Georgians, take note, as when it comes to the safety of the nation’s children, no amount of caution is too much caution. Police in Atlanta, Georgia, are upholding this principle after posting a specific warning to parents and teachers after a massive drugs bust in September of 2018.The Hapeville Police Department amassed a disturbing haul, including colored pills and lollipops shaped like children’s cartoon characters, after a suspect ran from the scene of a car accident but left his computer bag behind.
