\"the-crying-boy\"<\/p>\n

\u2014 Patina Schneider, Australia<\/p>\n

As the main contact of the Australian Industrial Wind Turbine Awareness Network I hear from many people who are impacted from noise pollution created by industrial wind turbines. Nothing is worse than the plea from a parent who can\u2019t protect a child from the invasion of noise pollution created by wind turbines that were forced on their once peaceful rural community<\/p>\n

One mother has given me permission to share extracts from her emails. \u00a0Like so many other people I hear from, she tells how her family\u2019s life changed for the worse when the wind farm began operation. \u00a0The following are excerpts from her distraught emails regarding her child.<\/p>\n

Try living with the noise all the time. \u00a0It becomes unbearable!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow would you cope watching your child scream out in the middle of the night, pleading for the turbines to be turned off so they can sleep and to stop their bed from vibrating?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe even asked me if his brain had a heartbeat! \u00a0What he was talking about is a pulsing in his head.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe gets angry and frustrated from the lack of sleep.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI even laid on his bed one night, and I couldn\u2019t believe the vibration.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has the right to have a good night\u2019s sleep and not have to go to school too tired to learn and concentrate. \u00a0He should have the same rights as every other child to get an education.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cKids are supposed to be important, but apparently kids near turbines aren\u2019t considered. \u00a0Where are his rights and why is he not considered?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHis whole life is being affected. \u00a0If he can\u2019t concentrate to learn, what happens to his future?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI emailed the [wind energy] company, asking if they could put my son up in a house in town through the week so he could get a good night\u2019s sleep before going to school. \u00a0Our call for assistance went unanswered.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDo you know how frustrating it is not to be able to protect your child, and have that all taken away from you?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIT\u2019S ABOUT TIME SOMETHING WAS DONE. OUR SON IS IMPORTANT AND SO ARE ALL THE FAMILIES OUT THERE!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

This family has filed several hundred complaints since the wind farm began operation. They are trapped in their home because of financial constraints and their property devaluation. Their once happy life has been ruined, along with their business which they previously ran from their property.<\/p>\n

Numerous correspondence to the developer and government authorities pleading for help and for them to be relocated to another property has got them nowhere, nor have their hundreds of complaints.<\/p>\n

They are trapped, treated with complete disrespect or ignored.<\/p>\n

They are sleep deprived, angry and frustrated and just want back what they had \u2014 a normal, peaceful life with a happy son who can get a good night\u2019s sleep in his own bed and who can go to school and achieve his best. \u00a0Not a son waking, screaming in the middle of the night for the turbines to be turned off.<\/p>\n

Is this too much to ask?<\/p>\n
