A north ville mother called us to say her child's elementary

school

is infested with mold. She says the problem is so bad it's making her

child sick. ...

I was helping the friend of a married couple with infant children move

into a house they had just bought in 1997. Back in those days

virtually everybody fought with me about mold. It didn't do any good

to say a word. I was getting " slammed " in the house so badly I

refused to go back inside. While I was standing in the yard I heard

the owner call from beneath the house (doing electrical work) that the

ground beneath the house had so much groundwater that the previous

owners had tried to cover the entire basement area with plastic and he

could feel water below. Meanwhile the two children inside were

screaming as if with the Cholic. The mother came outside and said

" It's so strange. The kids were always so well behaved and quiet

until the very day we moved into this house. Now they scream and cry

constantly. I get no sleep. It doesn't make sense. "

I told the friend of the couple " You know the reason why I can't step

back inside the house. You know why the children are screaming. They

are your friends and no one will believe me. Will you tell them? "

" No. There's nothing and I can do and I don't think they'd believe it

anyway " .

When I think back on this it reminds me of Psalms 8.2: " Out of the

mouths of Babes " - if only people would listen.
