The operators of Camp Mystic in Texas, where a tragic flooding incident led to the deaths of 25 girls and two counselors on July 4, are facing a lawsuit. Filed by the families of the victims, the suit claims that the camp did not take adequate precautions as life-threatening floodwaters approached. Families allege that the camp prioritized profit over safety, as campers were instructed to stay in their cabins despite being located in a flood-prone area. Moreover, they assert the camp failed to implement mandatory evacuation plans. The lawsuit seeks over $1 million in damages and comes as plans to reopen the century-old camp in the upcoming summer have reignited anger among the victims’ families. Ryan DeWitt, the father of a camper who perished in the flood, stated, 'We trust that through this process, light will be shed on what happened, and our hope is that justice will pave the way for prevention and much-needed safety reform.'
