8-Year-Old Daughter’s Tragic Death at Summer Camp Forces Broken-Hearted Parents to Save Others

A couple is sharing their heartbreak after losing their daughter in the tragic incident involving a flash flood at Camp Mystic.

What should have been a day of fun and magical experiences during the summertime quickly turned into the most bitter ordeal for one family. And now, they're sharing their experience so others don't have to go through something as devastating as this.

Clarke and Katie Baker have dedicated themselves to reforming summer camp safety rules. The historic Texas deluge claimed nearly 139 lives, and that included 25 young campers and two teen counselors at the facility.

Determined to make sure other kids return home in a safe and timely manner, these Texas parents have managed to champion the Heaven's 27 Camp Safety Act in the most successful manner.

The legislation established so many strict regulations to keep kids protected. Alabama also passed a similar law, and the parents are trying for it to reach other states, too, for the safety of minors. Some of the features worth a glance include zoning restrictions and constant monitoring.
