Did you know that in 2016

"Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta has been holding evidence of more than 200 suspected sexual assaults on children, sometimes for years, that has never been analyzed by authorities for DNA matches, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. The hospital group says police neglected to pick up the so-called “rape kits” despite repeated notifications.

The 211 exams were performed on children ranging from 1 to 18 years old who went to Children’s three hospitals — Scottish Rite, Egleston and Hughes Spalding — from across North Georgia, the GBI said.

The oldest case is of a 13-year-old girl who who underwent the invasive rape exam in 2006. Now the GBI and child-protection advocates are trying to come up with a way to approach these victims again, years after they were traumatized by their assaults and then by the hospital examinations that followed."
