The problems began when Flint switched its water source from the Great Lakes to the Flint River. For more than a year, lead leached from the pipes because the city failed to add standard anti-corrosion chemicals to the water.

At least 100 children have tested positive for high levels of toxic lead in their blood.  There is no known cure for lead poisoning.  What went wrong here? Could it happen in your neighborhood? What happens now?  Was this as ScientificParent.com contributor and Flint resident, Ontell Babbett describes as "simply a catastrophic failure of leadership or at worst - environmental racism." 

Tonight we welcome Babbett to our show as we discuss this entire situation and what the future may hold not only for residents of Flint, Michigan but the rest of the country.
