humility. Please.

Not EVERY death can be prevented, but many could have...IN *THIS* particular instance. In *THIS* flood. Period. And the parents know that and that’s what makes their devastation sting even more. Measures were not in place, financial investments and budgets were not set aside even when the issue of an updated flood alert system was brought up for YEARS, and protocols were completely lacking both at the political level and at the camp level. It was human negligence through and through.

“Cile’s life ended, not because of an unavoidable act of nature, but because of preventable failures on just her fifth day of camp,” Steward said, breaking into tears.
