Caption: Trying to work around his parents ruling, Joshua Roth,7, stands in the bedroom asking his dad if he can go outside to play since he has the protection of his Darth Vader mask - the ventilator might protect him from the lead dust - Thursday February 23, 2012, in Festus. "I haven't let my kids outside to play since mid- November after we found about the lead issue," said Meyer. "It's so unfair. I want to keep them safe," she said. Testing last fall by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources revealed high lead levels in the sediment left on city streets from trucks leaving the Shapiro Brothers scrap metal recycling center . The Meyers live along truck haul route. Photo by Laurie Skrivan, lskrivan@post-dispatch.com
