Assaults On Kids, Intervention and Investigations, His Experience. Retired Georgia Detective Shares the Harsh Truth About Investigations Into Assaults On Kids. In a recent interview on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, which is available for free on their website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast platforms. It is also promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium, retired Georgia law enforcement officer Bryan McRee opened up about his harrowing experience investigating assaults and sex assaults on kids, a career focus he never anticipated but ultimately became his calling. With 25 years in law enforcement, Bryan's journey took him from a city Police Department to the Lowndes County Sheriff's Office in south-central Georgia, where he served as a Detective. It was there that he found himself pulled into the darkest aspects of crime: investigations into child sexual abuse. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. “I never thought this would become a specialty for me,” Bryan said. “But once I handled my first case involving a child, I realized how critical it was that someone do this right, and do it with compassion.” Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . Throughout his career, Bryan led numerous investigations involving minors, often uncovering trauma that had been hidden within trusted circles. Assaults On Kids, Intervention and Investigations, His Experience. “The majority of these assaults come from someone the child knows, a family member, a coach, a caretaker,” he explained. “That betrayal adds another layer of trauma, and it complicates the investigation.” Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. Bryan detailed two specific cases that he believes the news media often misrepresents, stories that don't make for comfortable headlines, but are sadly common. According to Bryan, intervention needs to happen early, and the focus should always be on the victims, not sensationalism. “One of the hardest parts was facing attacks, not just from suspects, but sometimes from their families, who refused to believe the victim. That's something the public rarely sees,” he noted. “But these kids... they needed someone to believe them.” The emotional toll of these cases wasn't lost on Bryan. Assaults On Kids, Intervention and Investigations, His Experience. You can listen to his stories and interview on our website for free in addition to platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and other major podcast platforms. “You try to leave the job at the office, but when a kid looks you in the eye and says what happened to them, that stays with you. You carry that forever.” He emphasized that part of his duty wasn't just about arrests and convictions, it was about intervention, providing hope and healing to children and families whose lives had been shattered. Child sexual abuse is alarmingly prevalent. According to national statistics, every 68 seconds an American is sexually assaulted, and the vast majority of abused children, up to 93% that were sexually assaulted knew their abuser. Despite that, only 25 out of every 1,000 perpetrators are ever imprisoned. Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Medium and most all social media platforms. “People need to understand the scale of the problem,” Bryan stressed. “We're talking about hundreds of thousands of victims. And these kids often don't have a voice, so we have to be that voice.” Assaults On Kids, Intervention and Investigations, His Experience. In Georgia, initiatives like the Keeping Kids Safe Campaign are part of an ongoing effort to provide intervention services to victims. Organizations like the Georgia Center for Child Advocacy (GCCA) serve over 900 children each year, offering forensic interviews, trauma-informed therapy, and family support. “What GCCA does is incredible,” Bryan said. “They're rebuilding lives.” Lowndes County, where Bryan served, is located near the Florida border and is part of the Valdosta metropolitan area. Known for its strong community ties and rich history, the Sheriff's Office there operates with a mission rooted in justice, dignity, and community service. The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast website, also available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast outlets. “We were always taught to serve with integrity. To protect the innocent. That mission became very real when dealing with kids who had been assaulted.” Since retiring from law enforcement, Bryan has founded LEMS.Online, a company dedicated to modernizing law enforcement services. LEMS provides POST training, evidence room audits, and even duty-ready firearms and suppressors. The organization also offers a free training record management system for Georgia POST instructors, streamlining and improving how agencies track training and compliance. Assaults On Kids, Intervention and Investigations, His Experience. “It's about giving back,” he said. “My time as a cop taught me that law enforcement needs the right tools and training. LEMS is how I continue to serve, just in a different way.” His podcast episode dives deep into both the practical and emotional challenges of working cases involving the assaults on kids, and the vital role law enforcement plays in these investigations. His candid storytelling, combined with years of fieldwork, make it a must-listen for anyone interested in the reality behind the badge. You can listen to the full conversation now on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast Websitem, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and be sure to follow the ongoing discussion across Facebook, Instagram, X, and LinkedIn. Assaults On Kids, Intervention and Investigations, His Experience. Bryan's story is more than just a recount of a cop's experience, it's a sobering reminder of the work that still needs to be done to protect the most vulnerable among us.

Education, employment, and family formation are “the building blocks for a flourishing life,” says the leader of the Georgia Center for Opportunity. But, unfortunately, America's welfare system includes penalties for both work and family formation, Randy Hicks says. Although the safety net may not intend to punish work or the family, Hicks says, it does that through policies that reward Americans with financial benefits for earning less or remaining single. Among all the states, Utah has created a model for a strong welfare system, he says. Utah integrated its workforce services with welfare services in the 1990s, so when an individual seeks government assistance, the first step is to help him re-enter the workforce, if he is able, before providing monetary benefits.But around the year 2000, the federal government passed a law that made it almost impossible for states to integrate workforce and welfare services as Utah did. To change this situation, Hicks says, the Georgia Center for Opportunity and the Alliance for Opportunity advocate congressional legislation to "give states the flexibility to do what Utah did: integrate workforce and welfare so that we're not compartmentalizing someone's life but viewing it holistically and viewing it all as simply a means to a flourishing life that includes work.”Hicks joins this episode of “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss the path to restoring the value of education, work, and family in America.Enjoy the show!

For years, researchers have said that increased exposure to violent video games have had an enormous impact on our children becoming desensitized to violence. It feels like every day—whether it be on our favorite news program or as we mindlessly scroll through social media—we are constantly seeing graphic footage of heinous crimes: shootings, carjackings, vicious assaults, and even murder. For many people, the current crime crisis we find ourselves in may feel like a fog. But I assure you, many Americans don’t have the luxury of becoming desensitized, as they live each day in fear of becoming a victim. The crime crisis has had drastic effects on our society. And those suffering the most? Our most vulnerable communities. On this episode of the Blue View, National FOP President Patrick Yoes sits down with Josh Crawford. Josh is the Director of Criminal Justice Initiatives with the Georgia Center for Opportunity where he leads their public safety and re-entry work. He has testified before local and state legislative committees as well as Federal agencies and a Presidential commission. His work has been featured in the places like the National Review, the Washington Examiner, and Chicago Sun-Times, among other publications around the country.

Two students were injured during lunch Tuesday in a fight at Daniel Middle School, the Cobb County School District said. Emergency services responded to the scene and other students and staff were safe. The nature of the students' injuries was not disclosed, with district spokesperson Erich Rauch said he could not provide further details, but reports have come out that a knife was involved. Outside of Daniel Tuesday afternoon, one parent told reporters he came to pick up his daughter early from school because she had witnessed the altercation. She kept telling him that she didn't want to be there any more and begged for someone to pick her up. David Chastain, the Cobb school board member who represents Daniel, declined to go into specifics about the incident when reached by the MDJ. Cobb school board member Randy Scamihorn said the altercation at Daniel is not representative of the broader issues in CCSD. Scamihorn said the school district's police force is “thoroughly competent and outstanding,” and praised the district's teachers and counselors for their work to address students' problems and needs. One student was sickened after another released pepper spray on a Park Street Elementary school bus Tuesday, Marietta City Schools said. The district said first responders “were onsite immediately” to evaluate students and the bus driver, with no major injuries reported. The district did not provide additional information about the incident. The incident caused the bus to be delayed. Superintendent Grant Rivera said the staff responded quickly to this incident and that the district prioritizes safety of students and staff.   In a wide-ranging talk to the Cobb County Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday, U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff ticked through a laundry list of funding allocations and other legislative wins from his first two years in office. Of particular interest to Cobb were Senator Ossoff's comments about Lockheed Martin's Marietta plant, the neighboring Dobbins Air Reserve Base, and the Chattahoochee River. Senator Ossoff was introduced by Lockheed executive Rod McLean, who leads the Marietta plant, which employs nearly 5,000 people. The plant's flagship program is manufacturing the C-130J Super Hercules, which McLean called “the best tactical airlifter across the globe, ever made.” Senator Ossoff noted that in the 2023 omnibus spending bill, President Joe Biden did not request funding for any new C-130J planes. Senator Ossoff stated that the Georgia delegation and many Senators across the country felt they could not fail to provide guard and reserve units with the tactical airlift capabilities that they need, and that 16 Marietta-made C-130Js to the defense authorization appropriations measures this year. One of the biggest prizes Lockheed hopes to win is a contract to supply the U.S. Air Force with new aerial fuel tankers. Lockheed's LMXT plane, if given the nod, would be partially constructed at the firm's Marietta plant and could add upwards of 1,000 jobs to the 5,000 already employed there. The senator also touted $40 million in new funding he secured to protect the Chattahoochee River, which provides 70% of metro Atlanta's drinking water. The exodus of Cobb County receivers from the University of Georgia continued on Monday when former Walton High School standout Dominick Blaylock entered his name into the transfer portal. Blaylock will leave as a graduate transfer after he earns his expected degree in housing management and policy later this spring. The redshirt junior will have two years of eligibility remaining. The 6-foot-1, 225-pound pass catcher finished the 2022-23 season with 15 receptions for 227 yards and a touchdown. He played in all 15 games and will leave the program with two national championship rings. This past season, was the first in which he remained healthy after coming all the way back from two ACL injuries that cost him the entire 2020 season and much of 2021. With Blaylock's departure, he becomes the third receiver from the county to enter the portal joining former Marietta standout tight end Arik Gilbert, who made the decision before the College Football Playoffs, and former Kennesaw Mountain star tight end Ryland Goede, who made his announcement last week. Goede and Blaylock are close friends, who came to UGA beginning with the 2019 season. As a true freshman, Blaylock was making his mark as a punt returner and a receiver. He had 18 receptions for 310 yards and five touchdowns, but suffered his first torn ACL in the SEC Championship game against LSU. The following fall he reinjured the same ACL and was not able to return to the field until the middle of the 2021 season. This season, he found himself behind receivers Ladd McConkey and Kearis Jackson and others, along with the offense geared to tight ends Brock Bowers and Darnell Washington, it was hard to for Blaylock to find opportunities. He had a season-high three catches against Missouri, he caught his touchdown pass against Vanderbilt, and his final catch of his Bulldogs' career was a 20-yarder against Ohio State on third-and-10 against Ohio State in the Peach Bowl.

The Cobb Community Foundation, in conjunction with United Way of Greater Atlanta Northwest, announced that 5 Network for Good Jumpstart capacity-building grants of $5,000 each have been awarded to H.O.P.E. Family Resource Center, The Sobriety Resource, Connecting Generations, Self-Discovery Pain, Positioning and Purpose, and Circles Cobb for 2023. The Jumpstart grant program partnership, now in its second year, will provide a robust, 12-month training schedule to build fundraising capacity, diversify revenue, and grow and sustain programs for a new group of nonprofits. These five agencies were selected as a result of a carefully planned approach to meet human service needs in Cobb as identified by a study commissioned in 2019 by CCF. The data collected was used to create a heat map showing where assistance should be targeted. The study emphasized the need for services to be available not just to the area of need but in the area of need. Nonprofits operating in the locality bordered to the north by State Route 360 to the east by South Cobb Drive and to the south by I-285 were then invited to learn more about the demanding Jumpstart program activities. To ensure readiness, Leadership at H.O.P.E. Family Resource Center, The Sobriety Resource, Connecting Generations and Self-Discovery Pain, Positioning and Purpose first participated in a six-month training program offered in 2022 through the Georgia Center for Nonprofits, paving the way for their participation in the Jumpstart program in 2023. The newly established Circles Cobb was identified as the fifth and final organization to join the cohort. The $25,000 needed to fund these grants was underwritten by Corporate Community Champion Liberty Furniture. In 2023, CCF's investment in even more organizations like these five will be further leveraged through its partnership with United Way.    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A Canton man has been sentenced to 25 years in prison in two separate cases after he was convicted of charges including rape, involuntary manslaughter, trafficking fentanyl and aggravated assault, the Cherokee County District Attorney's office announced. Nicholas Brian Gosnell, 23, pled guilty and was sentenced August 23, in total, to 25 years in prison, followed by life on probation, for two separate cases involving multiple crimes and three different victims. During the hearing, Gosnell admitted to charges of rape, involuntary manslaughter, violation of Georgia Controlled Substances Act (6 counts), trafficking fentanyl, and aggravated assault/strangulation. According to the district attorney's office, in July 2018, Cherokee Sheriff's Office deputies began investigating a drug-facilitated sexual assault. On the evening of the assault, Gosnell gave a young woman illegal drugs and later forced more intoxicants on her before raping her, prosecutors said. After an investigation that included a sexual assault exam, forensic extractions, DNA testing, and witness interviews, CSO deputies arrested Gosnell for rape. In September 2020, the Cherokee Multi-Agency Narcotics Squad received information that Gosnell, who had been released on bond over the state's objection, was selling narcotics. After CMANS initiated an investigation, undercover agents purchased drugs from Gosnell, which field-tested positive for fentanyl. A search warrant at Gosnell's home resulted in CMANS finding 36 oxycodone pills, fentanyl patches, 224 alprazolam pills, other pills, and $28,000 in cash. When agents forensically examined Gosnell's cell phone, they found texts from John O'Connell, 40, who had consumed drugs containing fentanyl and died on Aug. 19, 2020. O'Connell's death had previously been ruled an accidental overdose, but after reviewing these texts, CMANS began investigating this death as a homicide. A father and daughter from Canton were killed in a crash on Knox Bridge Highway Thursday, the Cherokee Sheriff's Office reported. According to the sheriff's office, deputies were dispatched to a four-vehicle crash at about 11:30 a.m. Thursday on Knox Bridge Highway near Scott Hudgens Drive in Canton. The crash is still under investigation, but according to the sheriff's office preliminary indications are that a Ford F150 truck traveling east crossed the center line and struck a Nissan Armada traveling west. A man who was driving the Armada and his daughter who was in the back seat were killed, authorities said. His wife and juvenile daughter were transported to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital with non-life threatening injuries. The father and daughter were Chris Mynes, 52, and Alivia Mynes, 18, of Canton, the sheriff's office reported Friday.  The driver of the F-150, a 24-year-old from Canton, was also transported to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital with non life threatening injuries. No other injuries were reported. A grand jury has formally charged a Woodstock man with armed robbery after authorities say he held another man at gunpoint and stole his money. According to his indictment filed November 14, Oswaldo Ruiz-Garcia, 24, is charged with two counts of armed robbery, four counts of aggravated assault and two counts of possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony. Per his arrest warrant filed August 19 by the Woodstock Police Department, he is charged with holding a man at gunpoint and stealing $200 and a wallet from him between 10:10 and 10:20 p.m. August 19. Last Wednesday, he was in the Cherokee County jail without bond. He has an arraignment scheduled December 9, according to court documents. An indictment is a formal charge of felony offenses, and defendants are assumed innocent until proven guilty.   Cherokee Thanksgiving gave about 2,400 meals Thursday to families in Cherokee and Pickens County, an organizer of the event said. La Catrina Tacos & Margaritas was the host for the event this year. Restaurant staff from both La Catrina and Williamson Bros. Bar-B-Q in Canton prepared the meals and volunteers assembled them and sent them out for delivery. This year's event was originally planned to be held from Williamson Bros. Bar-B-Q in Canton, which has helped provide food in the past, but moved to La Catrina after a fire shut down the restaurant earlier this month. The Cherokee Thanksgiving meal this year was chicken, rice, green beans, dressing and gravy, a roll and a sugar cookie. Additional trays of chicken rice green beans rolls and cookies were donated to Atlanta Mission for the homeless. Over 200 volunteers contributed to the effort, now in its 30th year, Cherokee Thanksgiving coordinator Cheryl Mosley said. "A huge shout out and thank you to La Catrina restaurant in Canton for hosting us this year. In addition to providing meals old friendships were renewed and new friendships were made among the volunteers," she said The Rotary Club of Woodstock recently served a homemade Thanksgiving feast to residents of Colbert Square Senior Housing. The annual Thanksgiving dinner is a longtime favorite tradition for the club. To connect with the club or for more information visit their Facebook page. Cherokee County nonprofits and other charities across the state are participating in GA Gives on Giving Tuesday, which is today. Held the Tuesday following Thanksgiving, Giving Tuesday is an international day of giving to follow the traditional shopping days of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. GA Gives, hosted by the Georgia Center for Nonprofits, invites people to donate to their favorite charities in the state through their website, GAgives.org. The platform is free to nonprofits, and they can use it year-round to raise funds through custom profile pages. Participating Cherokee County organizations include Cherokee Theatre Company, Reeling in Recovery and Service League of Cherokee County Georgia. Last year's GA Gives on GivingTuesday campaign helped raise a total of $27,147,800 for Georgia nonprofits through more than 180,000 donations. Since its founding in 2012, the GA Gives movement has rallied over 556,000 individual contributions and raised more than $90 million for the nonprofits working to create positive and lasting change throughout Georgia. #CherokeeCounty #Georgia #LocalNews           -          -          -          -          -          -          The Cherokee Tribune Ledger Podcast is local news for Woodstock, Canton, and all of Cherokee County. Register Here for your essential digital news.             This podcast was produced and published for the Cherokee Tribune-Ledger and TribuneLedgerNews.com by BG Ad Group     For more information be sure to visit https://www.bgpodcastnetwork.com/    https://cuofga.org/   https://www.drakerealty.com/   https://www.esogrepair.com/       See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
