Lead-safety Message: “In 2003 Kim Cole and family were poisoned by 15,000+ micrograms of LEAD dust when the Master state inspector of the CLPPP (childhood lead poisoning PREVENTION program) passed failing swipes at their home in Abington, MA. The Board of Health, landlord, OSHA and CLPPP took weeks to determine that a horrendous error had transpired. Their error could have cost children their lives. Lead can cause mental retardation, seizures and Death. While their case is pending in Superior Court; Julia tried her hand at advocacy work and this is her video. Thanks for helping to raise lead poisoning awareness! For more information about lead poisoning awareness see our Facebook Group Julia Lead the Way. Peace.”
