Of an young female and hurt her socially and sexually. He had the illest of intentions when he struck up a information with the girls on the messages app kik. He used the information on an 11yearold girl and then threatened her into sending him nude pictures of yourself. He was saying im going to postyour address on line and tell people to go over to your to you. Im going to beg people to rape you and pushing her to send me a live or immediate photo, and even told the girl he would burn her house down.

And anyone who thinks he has targeted other children, are asking to call will law enforcement, and its also a reminder for parents to check their kids Media Presence and texts. And bottoms away, that was Hillary Clintons strategy as the candidates candidates squared off in another debate. Was a subdued and polite a, and one of the first topics was the africanamericans. We have to demilitarize our Police Departments and make sure that legal Police Departments look like the communities they serve in their diversity. Young people, particularly young men are pushed out of school early, are denied Employment Opportunities so when we talk about criminal Justice Reform and ending the era of mass incarceration, we also have to talk about jobs and education and other ways of helping communities do better. The polling number really favor Hillary Clinton when it comes to africanamerican voters but the candidates also courted promising comprehensive immigration reform. We should be deporting criminals and not hardworking immigrant family who is are keeping economies going in many places in our communities. We have to stand up to the trumps of the world who are trying to divide us up. What we have to do right now is bring our people together and understand that we must provide a path toward citizenship for 11 million undocumented people. Both disagreed with a recent series of raids authorized by president obama to deport people from Central America who had entered the country illegally. Those candidates next contest is in eight days in nevada where there has been very little polling. Sanders has a big team on the ground there but that state is really up for grabs. And now on theep he is pursuing a quest to win the florida primary, and evan i imagine you are hearing a mixed bag out there. I am, and they certainly do have mixed opinions. Depends on who you ask. Some are ready to protest and others are ready to rock, hoping that tomorrow afternoon they will be seeing the next president of the United States and of course its all about florida, florida, florida, florida, the big thing is winning the winnertakeall delegates. The first winnertakeall state and although there will are more than a dozen states voting between now and midmarch, florida promises the biggest prize. For trump a win here could be a major blow to bush and cruz. I do not agree with his statements and i am an ally for everybody that he is attacking. If he does become the president i can say that, yeah, i saw him as usf which is cool. Fox 13 Political EditorCraig Patrick says one thing we may see is a more restrained trump. Yes, he is still going to go on the attack but may do so without the colorful, many say vulgar language we saw last week. There are many evangelicals here that may be oa offended by his language, and im told there are more tickets being given out than seats and so this is a first come first served basis, and if you are not pleased with not being able to get in . Get here early. We are also following this bird was found shot in a st. Pete neighborhood. This is a turkey vulture and it has a bullet in one of its wings. What is alarming, bird rescuers say is this is the sixth bird shot in this neighborhood. You are right, and after speaking with tampa bay raptor rescue, they say someone is targeting these large endangered birds and possibly using them as target practice. That turkey vulture was so injured it could no longer fly and was obviously in pain. It had to be put down. This is the sixth bird sound shot within a onemile radius. Last july, two ospreys were spotted with wounds to their herron was shot. Rescuers say each time the attacks seem to be getting worse. It started with pull lets and bullets and these have large bullets or slugs and so we are concerns about these shootings over the past several years. Raptor rescue is offering a 1500 reward for any information that leads to an arrest and they are hoping this latest shooting will get the attention of florida fish and wildlife and local authorities to find these culprits. The birds are protected by the Migratory Bird treaty act and so shooting them is actually a federal offense. Sure hope they fiepped who is find who is doing that. And police are investigating Francis Tucker elementary. Police spent the morning combing the grounds after a bullet went through that building, and a lot more needs to be done to keep School Campuses safe we protect the seaports and airports far better than the surrounding neighborhoods that our kids live in and where they attend school.
