Steady winds gusting to 36 miles an hour, blowing embers sparking other fires down wind. Report said fire behavior was not expected based on local weather prediction. Thats being investigated by san jose state. In the hard hit town of middletown tonight, we heard this. My reaction is the same that it was. It was devastating regardless.

Youre looking at exclusive Surveillance Video showing one of the men caught in the act. This happened in the parking lot of the pittsburgh hampton inn. Thats where the former as superstar was staying. The two men didnt get very far. Managers spotted them while monitoring the hotel surveillance cameras. As for the 52yearold canseco, he was actually sympathetic. I saw the pictures of guys afterwards. I said poor guys, they look hungry, let them go.

Hes like can you please open the bathroom for me, can i get ice water, can you open it for me . A starbucks employee said half a dozen cops rushed in and tackled the man and has been arrested. Police are still searching for the other two. I was disgusted. I was upset. I was reviled. Parents of missing kids call a charitys fundraising tactics exploitation.

Raj 2shot h nbc bay area responds to a redwood city man whose son is missing. Hes concerned that an organization in florida is exploiting him and other parents. This stems from the collection jars you see at stores and restaurants with the pictures of missing kids. Consumer investigator chris chmura is stepping many. Chris . This is a story about generosity and spare change that adds up to seven figures. Its also about a charity that uses kids pictures without asking. He didnt choose this. You know . And thats thats the sad part. Reporter andonais is missing yet his father can tell you where he is. I think hes in the suburb of athens. Reporter greece. His mom whos greek took him to athens in 2010 and never came home. He just kept him there. Reporter so imagine georges surprise when he stopped at this palo alto gas station and saw the picture on a donation jar. My first reaction is to rip it out and, you know, take it with me. This is ridiculous. Reporter george had given his photo to the governmentbacked National Center for missing and exploited children. But not the group on the canister, child watch. Child watch is a charity that says it helps rescue missing children which is supposed to include free Investigative Services and poster distribution for families of missing kids. As well as money for travel expenses. Its based in a house near orlando, florida. By phone, founder don wood confirmed that child watch copied the photo in the national sense e center and put it on donation jars without asking. Why did you choose to use his picture without fihis fathers permission . Without his fathers permission, theres no reason. We chose a photo we thought would have potential for success. Reporter as in fundraising to make money . No, as in trying to find him. Reporter but child watch didnt take any additional steps to find him. How much money did youd get from child watch . None. How much did they investigate on your behalf . None. And how many posters they print with your sons picture on it to help find him . None. Reporter child watch eventually removed the know toe but only his photo. Are you using somebody elses photograph instead without their permission . Yes.

How much Investigative Services did they do for you . None. And how many posters did they print for you . None. Reporter Robert Lowery runs the official missing kids database. He says child watch might not be breaking the law, but it is clearly violating National Center policy. Its photos are for raising awareness like this, not raising money like this. Never for fundraising purposes. It would be wrong of us to do that. Any other use of that we find questionable. Reporter but thats exactly whats happening. Child watch is actually a web of charities. Called Crisis Relief Network. Tax filings show contributions of 3. 8 million the past 5 years. A lot of problems with the Crisis Relief Network. Reporter daniel heads Charity Watch which scrutinizes nonprofits. Hes concerned that crisis relief runs five charities from a home with just four people. Three of whom are in don woods family. He also red flags its tax return. For example, hundreds of thousands of dollars in fundraising expenses inluting telemarketers labeled awareness campaign. He cant decipher where donations actually go. I would strongly advise donors to not contribute to Crisis Relief Network. Reporter don wood insists it is sound. He put us in touch with two parents of missing kids, one received a couple grand, the other got 1,800. Charles wonders where the rest of the 3. 8 million went and how much of it don wood collected using his sons photo. He should absolutely stop, this is pure exploitation. Reporter one thing will stop. Midway through our investigation, crisis relief told us it will no longer use kids photos without permission. In hindsight now and after this situation, we will change our policy. Reporter however, it will continue collecting money. George says dont donate on an impulse. Do research. Nobody says you have to give right then and there. Reporter charles wants Law Enforcement to investigate Crisis Relief Network. Theyll see the exploitation for what it is. Reporter and stop it. Shut it down. Shut it down. Reporter in response to our questions, Crisis Relief Network downplayed its scale yet acknowledges placing 1,200 of the donations jars in three of the countrys most populated states.
