EAST PALESTINE, Ohio — Abbie Parsons remembers watching her children run and splash around the waters of Sulphur Run and Leslie Run in East Palestine with their cousins and the neighbor kids. One of her sons could spend hours nearly every day fishing for minnows, she said. Once, the children took their little tent to Leslie Run, just about 10 feet away from their house, to camp out.
It was exactly the kind of life she wanted for her five children.
"We have a ton of memories," Parsons said. "They were obsessed with that creek. I mean, I probably have pictures upon pictures of them having fun out there."
