The Lost Children of Rockdale County

In 1996 a syphilis outbreak among affluent middle and high students in Conyers, Georgia uncovered a secret web of sex, drugs, and teenaged angst few adults knew about. The first reports of syphilis came in the spring of 1996, and they were granted minimal coverage in the media. According to one of the earliest stories on this phenomenon, upwards of 20 cases of syphilis were contracted by teenagers in Conyers and in surrounding Rockdale County between October 1995 and March 1996. Later reports found that 17 teenagers tested positive for syphilis, and over 200 were treated for exposure to syphilis.
