🧠 My Take
Let me say this loud and clear: Mocking the deaths of children is sick. I’ve seen people online — mostly anonymous accounts — saying “Texas deserves this.” Whether you agree with Texas politics or not, no child deserves to drown in her sleep.
Let’s have a conversation about the delays, the failures, and what could’ve been done. But if your first instinct is to mock dead kids and their grieving families? You’ve lost the plot. Period.
