Families of girls killed in Texas floods sue Camp Mystic owners.
Four months after the devastating flooding at Camp Mystic in the Texas Hill Country, families of the five girls who lost their lives are taking legal action against the camp's owners. The lawsuit alleges negligence and gross negligence on the part of the owners, who allegedly failed to provide adequate warning or emergency planning for the residents.
According to reports, the girls were swept away by a swollen creek that overflowed its banks during heavy rainfall in September. The incident has left many in the community reeling, with some calling for increased safety measures at summer camps and recreational facilities.
The lawsuit seeks compensation for damages and emotional distress suffered by the families of the deceased girls. It also demands changes to the camp's emergency protocols and procedures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Camp Mystic owners have maintained that they took all necessary precautions to prepare for the flooding, but the incident has raised questions about the adequacy of safety measures at summer camps and recreational facilities.

like this camp flood in texas... sounds like owners were already under a lot of scrutiny for their 'safety protocols' before the incident, so maybe they did have some good ideas going on? but four months later and families still suing them over emotional distress? seems kinda short notice to me 
. plus, what's with all these lawsuits always trying to change regulations or safety procedures at places like this... just seems like a bandaid solution to me 
... like this awesome Tex-Mex place in Austin last year! Have you guys tried it? Anyway, back to Camp Mystic... I don't know what's more concerning, the fact that they allegedly didn't have a plan in place for flooding or that those poor girls got swept away. It's just heartbreaking 
. As for the lawsuit, I think it's about time someone held them accountable. Can we talk about food trucks instead? They're like the unsung heroes of the culinary world 
it's really heartbreaking what happened at Camp Mystic. I can understand why the families are suing, it seems like a lot of responsibility should be on the camp owners to ensure everyone's safety. But at the same time, I feel for them too - they're already going through so much grief and pain... maybe we can find some middle ground here? Like, they could potentially be liable if they didn't take reasonable precautions, but also, camps are supposed to adapt to unexpected situations, right? Maybe a compromise on what constitutes "adequate" safety measures would be a good start. And let's not forget, the rain was just incredibly unpredictable this year... it's not like anyone could've predicted that creek would swell up so quickly! 
... I mean, can't we learn from our mistakes? Like, I know Camp Mystic did everything they thought was right back then, but that's no excuse for not having better emergency planning in place 
. And five kids lost their lives because of it... it's just devastating 
. It's time for us to step up our safety measures, period 
.
I think it's wild that these families are taking action now, four months after the tragedy. Like, what's a year or two of grieving supposed to do? The owners should've taken responsibility for their camp's safety measures from day one. It's not just about compensation, though - it's about holding people accountable for putting lives at risk. 
And have you seen the footage of that swollen creek? It was like a scene from a disaster movie! How could they not see this coming?! 
We need to make sure these types of incidents don't happen again, and that includes stricter regulations on summer camps and recreational facilities. Safety should always be the top priority, especially when it comes to kids 
. Four months have passed, and I'm still wondering what could've been done differently to prevent such a tragedy. It's like, where did it all go wrong? The owners say they were prepared, but is that really enough when you're dealing with nature's fury? 
It's just... it's just too much to think about. I'm sure the families are still grieving, and now they're going through this stressful and emotional ordeal of filing a lawsuit. 
I hope the court takes their case seriously and makes some real changes.
.
. And we need stricter regulations on safety measures at summer camps and recreational facilities to ensure everyone can have a safe and fun experience 
.
what kind of negligence can you get? It's not like they were living there, it's a camp. You know, I was thinking, if they had better emergency planning in place, maybe some of those girls could've been saved 
. But at the end of the day, it's all about holding people accountable for their actions. Those families are going through hell and now they're fighting for justice 
. It's not just about the money, though that's part of it; it's about making sure something like this never happens again 
.

You'd think with all the technology we got nowadays, you can at least give people a heads up when things are about to get hairy.
Changes need to be made, like now! 
. The fact that families are suing them makes me think they're at least taking responsibility for their part in the tragedy, which is more than I can say for some big corporations 
.
it's not just about throwing money at the families to shut them up, but actually making changes to prevent something like this from happening again in the future 
. I mean, who wouldn't want to make sure their kids are safe when they're at camp? 
But at the same time, how could they not warn people about the flood risk if it was clearly forecasted? 
️ This whole thing is just so messed up...
