What the hell, WATER is a basic human right and this is happening in the US?...People in Detroit are losing their CHILDREN when their water is turned off. For an unpaid water bill your children can be taken out of the home. From Flow for Water: Every day... in a city that is situated right by a body of water carrying one fifth of the world’s water supply, (people) are having their water ruthlessly cut off...Most of the residents are African American and two thirds of the cut offs involve children, which means that in some cases, child welfare authorities are moving in to remove children from their homes as it is a requirement that there be working utilities in all homes housing children. This is a human rights violation and a crime against our collective humanity. (Flow for Water website: flowforwater.org/water-cut-offs-in-detroit-a-violation-of-human-rights/)
