A Texas board has suspended the nursing license of Camp Mystic’s co-director in a scathing order that accused her of not helping children evacuate during last year’s catastrophic floods that killed 25 girls and two teenage counselors.

It's one of the state’s first actions against a member of the family that owns and operates the all-girls Christian camp since the July 4 flood. Last month, Camp Mystic canceled plans to reopen this summer in the face of outrage from victims' parents.

Mary Liz Eastland, a registered nurse, served as the camp’s medical officer. She has previously acknowledged in court that she never tried to reach children and staff in the low-lying area of the camp as the predawn flooding along the Guadalupe River worsened. Her father-in-law, Camp Mystic owner Richard Eastland, also died in the flood.

These effers were planning to reopen their camp.

1. I don't know how much forbearance the familes should show to Mary Eastland.

To the people who continued to build out a children's camp in an area prone to severe flash floods -- none at all.

2. Yeah, I hear about this often, as I live in texas.

From the owners of the camp who got permission to build cabins in a very low lying area by the river, to the politicians of the county who refused money to upgrade to a more sophisticated warning system because the money was coming from Biden administration, there is plenty of blame for that tragic disaster to go around. How many of those folks will actually be held accountable...
