Break 1: M.O.G.



STORY 1:  Former Gwinnett Teacher Arrested and Charged with 108 Counts of Child Sexual Exploitation

Blake Lawrence Edwards, a 32-year-old former teacher at Gwinnett's Mountain View High School, was arrested in Hall County on Friday for possessing and sharing child sexual abuse material (CSAM). Edwards faces 108 counts of sexual exploitation of a minor, including charges for publishing and possessing CSAM. Authorities first noted his illegal online activity in March, leading to a search warrant and the seizure of two external hard drives in May. Edwards, who taught at Mountain View for less than a year, resigned shortly after the search. There is no evidence the CSAM was created locally.

STORY 2:Celebrating 30 Years —Kidsignments Returns This Week

Kidsignments, a major child and teen consignment sale, returns to the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds this week, celebrating its 30th anniversary. Founded in 1994 by Jeri Lynn, the event began as a way to pass on children’s clothes and has expanded to include maternity, junior, and young men’s clothing. Featuring gently used items from up to 1,500 families, Kidsignments offers a vast selection of clothing, toys, baby equipment, and more over 30,000 square feet. The event runs Monday through Saturday, with free admission and parking. For details, visit kidsignments.com.

STORY 3:ARRESTED: Snellville Man Allegedly Shown Hitting a Child in Viral Video

Gwinnett County police arrested 44-year-old James Collins from Snellville after a viral video showed him hitting a 3-year-old child in a grocery store parking lot. Collins was charged with cruelty to children in the first degree and is held in Gwinnett County Jail. The video, widely shared online, led police to verify the incident through surveillance footage at a Kroger store and arrest Collins at his home. The child, who sustained minor injuries, is under the care of family members, and the Department of Family and Child Services have been notified.

Break 3: INGLES 8

STORY 5:  Norcross Grad Dearica Hamby Sues WNBA, Aces over Pregnancy Discrimination

Los Angeles Sparks forward Dearica Hamby has filed a federal lawsuit against her former team, the Las Vegas Aces, and the WNBA, alleging workplace discrimination and retaliation related to her pregnancy. Hamby claims Aces coach Becky Hammon implied the team believed she might get pregnant again and that her pregnancy influenced her trade to the Sparks in January 2023. Hamby also accuses the WNBA of inadequately investigating her complaint and not renewing her marketing contract. The Aces have not commented on the lawsuit, while Hammon denied mistreating Hamby. The WNBA is reviewing the complaint.

STORY 6:  Teen Hit By Train While Walking Near Tracks In Duluth

A 15-year-old boy was struck by a train in Duluth on Thursday afternoon and is in critical but stable condition at a local hospital. The incident occurred around 5:20 p.m. near Main St. and Brock Rd. The train’s operator attempted to stop and sounded the horn, but the boy, who was walking along the tracks, was clipped by the train. The incident was captured on a business's security camera. The boy’s name has not been released due to his minor status.
