Julia, Lead The way Lead Poisoning awareness

Good Week and Hugs and Kisses

Kimberly Cole

Julia after submitting the Court, just a note to her 8 October 2010

Dear Julia, You made me very proud today. You handled yourself with honesty, courage and bravery. Being deposed is not for the meek or faint hearted. Disregard the Attorneys inquiry about ever having read "1,001 things to do with a dead cat". Im sorry that upset you. Some grown ups (even ones that are that are professionals and parents) hav'nt a clue about the depths of a childs love for their pet. I think Mojo and Misty would have liked your response. I sure did. You are such a gift to me , Dave and your entire family. Like I said to the stenographer regarding this lead poisoning case; "I am blessed" to still have you. Some lead poisoned childrens parents are'nt so lucky. SO WE WIN ♥ Love, Mommy

Albert Guinon said, "When everyone is absolutely against you, it means that you are absolutely wrong -- or absolutely right."~ Julia is having her depositions this week. It is my hope that Bloggers will read about Lead poisoning enhance their knowledge and awareness of the dangers of lead paint. Keep lead poisoned children in your thoughts, chances are good you or someone you love were one of them...

Dear Facebook

Dear anyone at Facebook that cares~I am awaiting word on the status of my PAGE entitled Julia lead the way (PAGE). I have been new to Facebook (in the last year) and am not very good on the PC and am not sure of the best way to get a response. Many of the over 1,000 friends are looking for the Lead awareness page that I started in April 2010 and recieved an immediate GREAT response to. The friends were added via multiple "suggestions" and I am confused as to why Facebook allows for suggestions if they are going to disable you for confirming them?! The page had a great deal of pertinent and quality HONEST information and the other pages I see that remain make me question the validity of our page being disabled.. Theres an awful lot of trash , porn, violence and predudice that is allowed!! You should change the rules if you are going to HURT people by removing their hard work and efforts to help -by doing things like this. I am hopeful that if this matter is reconsidered we can get our page back up. If not Please tell me where I can obtain a copy of its contents IN ITS ENTIRETY. I am going to have a Superior Court case regarding our Lead poisoning experience and will state to the court that the best that has come out of this nightmare was the positive feedback and friendship that I gained fro the friends I "met" on this page. So for that I say thanks! ~ Kim Cole

I would like to see that towns school departments have lead paint abatement and/or lead certificates available online so that parents can be assured that schools are safe and lead free. My children and I have been exposed to 15,000+ micrograms of airborne lead dust. The CLPPP(Childhood lead poisoning prevention program) assured me we were safe. They were wrong and we got quite sick.Many state agencies dropped the ball and my ability to take anyones word is non existent when it comes to the topic of lead. I cant get this documentation from my childrens schools and I have made numerous inquiries to principles, school superintedent, and the business office for the schools. While were at it-lets work to lower the PEL(permissable elevated lead level) in Massachusetts kids from 10 millilters per deciliter to 5! A child is a terrible thing to waste. Thank you for your consideration and for this open forum.

Julia Lead The Way Blog ( and on Facebook)

This blog was created to provide the public with information on lead paint/exposure and poisoning; To promote understanding of Massachusetts and general laws pertaining to lead; To provide links to news, educational and informational sites on the dangers of lead and information on wellness~ 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 18 Winthrop Street in Abington ,Ma.-a rented apt. 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.I have Superior case(s) pending. It is my hope to see the PEL ( permissable elevated lead level) lowered from 10 to 5. Lead laws changed in April 2010. Please educate yourselves on the DANGERS found right in some of your own homes. Peace~

Lead is a main-group element with symbol Pb (Latin: plumbum) and atomic number 82. Lead is a soft, malleable poor metal. It is also counted as one of the heavy metals. Metallic lead has a bluish-white color after being freshly cut, but it soon tarnishes to a dull grayish color when exposed to air. Lead has a shiny chrome-silver luster when it is melted into a liquid.

Lead is used in building construction, lead-acid batteries, bullets and shots, weights, as part of solders, pewters, fusible alloys and as a radiation shield. Lead has the highest atomic number of all of the stable elements, although the next higher element, bismuth, has a half-life that is so long (much longer than the age of the universe) that it can be considered stable. Its four stable isotopes have 82 protons, a "magic number" in the nuclear shell model of atomic nuclei.

Lead is a poisonous substance to animals. It damages the nervous system and causes brain disorders. Excessive lead also causes blood disorders in mammals. Like the element mercury, another heavy metal, lead is a potent neurotoxin that accumulates both in soft tissues and the bones. Lead poisoning has been documented from ancient Rome, ancient Greece, and ancient China.
