ATLANTA — A camp owner and director are facing criminal charges in the death of a boy at summer camp.
Benjamin Hosch drowned in a small pond after wandering away from a summer camp outing at Cochran Mill Park last summer.
Benjamin’s parents are still very much grieving the death of their son and wanted the camp owner and director held accountable.
“He deserves justice. He was a kind boy and we feel robbed,” Benjamin's mother Ayisat Idris-Hosch said.
On Tuesday, a grand jury agreed.
After nearly five hours of deliberations, a grand jury indicted camp director Terri Clark on one count of involuntary manslaughter and one count of reckless conduct.
Camp owner Maribeth Wansley was indicted on one count of operating an early childhood learning center without a license.
The state said the camp was not licensed to operate and ordered it to close shortly after Benjamin's death. A search of Wansley's LinkedIn page also listed her as the camp's executive director.
