## Resource

Following a catastrophic 2025 flash flood that killed 27 people at Camp Mystic in Texas, the facility’s owners filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy just before the disaster's first anniversary. This legal move has sparked outrage among grieving families, who view the filing as a strategic "sham" designed to evade wrongful death lawsuits and shield family assets. Official state investigations concluded the deaths were entirely preventable, citing a lack of emergency plans and a failure to evacuate despite clear weather warnings. While the camp’s director died during rescue attempts, the reports highlight systemic negligence and a history of ignoring the risks of operating in a known floodplain. The current legal battle underscores a broader demand for stricter safety regulations at youth camps and corporate accountability in the wake of tragedy. Families continue to fight for justice, insisting that financial reorganization cannot be allowed to obscure the truth behind their children's deaths.
