Read what Fracking does to people and the companies claim they have done nothing wrong and in the end the courts will side with the corporations! Robert Parr, a 53-year-old stonemason and cattle rancher, has lived on his 40-acre spread near Decatur, about 40 miles northwest of Fort Worth, since 2001. Lisa, 45, and her daughter Emma, now 11, moved in with him in 2007. The couple married a year later. That was about when the fracturing boom reached that part of Texas, smack atop the lucrative Barnett Shale formation, considered among the largest producible reserves of onshore natural gas in the country. Lisa, a stay-at-home mom, said that in November 2008 she started feeling sick to her stomach and suffered from blinding headaches. She brushed it off as the flu, but she didnt get better. She got worse. Soon, she said, she developed a mysterious rash all over her body and open sores that never healed. Sometimes she had trouble standing and became disoriented. Once the rashes and sores became so severe that emergency room doctors had to pack her body in ice. Her daughter, then in first grade, had horrible nosebleeds as she slept and would awaken soaked in blood. Her husband began to have memory problems. We went to eight different doctors. None of them could figure it out, Lisa Parr said. Their calves were born with birth defects, and their pets began to die. By January 2010, the Parrs neighbors also complained of mysterious ailments. That family hired a specialist to test the air and suggested the Parrs do the same. latimes/nation/la-na-fracking-lawsuit-20140424,0,508199.story#ixzz2zo4ust2N
