Tatry_official says the family was descending from Rysy, a mountain in the High Tatras, which features “difficult terrain” and chains. The caption continues: “The whole family [is] completely unprepared for such a hike. This is no longer courage or adventure. This is absolute irresponsibility of parents.”
Several people in the comments section agree with the poster’s stance, while others stand up for the family, saying it’s not really that big of a deal. What do you think?
