DFACS keeps stabbing/rape victim's daughter and won't give her back

A young Ball Ground mother was raped by a meth crazed man, Gerald A. Lee, and fought back with a kitchen knife after he threatened to rape her 7-year-old daughter and killed him. Now Cherokee County DFACS are deliberating as to whether she can have her daughter back! Their alleged excuse: She made some bad choices in the past.

DFACS has made some sick choices in the past and bad publicity hasn't seemed to hamper them from stealing
"babies yet again. There's an upcoming hearing on custody this week where a panel of DFACS officials will decide on who gets this mom's daughter. She's being represented by DFACS' contract attorneys. Anyone feeling queasy?

What's so perplexing about the rape is that the cops could have/should have arrested Gerald A. Lee the night before. Atlanta area cops make it a priorty to shoot down a 92-year-old woman in a no-knock drug raid when it is obvious that she was NOT involved in illegal drug distribution. Georgia authorities routinely punish innocent women and let 'teh' dude offenders off the hook. Enough already!

"It was one of a series of episodes that shed light on some of Lee's last hours before he grabbed a shotgun and broke into a house in the woods of Cherokee County.

"The woman he raped and seriously injured was recovering Thursday in a hospital in Atlanta.

"This guy was kind of active prior to this incident," Capt. Ron Hunton of the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office said Thursday. "He certainly acted strange."

"Investigators got their first hint of trouble with Lee after Albertson told a Cobb County police officer that Lee kicked her outside a Waffle House about 12:30 a.m. Sunday.

"They asked me if I wanted to press charges. And I said 'Hell yeah, I want to press charges," the 21-year-old said. "I didn't want someone else getting hurt."

"By the time a patrol car arrived, Lee was gone. An officer took Albertson's statement and told her she could later ask a magistrate to issue an arrest warrant.

"Albertson disputes that, but police say it's standard procedure except in cases of domestic violence, felonies or incidents where an officer can talk with both parties involved and determine if a crime has been committed.

"In those cases, officers can obtain a warrant on their own.

"About an hour after Albertson says Lee kicked her, Officer S.S. Ladner of the Canton Police Department spotted Lee at another Waffle House, on Marietta Highway.

"Lee was bloody and incoherent and said he had been in a bar fight, according to police reports.

Ladner handcuffed Lee after learning about the assault on Albertson but let him go because Cobb police had no charges against him."
