Gov. Nathan Deal is scheduled to attend a graduation Thursday for 10 parents who completed Cobb's Family Dependency Treatment Court, an alternative court for parents with addictions who are pregnant or have small children and ran afoul of the law. The ceremony is at 5 p.m. at First Baptist Church, 148 Church St., Marietta.
The court, which aims to hold parents accountable and keep them off drugs, currently has 42 participants with 89 children. The graduates also completed Celebrating Families, a federally-funded 16-week therapy program.
