How do you define "abandoned"?!
You shouldn't believe everything you read or hear in the media!
How does the State of Texas not have any culpability? Everyone is sh*tting on the EAP of Mystic. I agree it was lacking, but how many times had DSHS audited their counselor manuals? Easier to just blame the Eastlands.
That's the Texas Board of Nursing's word for Mary Elizabeth Eastland's actions:
"
CHARGE III.On or about July 4, 2025, while serving as a Registered Nurse, Supervising Nurse, Camp Nurse, Director, and Chief Health Officer with Camp Mystic, Hunt, Texas, Respondent
abandoned the campers and staff when the camp site began to flood at approximately 0200 by evacuating herself and her children to higher ground without providing any assistance or direction to all of the other campers and staff. "
She also agreed to that word describing her actions in court:
Question from attorney: "It seemed like you only helped the children whose names were Eastland. Is that correct?" .
She responded to the attorney, telling her that those were the only ones that she could get to.
"These were first year campers. You had 34 more years of experience than Cile. She needed your help, and you abandoned her, didn't you?" the attorney asked.
"Yes," Mary said.
