On the same day Michigan Attorney General Schuette announced involuntary manslaughter charges against five officials for their alleged role in the Flint water crisis, 9-year-old Flint resident Amariyanna “Mari” Copeny—known to the world as Little Miss Flint—got a rash on her arm from taking a long shower. “The water is still bad . . . It still smells like chemicals, and I still get rashes. It’s still a lot, and bad, and worse,” she said. Asked what should happen to the people charged, Little Miss Flint said she thinks “they should go to jail.” “And they need to fix the pipes. . . the state, the governor, the ones who caused it.” (Editor’s note: Excerpted from a story by Carla Javier originally published by fusion.kinja.com.)
