Parents your teen needs to learn that ignorance is no defense in Georgia.


DID YOU KNOW that a person under 21 years old can be charged with driving under the influence (DUI) if the person’s alcohol concentration is .02 grams or higher?

For most people under 21 years old, drinking one beer or one glass of wine or one mixed drink will cause their alcohol concentration to be .02 grams or higher. There is no “safe” amount to drink and still be able to drive without impairment.

DID YOU KNOW that when you wake up on your 17th birthday, you are an adult under Georgia’s criminal laws?

DID YOU KNOW that if you have a fake ID with a government logo, you can be charged with a felony?

DID YOU KNOW that if you give a prescription drug to a friend, you can both be charged with a crime?

DID YOU KNOW that you can be charged with statutory rape regardless of whether you are a girl or a boy?

Author J. Tom Morgan will be coming to All Saints Catholic Church, this Sunday, September 28, 7pm to speak on his latest book, “Ignorance is No Defense”, which explains Georgia Laws to teenagers in easy to understand language. He is a nationally recognized expert on the prosecution of crimes against children and served as District Attorney of DeKalb County Georgia for 12 years. He has also dedicated his career to child advocacy.

Open to the Public and every Dunwoody teen should be encouraged to attend.
