I can understand that the post was probably made in good faith without any intent to accuse. Yet that is what it did.
In my opinion the suggestion of child endangerment without knowing the facts is what is harsh.

Seriously, BI? Let's see, in the majority of cases, what property would get emergency responders first - mainland or island property? I think that's all Buoy #67 was eluding to. I'm sure all the summer camps have trained first responders on staff, so comparing those with private residences is apples to oranges. Child endangerment.... Sounds like something that the Mass DCF would dream up.
