LILBURN | Home of meth fire & explosion still standing one year later
Feb 27, 2012 at 3:34 PM

LILBURN, Ga. (WXIA) -- It's been a little over a year since police say a massive meth lab explosion destroyed a Lilburn home and killed three young children inside. Now the house is boarded up in front of the Spring Mill neighborhood, and neighbors get a daily reminder of the tragedy each time...more they drive home.

Several residents have lived there since the neighborhood was built several decades ago, and they're trying to find a solution for the eyesore at the front of their street. So far they've pitched in to mow the grass and clear the yard of fallen tree branches. As they've watched their property values fall, they've remained in touch with the county about what to do next.

"It seems a little hopeless," said 15-year resident Donna Sowell. "Personally I'd rather see the whole thing torn down so that somebody can build a new one to get rid of the bad reminder."

Code enforcement officers have cited the home nine times, and neither the landowner nor the

LILBURN | Caylee Anthony's Law introduced to Ga.
Feb 15, 2012 at 12:22 PM

ATLANTA -- A state representative is asking for Georgia to consider adopting Caylee Anthony's Law.

Rep. B.J. Pak (R-Lilburn) introduced the legislation, known as House Bill 974, during a press conference Wednesday.

Caylee Anthony's Law requires a parent or guardian to report...more the disappearance or death of a child in a timely manner.

"Many, including myself, were outraged by the outcome of Casey Anthony's trial," Rep. Pak said in a statement. "We felt that justice was never served for the death of Caylee. We have reviewed Georgia's laws and determined that HB 974 is needed to avoid such incidents of injustice."

The proposed bill includes two new measures. The first would require a parent of guardian of a child under age 13 to maintain constant contact with the child, and to report him or her missing after an 18-hour period with no contact. Parents who break this law could spend one to 10 years in prison.

The second measure requires a
