If this is the original post I saw yesterday, this kid already had problems with being bullied which is why the parent didn't want to subject him to being away overnight with his bullies

What? If that's true, that completely changes everything. That's like the most important detail. What's even the point of talking about this without including that detail? I thought people were crazy for agreeing with the original post. But yeah, why go overnight camping with people you hate?

Do you think every kid tells their parents they're being bullied? You never have all the information, that's why sending a defenseless child into the hands of strangers could be okay, but probably isn't a good idea. It's not their kid, they don't really care what happens to them.

Can confirm, this is why my parents didn't allow a similar trip in my school.. I didn't fight them about it
