If I were Mr. Kagan, I would've said, "Then come pick up your kid."
As someone who went to summer camp for about ten years as a kid, I have to say this is a mystifying situation. The entire purpose of summer camp, as various people have mentioned, is for both parents and kids to learn to function alone.
While I understand that parents are concerned about their kids, this really takes the entire situation to another level. I remember first wondering about it when I heard about how much camps had started to have to restrict activities due to parents becoming increasingly likely to sue, and how silly I thought that was.
As with many things, I find myself very glad that I went to camp before this was a reality, and sincerely hope there are camps out there that don't indulge these idiotic tendencies when I send my kids to camp.
