It has been two years since officials informed residents that their tap water was unsafe to drink because of toxic levels of lead. \u00a0In that time, Flint mother Lee-Anne Walters has seen her two 5-year old twin boys suffer from developmental issues including not growing properly for their age, a form of memory loss that makes it difficult for them to remember their colors and ABCs and hand-eye coordination problems.<\/p>\n<p>It is not only the physical and visible effects the family has to cope with but the psychological impact as well.
