  1. School Court TV draws young actors into courtroom dramas

  6. Lead Poisoning Prevention Week

    Lead can do great harm, especially to young children. Childhood lead poisoning at low levels may make learning difficult, interfere with growth, harm hearing and delay development. At high levels, lead may cause coma, convulsions and even death. The leading cause of lead poisoning is lead dust from lead-based paint, which was used in most homes until 1978. Young children are exposed to lead through normal everyday activities such as crawling on the floor and putting their hands, toys or other objects in their mouths.

  8. Lead paint judgments: the shame of the city

    For the past two decades, many in Maryland have worked tirelessly to eliminate lead poisoning and to protect our most vulnerable children and families. It has required a lot of heavy lifting — organizing and educating parents, children and homeowners, strengthening enforcement standards and compelling property owners to become partners in primary prevention. Through all of this, Maryland has been blessed with great public sector leadership that understood that by eliminating the tragic and costly impact of lead on our children, schools, juvenile justice system and communities, we would all reap great benefits. This collective effort has resulted in a 98.6 percent reduction in lead poisoning in our state.

  9. Lead paint case: A poisoned compromise

    The Maryland Court of Appeals decision this week to throw out liability limits for landlords upsets what had been one of the most productive compromises to come out of Annapolis in recent memory. The state's 1994 lead paint law, a product of extensive negotiations between property owners and public health advocates, has indisputably achieved its most crucial purpose: a drastic reduction in the number of children who are exposed to lead paint and, as a result, risk a lifetime of cognitive problems.

  10. Overdue justice for lead paint victims

    In the 1960s, Baltimore's leaders, driven by both desperate need and newfound vision, enacted a first-of-its-kind housing code for the City of Baltimore. Its provisions ensured that Baltimore's residents, including even the poorest, would be able to obtain, at a bare minimum, housing that was "fit for human habitation."
