Lumpkin leads the way in the state of Georgia when it comes to training its staff in the Darkness to Light child sexual abuse prevention protocols. In fact, there are “only a handful, maybe three or four school systems, in the United States to do this,” said Georgia Center for Child Advocacy (GCCA) representative Tiffany Sawyer, far right.

Pictured are GCCA Northeast Georgia Regional Coordinator Steve Collins, Lumpkin County Superintendent of Schools Dewey Moye and school social worker Joni McElwaney. (Staff photo/MATT AIKEN)
