The parents of children killed at Camp Mystic during the July 4 floods in the Texas Hill Country testified Wednesday at a state legislative hearing.
Brandt Dillon was among those who spoke. His 8-year-old daughter Lucy was among the 27 children killed at the camp.
"When Lucy left for camp, it was the very first time she had ever slept away from us. We entrusted her care to the camp operators and never for a moment did we believe she would be returned to us in a casket."
Dillion, along with several other parents, testified in support of Senate Bill 1, which would improve safety at campgrounds along the Guadalupe River.
