ICYMI: First Lady Targets Human Trafficking; Weekend Editorial Roundup
First Lady Marty Kemp Leads the Fight Against Human Trafficking
USA Today: "'It's a hard topic to talk about,' said Kemp...who has a daughter in high school and two attending the University of Georgia. 'It's hard for parents to discuss it because you just don't want to think that it's in your community but it is, and we are going to talk about it.'"
"She hopes Georgia's efforts to fight sex trafficking can be a model for other states -- and that her advocacy will help protect more young girls and boys. 'Know there's a way out,' Kemp said, holding back tears. 'Know that we are here to help them ... we are fighting hard for them every day so they don't have to choose that life.'"
Gang Database
Valdosta Daily Times Editorial: "The law establishing the database was passed 10 years ago. A pilot program brought together several metro Atlanta law enforcement agencies and now that it has been made a priority, the bank of information contains data on more than 100 gangs and over 17,000 gang members and associates, according to the GBI."
"Gov. Kemp pointed out that street gangs have touched nearly every county in the state and there are 159 of them. A drug bust last month by Thomas County narcotics agents led to six gang-related charges. One of two homicides in Thomasville last year was reported linked to street gang activity. We hope the governor's efforts and those of the GBI and other law enforcement agencies curtail and eradicate street gangs wherever they are operating."
