Parents Angry Over Fake Graduation Tickets

Faced with angry parents, Cobb County school officials say they will examine graduation tickets to determine how many are fake. At least 100 people, with legitimate tickets, say they were turned away from South Cobb High School's graduation ceremony because there wasn't enough space for everyone. The ceremony Saturday was held at Roswell Street Baptist Church in Marietta. Recovering from surgery, Regina Howard says she was among those turned away and missed her son's graduation. Gabriella Calderon was among the graduates who got their diplomas with a dose of disappointment and some tears. She thought her mother would see her graduate, but she also was not seated.
