THE ACREAGE, FL-- Faye McCann says her adorable three and a half year old daughter Jenna, was killed by an orange-sized brain tumor.

"She was so young, she wasn't to blame," McCann said.

The McCanns live in The Acreage, where residents are concerned an environmentally caused cancer cluster is giving children tumors.

WPTV NewsChannel Five has interviewed six mothers all of whom saw their children developed tumors; most of them brain tumors.

They all live within a mile and a half of each other, a remarkably tight packing of cases say experts.

The State of Florida is in the early stages of an investigation.

The law firm associated with activist Erin Brockovich is considering doing its own investigation.
