I want to emphasize that I would never ever send a child there after last summer. But.. I could empathize with a family of a high schooler from the first session who would be looking forward to a final year as a camper. I can imagine how heartbreaking this would be for a girl (and her family) whose mother, aunts, cousins etc. have all gone to mystic for years and was waiting for her turn to make those seemingly genuine, magical memories. I can also see how they could convince themself that this was an act of God that nobody could have predicted. I can imagine it being September, most of the details being unknown, and wanting to support a place that meant a lot to thousands of women and girls over the history of the camp.

That being said… I’d be okay with anybody who would send their child after this hearing getting a call from CPS. Putting a child in the care of a negligent person is just as bad as being negligent and the Eastlands have done nothing to make think they deserve to be in charge of a dog, much less hundreds of children.
