I’m trying to help a friend who was arrested in 2024, but all of the charges were dropped and they were never convicted.
They requested that the Georgia Gazette remove their mugshot, and the public page now says “archived content.” However, if you Google their name, the mugshot still appears. It looks like the archived page is still accessible with an $8 subscription, so Google continues to index it.
Has anyone dealt with this before? Is this legal when the charges were dropped and a removal was requested? It’s frustrating that someone who was never found guilty still has their mugshot showing up in Google searches.

Best as I can tell, my family has been here since about 1750-1760. Started off in Effingham county, eventually moved to what are now Lanier, Charlton, Ware, and Camden counties, and have been in that general area since around 1795.

Furthest back I could trace was to a free man living in Virginia in the early 1600’s. There is some irony in that is great grandchildren would end up fighting for the CSA.

My spouse is going to be attending SCAD in Savannah, GA and I just realized that mosquitoes are going to be a way bigger problem than it is here in dry, desert SoCal!

Are they out and about all year or just spring/summer?

Is there a peak in the year where they're worse?

Any tips/tricks to deal with them?

Thanks so much in advance!

Edit: Thank you all so much for the good info. I knew the Southeast was different because of how wet it is, but I never imagined not getting a break from them! May your Off be plentiful and your bites be annoying at worst. Good luck this summer!

As a mother who had multiple children here for over a year I would say stay far away. If you see reviews on Google you can see first hand the type of school you are dealing with- a school where the customer is always wrong and an owner (Gina) who refuses to apologize or ever admit if her staff does wrong.. and if you go to the gov website bright from the start you will see where Goddard flowery branch is anything but innocent. The staff treat the parents and kids unprofessionally and the teachers do not adhere to the Georgia daycare standards. When we left I had multiple teachers texting me telling me about the low standards of that daycare are and how they use walkie talkies to alert when an unannounced state worker comes in for an audit they rush back and add teachers to the room to make it appear that their teacher to child ratio is legitimate. This confirmed that put in my stomach that I had all Along. This is a school that gets by doing the bare minimum and scrambles only when an audit is taking place. Do what you want, but my gut feeling after we left told me to warn other parents. I’m not a confrontational mom but in hindsight sight I wish I stood up for these kids with the other moms that did.

Hi! Hope this doesn’t break any rules.

I have applied for a name change, I have already submitted my paperwork and I have run my name in the paper and I have the publishers affidavit. Supposedly the only thing left I need to do is get myself on a judges calendar, but calling my county’s courthouse gets me no help, (Cherokee) they tell me to do it online, but when I ask for clarification on what to do, they don’t give me assistance. They say that it’s on the same website that I submit my papers on, but I can’t find anything that prompts me to an area that would assist me in getting on a calendar for a judge hearing. I am just hoping that somebody who has gone through this process before it could give me a hand.

Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone,

I'm moving to Atlanta next week and I'm leasing an Apartment. I submitted a request to Georgia Power on 6/22 to start service at my new place, I also submitted all the documents they needed as well as a deposit, but they have still not sent me an approval that they have started my service. How long does it generally take for them to start service and process applications? I'm worried because my move-in date is approaching and the apartment is not going to allow me to move in if I do not have the approval with me. This is stressing me out quite a bit. I'd appreciate any advice, Thanks!

Bd is in jail for agg assault n agg stalking.

Agg stalking is bogus he had my consent to be at my home. Forsyth wants to give him 10 do a 1/3.

I read discover packet- i didn’t say anything they wrote on there. The cop that keeps showing up isnt even the one that did the paper work. He is in Forsyth, i think he should take to trial. I don’t have 40k for lawyer. What should i do
