Found a story over at Confederate Yankee that talked about a family where the parents abandoned their teenage children spiritually and otherwise to prepare for the end. They were followers of the religious leader, Camping, in question here. One of the children, Grace, said her mom told her that she would not be going to heaven with Mom and Dad when the end was to come yesterday. The children's story is sad and troubling.
As part of the story, the author speculated on the thoughts of those followers who are now faced with the fact that the end did not come. Here is a quote. The rest can be found here http://confederateyankee.mu.nu/

This awkward realization is going to impact a very small community of end times believers when the sun comes up today and tomorrow and the day after that as it always has. They're going to realize they were fools.
But are they going to understand why?
Are they going to understand that they fell for Camping's false prophesy because they do not want responsibility over their own lives? Once they make that revelation, will they end their lives in despair, or will they try to get the therapy they need to discover why they are so willing to abandon the lives and children the real God gave to them as the most precious of gifts?
While I fear the former and hope for the later, odds are that many of these weak-willed followers will listen when Camping finds the "error" in his end times math and resets the end of the world several more years or decades into the future (he had already done so once before). They will still follow the false prophesy of a near-time Revelation, and continue to create the Hell on Earth for their families, a fate that they so ironically sought to avoid.
