~~That's the headline? The actual death doesn't matter...~~

~~They use kids as a whole for marketing.~~

I didn't read the article.

The article isn't reporting on the death which was already covered soon after it happened. The article is reporting the Department of Health ordered the kids removed from the camp. It's a follow-up and supplement to the whole story of the child's death. There are plenty of insensitive headlines out there but this isn't one in the way you're calling out. It accurately describes the focus and content of the article.

I stand corrected!

They use kids as a whole for marketing.

To what end?
"A kid died and was potentially molested at our camp and now the remaining kids are being removed for their safety, send your kids to us!" ??
I know they say no publicity is bad publicity, but seriously, in what world do you twist this shit in to "marketing"??

I already said I was corrected. I didn't read the article.
