Be Water: What Cobb County’s Water Agreements Can Teach Us About Protecting Kids
In Week 10 of Cobb 101, we toured a water reclamation facility and witnessed the expertise and 24/7 commitment required to keep clean water flowing to every home and business. That reliability isn’t accidental—it’s engineered through planning, coordination, and agreements that reduce friction across jurisdictions. But when it comes to children, we don’t build those pathways in advance. Instead, critical signals about a child’s mental state can get trapped behind FERPA, HIPAA, parental consent, and local rules—sometimes for months. What if we adopted a “Be Water” model: secure, pre-agreed information pathways that let authorized people act before a child reaches a breaking point?
