‼️⚠️NO KID. NO DNA. NO SHAME: Woman Accused of Running Child Support Scam on Ex-Boyfriend‼️ Authorities say a Coweta County woman allegedly took more than $7,000 from her ex-boyfriend by claiming he owed child support for a baby that was not his — and not even hers.

This story is unsettling and has many people reflecting on how words from the past can take on chilling meaning later. A tweet from 2021 posted by a Georgia man has resurfaced after he was reportedly shot and killed just days ago during an early-morning incident involving his girlfriend. What once may have been seen as bravado or exaggerated loyalty is now being reexamined in a very different light. According to reports, alcohol was involved, and an argument between the couple escalated into violence. Authorities have not classified the shooting as an accident, and the case remains under investigation. While no children were present at the time, the couple did share a child together, adding another layer of tragedy to an already devastating situation. The resurfaced tweet has sparked conversations online about toxic dynamics, warning signs in relationships, and how normalized violent language can mask deeper issues. Many are asking whether moments like these are cries for help that go unnoticed until it’s too late. What do you think — should we take language like this more seriously when we see it, or is it only clear in hindsight? #TrueCrimeTalk #GeorgiaNews #DomesticViolenceAwareness #WarningSigns #ViralDiscussion #RelationshipSafety #CrimeNews #Awareness

🚨 Georgia Worker Vanishes Without a Trace in One of the State’s Strangest Missing Person Cases On January 25, 2002, 20-year-old Christopher Thompkins disappeared while working a surveying job along a rural Georgia road. He was standing in line with three other crew members when one of them turned around — and Christopher was suddenly gone. His tools, water bottle, and one boot were left behind. The boot was found caught at the top of a barbed wire fence, almost as if he’d been lifted away mid-step. No footprints, struggle marks, or direction of travel were ever discovered. Search teams combed the surrounding woods and swamps, but Christopher was never found. More than two decades later, his disappearance remains one of Georgia’s most baffling mysteries. #ChaunceyDatGuy #GeorgiaNews #MissingPersons #UnsolvedMysteries #TrueCrime
