MARIETTA — Nine incarcerated mothers at the Cobb Jail proudly received their diplomas on Tuesday, marking their successful completion of a comprehensive parenting course facilitated by the Cobb Sheriff's Office.

The Parenting 101 course covers a variety of important topics, including effective communication, child development, and the significance of nurturing bonds. In addition to enhancing their parenting abilities, the program also promotes personal growth and self-improvement among the participants.
Graduates expressed a sense of accomplishment and hope for the future, emphasizing the importance of being better parents upon their release.
