We live less than a mile from the spill site, and we lived in the toxic fumes that enveloped this entire city for days without any warning of inhalation dangers. We felt nauseous and had headaches constantly, and I worry how that may have affected my child. The general population, but more importantly, pregnant mothers have been ill-advised and disregarded as a public concern since the beginning of this situation, and I have had enough of it. I have contacted my own attorney to pursue legal action, because we are left with no choice but to move out of our beautiful house and neighborhood to ensure the safety of our newborn son. This is a huge financial burden that we cant afford, but my attorney has informed me that because of Freedom Industries Chapter 11 filing we are years away from even beginning the litigation process. We are far from any retribution being dealt to those who deserve it, and my family is not receiving any compensation for the atrocities imposed on us. As a result, we feel like trapped lab rats. As a fellow father, I am reaching out to you, and I have some questions. When is this going to become a federal matter? Do you just not care what is happening down here? Is it really just acceptable for the people of Appalachia to be ignored when things like this happen because of this regions past history? Is it not on your radar just because nobody has died? When are you going to visit here and talk to these people who are STILL suffering and see how this has affected everyones lives? What plans do you have to help the pregnant women and the mothers of young children in this area who are still without safe water?
