You know, still in shock.

I mean, you probably have, with your background, but seeing someone tremor from trauma, it's just like some mom's just, like, tremoring with the trauma and the shock and grief of their daughters not being with them anymore.

The survivors of that flash flood in the whole country traumatized.

Left in Blackhawks.

They're like, we sent our daughter to camp and they left in pla... We didn't send them to a war zone.

And, um, so much trauma.

And that was the only camp that lost life.

The others had evacuation plans or got lucky.

So, all these lawsuits have dropped now, uh, claiming negligence, gross negligence, wrongful death, and, um...

And now, I wish I weren't alone in this.

I mean, I felt alone in this fight.

Not just the Kanakuk fight, but realizing this goes well beyond Kanakuk.

Like, camps in general are so unregulated and unsafe, and they don't prioritize... They prioritize low insurance premiums, profits...

You know, getting their property taxes down.

It's just like all the things you would think of to run a normal business, but this is kids and their lives.

So you need to go a step further in protecting people's most precious, their children, right?

And in the case of Mystic... none of that happened.

These 27 babies died.

The Heaven's 27.

And those parents showed up and testified and passed the Heavens 27 Camp Safety Act and the Youth Camper Act.
