I accidentally got a mentally unstable woman hired at a summer camp

It’s been almost it’s been 5 years now and I still think about this. No one knows it was my fault:

When I was a kid I went to a summer camp with this girl, let’s call her Becca. I didn’t really know she was kinda off because I was 10 and didn’t really grasp it yet. It wasn’t something blatant. We were both “weird girls” so I thought it was just that. Becca and I were best friends at camp and kept in touch years later.

As we got older, I realized that she was a little… off. I couldn’t put my finger on it but just assumed she had ASD. I was taught from a young age to accept everyone despite their differences, so this didn’t matter to me.

I ended up getting a job as an activities coordinator at this same camp during the pandemic. A month before I started, Becca called me and told me that she needed a job because her mother was sick. Her father is out of the picture and she is an only child. I felt really bad and told her that the camp we went to as a kid was hiring and gave her the phone number. I knew deep down that she wasn’t qualified to hold this job, but I did it anyway. I didn’t think they would hire her. I wanted to be helpful.

She called me the next day saying that she got the job. I was shocked. They either must have not done a background check or must have been really desperate and hired literally anyone. She was the councilor for a group of 7th grade girls, and it’s a good thing these girls were older and knew what was going on.

From what the campers told me she would act like a child, basically taking the opportunity to be a camper again and neglect all of her responsibilities. She would abandon kids on trips, not take kids to the bathroom and give the kids her social media (which isn’t allowed).

The kids would stalk her on social media and show me her cringy tiktoks, which I knew about because I followed her. At first I felt bad. But that faded once I found out she was having relations with a 16 year old councilor (Becca was 21). She would also manipulate and gaslight both staff and campers by telling fake stories of miscarriages and SA (she ended up admitting it) and staged a fake wedding to the 16 yo councilor where she literally wore white.

I felt bad. I’m the one who told her about this job. I’m the reason everyone had to encounter her. She did so many fireable things but the camp was so understaffed that they didn’t want to let her go. So this went on for a full 8 weeks. But it wasn’t all that bad. Some of her campers that complained to me ended up giving me her tip at the end of the summer 😭😭

It’s been 5 years now and Becca is even crazier and got involved in shady stuff. Thankfully, she’s not associated with the camp anymore.
