    These “silly teen things” could have very well ended with themselves or someone else dead.

      You can’t blame kids for trying to get away from camps if they’re abusive.

      For anyone not aware of what goes on in some of these camps, give this a read: https://elan.school/

      Trigger warning.

        Nowhere did I say kids shouldn’t do whatever they can to escape abuse, I wholeheartedly agree with that. I was addressing the fact that the original comment was saying that there should be no consequences regardless if it was an abusive environment.

          I hear you and admit that I did misunderstand your point. Thanks for chiming in and clarifying. For the record, I didn’t downvote you and I’m sorry you’re being misunderstood overall.

      That’s not a good enough excuse to not treat them like the children they are, with compassion and empathy. Scare mongering helps exactly nobody.
