The Newton Citizen Poll is a compilation of opinions submitted by readers. They do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the Citizen newspapers.

Please remember that the Citizen Poll is not a forum for comments either for or in opposition to candidates seeking elective office."My husband and I were appalled to read that a 3-year-old child was found walking down the road late Wednesday night! Then when reading the article further we saw that the child was returned to the home when DFCS was called by Porterdale police ... Citizens of Newton County! What are we allowing to happen to our children if DFCS returns children to the home before a complete investigation is conducted. This child deserves more from Newton County. It sickens me to think that the next possible headline is 3-year-old child hit by car on Crowell Road. Think about it."
