East Point candidate faces child cruelty charges weeks before election
EAST POINT, Ga. - A woman running for East Point City Council is facing serious criminal charges just weeks before voters head to the polls.
Marie Terry, a candidate for City Council, has been arrested and charged with three counts of child cruelty. The allegations stem from her role as a foster parent to three children, ages 13 to 17....
According to arrest warrants, Terry is accused of hitting the teens with a skillet, a wooden grill scraper, and a plastic bat when they "needed to be disciplined."

Except he used a razor strap, a wooden pole, a pig slapper, his belt, or whatever he could get his hands on. He once sliced my leg open with a flyswatter because I did not come into the living room fast enough. I was four.
Since this is Georgia, let's see if the status quo downplays this. I expect them to do so, to be honest.
Or, did they deserve it, as people used to tell me?
