This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

I recently requested the Georgia Gazette remove my teens mugshots from their website because the charges were dismissed. We followed the protocol for requesting removal of his private information according the GA law. About 2-3 weeks later, I received notice from the Georgia Gazette that the information was removed and that if the information continued to be indexed by google after 2 weeks, to contact them.

My teens information continues to show up on google search under the Georgia Gazette and I reached out to them in email asking to remove the information from being pulled up. Although I was very frustrated in general because I believe companies like this should never be allowed to post arrest information or arrest mugshots particularly of minors and especially when cases have been dismissed. It is irresponsible and shows a complete lack or respect for privacy. The responder from the Georgia Gazette was very immature and responded that "normally he would, but no thanks"...in other words, he/she normally would remove the content but in my case, they chose not to. This is not only upsetting but displays a complete disregard for my teens privacy and or for human life. It is sad that whoever the responder was took my email so personal that they made it clear they refused to do what they normally would because they didn't like the tone of my email... I am a parent... a frustrated and concerned one, and it is systems like this that truly makes it hard to have normalcy in a world where nothing is private anymore. Disgusting and unprofessional behavior on the part of the person responding to my emails. He/She even sent an "lol" as if they find this entire situation funny... Disgusting!...

Desired outcome: The Georgia Gazette to remove all indexing as they normally would. They are the reason my teens information is being indexed to begin with so it is the least they should do.
