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.
