[edit] "The Lost Children of Rockdale County"
I'd never heard of this county (being from California and now Texas) until I just heard about PBS's 1999 documentary of the above name. It was a sensationalistic account of a teen-party scene where a group of "troubled" girls had sex with groups of white and black teen boys (separately) at homes and a motel, leading to a cluster of syphilis cases. Is this worth mentioning as a miscellaneous topic about the county? The documentary was a national phenomenon for a while (concerned parents and adults, including Dr. Phil, worrying about the teen sex craze, particularly oral sex); this tied in with the Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky oral-sex publicity. Did County leaders address this publicity black-eye? Has the documentary had any lasting effect on the county? Just wondering, as an outsider, whether this deserves a mention on the page.
