Someone decided to change the results of the children tested. The corruption and lying never went unchecked and the children and their parents did not know they needed follow up care. The records were changed and for that reason the children were never treated.

Flint -- Just months after the federal government (click here) recognized a health emergency because of Flint's water in 2016, the Genesee County Health Department was drowning in what came next.
The county couldn't keep up with followup care for hundreds of city kids identified with lead poisoning during the Flint water crisis - more than 200 at the start of the new year, according to state and county records requested by MLive-The Flint Journal through the Freedom of Information Act.
When the state Department of Health and Human Services assessed the county's performance in providing after-care to children with blood lead levels above 5 micrograms per deciliter, it found 85 percent - 173 of 204 children -- had not been connected to the program set up to make them better.
The county's own statistics show that by mid-March, 73 percent of children referred for after-care were not active in case management.
But by May 2016, the county's contract to handle the work had been terminated because of low levels of engagement and a reluctance to take federal resources offered to improve its performance, MDHHS spokeswoman Geralyn Lasher said....
The depth of corruption never ends. These are human beings and no one ever took responsibility for the children's exposure to lead. No one. They rather bury the information that told of the children's serious poisoning and attempted to make it disappear. If there was no reporting the program connected to the testing was cancelled to end useless spending when others could use it.
This would have continued until today if the country didn't become aware of the poisonings. DID YOU GET THAT? If there was no exposure to this poisoning the children would never be tested again and no treatment would be available and the problem would still not be known.
THE PEOPLE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE LIVES OF CHILDREN DIDN'T CARE IF THEY DIED OF LEAD POISONING! THEY DIDN'T CARE IF ANYONE DIED OF LEAD POISONING. THE INCIDENTS OF LEGIONNAIRES DISEASE WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN CONNECTED TO THE LEAD POISONING.
DO YOU KNOW HOW CLOSE IT CAME TO NEVER DETECTING THE SILENT KILLER THAT THE MICHIGAN GOVERNOR TURNED LOOSE ON THE PEOPLE OF FLINT?

Flint -- The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (click here) official who detailed problems with Flint's corrosive water in 2015 says the city was in violation of the Lead and Copper Rule even before lead levels began to rise.
Miguel Del Toral, a regional groundwater regulations manager for EPA, said Flint should have been required to treat water from the Flint River the moment it was put into use as the city's water source.
Del Toral made the comment Thursday, Sept. 27, after nearly of full day of challenges from attorneys for four current and former officials at the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality in Genesee District Court.
The four -- Stephen Busch, Michael Prysby, Patrick Cook, and Liane Shekter-Smith -- are charged with criminal wrongdoing in their jobs in relation to the Flint water crisis....
The Flint River was very polluted. Not a little bit polluted, but, very polluted. One of the things that has to be realized with such a waterway is SEEPAGE of the river into surrounding land and surrounding GROUNDWATER sources.
The Flint River was in complete violation of any poisons within the river and no one did anything about it. The Flint River was allowed to be polluted without intervention to remove the sediment and clean the water by ending the sources of pollution. Along any river in the USA, UNTIL TRUMP, there were standards in place the state the degree of pollution allowed in water anywhere in the USA. The Flint River was in chronic violation and a danger to people, nature and anything living, including other plants.
When the Flint River started to flow into the pipes of Flint, it was a poison being allowed into the potable water of Flint. There was no excuse for what happened, except, the fact Snyder treated Flint as a city without rights even to clean drinking water because of DEBT!
What is going to happen to the USA as it runs up it's national debt, will Trump pull the plug on human health, too?

US Senate Judiciary must vote to reject Mr. Kavanaugh as a viable nominee to any judgeship. The evidence is overwhelmingly.
By multiple accusers the same serious scenario was evident with Mr. Kavanaugh. The politics over such appointees must end. The country overwhelmingly rejects Mr. Kavanaugh for the Supreme Court.
In reaction to Dr. Ford’s testimony women reached out for help. She has empowered women in the USA to act on their own behalf.
RAINN was founded in 1963 and it is having record high call volumes of 147 percent above normal. The testimony by Dr. Ford is very serious and the US Senate Judiciary Committee should take it very seriously. Kavanaugh has no defense for the allegations and the committee has to account for their decision. Senator Graham’s rage yesterday was as much a faux front as the committee’s hostile decision of a prosecutorial interviewer. Mr. Kavanaugh is not a good prospect for the US Supreme Court and that has been the case for most of his career in pursuing these placements. He is and has been a political choice, as his temperament revealed yesterday.
Judicial temperament is paramount to any judicial appointee. Yesterday Mr. Kavanaugh demonstrated he is incapable of the type of restraint necessary for any judgeship and Senator Graham’s demeanor was deplorable. The Republican Party has lost it’s moral moorings to the point where government process has turned into an opportunity for a political show and not the practice of law. They should be fully ashamed of themselves. Mr. Kavanaugh’s nomination was never taken seriously so much as a temporary political stepping stone. The US Constitution itself has turned into a political play for a desperate party that has lost it’s purpose.
