Relocating at risk kids to rural Georgia
Arc-Lite, there are a couple of problems with relocating at risk youth to rural Georgia:
1. Creepy Banjo People. (At least in North Georgia). Valdosta, Folkston, etc., I can handle. But, North Georgia kind of creeps me out. It's Hollywood's fault. But, you won't catch me on any canoe trips...
2. Relocating an at risk youth from Atlanta to Plains might not be far enough. They are still within car or Greyhound ride range of their bad influences. That's why they need to go far, far, away. Rural Georgia could take at risk kids from Idaho or California. Plus, if Georgians send at risk youth to the farms so they can pick cotton, people from New York would say really bad things about us. Idaho doesn't have that stigma.
