'Lives are at stake': Families urge the city to adopt practices to handle lead paint poisoning

Some Cleveland families and two city entrepreneurs believe much more needs to be done to move forward in mitigating the lead paint poisoning problem threatening the well-being of thousands of northeast Ohio children.

Robin Brown, whose 4-year-old daughter suffered from lead painting poisoning in 1999, believes lawmakers at every level need to take the lead paint issue more seriously.

Brown founded her own organization, Concerned Citizens Organized Against Lead, in 2005.
