'I want my children back' | Behind the Investigation

Rachel Fuller’s 4-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son haven’t lived at her house in years. The last time Fuller saw them was February 2024, around the time her parental rights were terminated after she tested positive for methamphetamine.

An extensive Atlanta News First Investigation, Stolen Sobriety, uncovered numerous cases where children were removed from their parents after a failed drug test. The investigation has found that some of the state’s contracted labs to perform those tests have credibility issues.
