That same review of city agency found problems and policies that were in place that were not followed. Bruce johnson spent the whole day going over those reports. Yeah, absolutely right. This is a copy of the report. We got it late yesterday. Not enough time to look at everything here and get some intelligent questions out. They say they couldnt have done anything for relisha rudd, but there are some things that suggest they can help other young people. City agency said its a parents responsibility to protect the child. Nobody is going to disagree with that, but there are policies and guidelines that city agencies required to follow and some of that wasnt done, according to this report. So the people involved in our review team who spent many years working in this field view this case as an incredibly unusual one. An amber alert was issued for 8yearold, relisha rudd, after a social worker at her school went to the family shelter on march 19 at d. C. General hospital. He discovered the child was not there and not out sick and in the care of a socalled doctor called tatum. As School Officials say her mother had claimed, after nearly a month of unexplained absences. Heres the mother yesterday. If she missed them in school, why didnt you call our phone . Thats the requirement. It is required for the automatic system to call the parents. D. C. School sources said thats not true. The mother, young, deliberately misled them. And the review by the Mayors Office agrees, but adds that city policy states School Officials should have notified child and Family Services after ten days of no shows, not nearly a month later. The report recommends the schools report in strict compliance with the law. The report found that re relisha rudd and her siblings were missing 50 of the time. Also more caseworkers. The review found that some Agency Workers suspected or knew of cases of child abuse, neglect, or concerns about safety, but failed to report the instances. It also revealed that khalil tatum, a convicted felon was not prohibited from working at the shelter as a janitor and sad members were not required to report concerns about his having unusual access to relisha rudd and her family. The difference in this case of actions that a family took that the government had no control over and no knowledge of no ability to prevent made this really different. This review is recommending changes, would not have made a difference in relishas case. A nightly check be done to account for all of the children in the shelter hospital. Because the review also concludes that d. C. General family shelter, no place to raise children. When im sure everyone would agree. A shelter is not the place you want to be to raise children. Those people are desperate. Lets talk about whether or not there are any other cases like this. They say no. They say this was an ano anomaly. This was different. The family withheld information. No other case. Thank you, bruce johnson. The 8yearold whose story went viral after being suspended for shaping a pop tart into a gun is back in the news today. The Maryland School board is deliberating whether to cave into pressure to undue the suspension or stick by its superintendent and the principal involved. Scott broom is in annapolis where the issue spiraled way beyond what happened in the classroom. Back when this happened, the whole incident took on a circus atmosphere. Josh welsh making it to network television. And even being given a lifetime membership to the nra. By the local Republican Party here. If were going to keep pursuing this the familys lawyer, robin fickeer insisted this is a case of Political Correctness run a muck. The only reason he was suspended because he mentioned the word gun and said his pop tart looked like a gun. But the Anne Arundel County School System insisted all along that the issue is not pop tarts and guns. Its that the incident at the Park Elementary School where josh was suspended after shaping a pastry into a gun and pointing it at other kids was the last straw. After months of disruptive and threatening behavior, while his parents rejected offers for counseling, adhd assessments and special ed. At a suspension appeal hearing that the school board refused to let us record on video, School System lawyer, lori pritcher said in the months leading up, josh threatened other kids, waved a desk in the air, punched a classmate. 20 incidents in all, including three where the classroom had to be cleared. Bob mosher is a spokesperson for the School System. On the part of a student and the lengths to which the school has gone to to try to support that student before arriving at this decision. Ficker who was sharply criticized says if he loses the appeal, hell go to marylands highest court. The Anne Arundel County School System needs to learn how to deal with 7yearolds within the School System. Rather than excommunicating them to their home. And what about josh . Well, he is a fourth grader now in another School Getting good grades, ficker says, and promising never, ever, to shape a pop tart into a gun again. In annapolis, scott broom, wusa9. The Anne Arundel County school board has not revealed a time line for when they will decide the case. Derek. Right now, that jury has been locked behind closed doors for a couple days now, deciding the fate of former Virginia Governor and his wife, maureen. We do not have a verdict yet. They have five weeks of testimony and a whole lot of exhibits to go through as they continue to deliberate. Peggy fox has been covering this trial from the first. She joins us live from the richmond courtroom. Peggy. Reporter well, derek, moments ago, we saw both defendants separately walking back with members of family back to the courthouse to find out what is up with the jury. After 12 hours now of deliberations, we still havent heard. And one of the most unusual things is that we havent even heard they have a question. What does that mean . Does it favor the prosecution . Does it favor the defense . No one really knows. New every morning and i wake up every day filled with hope. As he has for every day of this trial, Bob Mcdonnell spoke a few words. As good as it gets. His wife, maureen, as usual, is silent. The magnitude of the coming decision is ever present on this second day of deliberations. Governor, have you had the support from the supporters in the Republican Party, people you have known for many years. Republican and democrats. My Democrat Friends have been great and i appreciate it. Thank you. The mcdonnells are accuse asked of taking 177,000 in loans and gifts from Jonnie Williams in exchange for lending him the prestige of the Governors Office and promoting his companys product, anatabloc. Mr. Williams is not going to comment on anything. No comment, back off. You are all being ridiculous. The jury is weighing the testimony versus the testimony of Bob Mcdonnell. Maureen did not testify. A fact the jury was told must not be di counts 1 through 11 deal with public corruption and conspiracy. If the jury finds bob not guilty on those 11 counts, it must also find maureen not guilty. According to defense attorneys. Count 12 charges Bob Mcdonnell with bank fraud and count 13 charges both with bank fraud. Count 14 charges Maureen Mcdonnell with obstruction for returning the dresses to Jonnie Williams with a note. Let me through. Come on. A note the businessman calls a fabrication. Now given a large amount of circumstantial evidence and reasonable doubt raised, some Court Observers say the most likely outcome is a hung jury. Might be reminiscent of the federal corruption trial of rod blag gee blagevich. A second jury took ten days to reach a guilty verdict. We are only on day two. Tomorrow, the jury is back again. We still havent heard whether they are done for the night. Well come back at 6 00 and let you know the outcome. Peggy fox , reporting live. Of course, as peggy mentioned, if that verdict comes down, its going to be on air, online, wusa9. Com. Police looking for a man who tried to sexually assault a woman at knife point.

By 4 00, nothing terribly heavy doing on in the immediate metro area, but some showers and thunderstorms back to the west, out toward petersburg and down to the south toward culpeper and points south.

Were looking at actually a front going through earlier. Maybe a morning shower on sunday, looks nice for the nats and ravens and cooler next week. Temperatures in the low 80s. Thank you, top. Tonight, two developments in two racially charged shootings. Both involving a white man shooting an unarmed black teen. First in missouri where a judge is considering whether to grant media requests to release any possible juvenile criminal records of Michael Brown. You may know, he is the young man shot by a Police Officer last month in ferguson. Police say the 18yearold had no adult criminal record. But in missouri, juvenile records are sealed. Now to detroit where a judge has sentenced a man to at least 17 years in prison for shooting a teenager on his front porch. Theodore opened fire with a shotgun on 19yearold, mcbride. Now, she had been drinking when she crashed her car last november. She banged on his door looking for help. He thought someone was breaking into his home, he was convicted of seconddegree murder. Joan rivers has been moved out of intensive care according to her daughter. Her mom is now in a private room where she is resting comfortably. The 81yearold comedian went into respiratory arrest while 6 undergoing a vocal cord procedure. No more smokes at cvs. What is behind this decision in a little bit. And right after the break, a brandnew data base. So you can get the latest information on recalls and used cars. And as we head into break. Lets take a look at gas prices that are driving you crazy. In arlington, you can get a great deal at a bp at 4625 columbia pike. Keep that in mind. You can fill up for 3. 30 a gallon. It will cost you 19 cents more. 3. 49 to fill up at did you know one in four recalled cars never get the needed fix because the owners dont even know about that recall . The national Highway Traffic Safety Administration has a brandnew site to help people find out about such things and as julie watts tells us, the information could protect folks who are shopping for a used car as well. Do you know if your car has been recalled . No. No. Well, considering about one out of every five cars in the u. S. Has been recalled, more cars this year than ever before, odds are you are either driving one or driving alongside one. Would you like us to check for you . Yes, please. Checking for recalls is now much easier thanks to the new data base. Simply enter your vin and it lists any open recalls for your vehicle. But while Safety Advocates call the data base a great tool, they are concerned it may shift on to the consumers and away from the used car dealers who continue to knowingly sell recalled cars. We are concerned that dealers are going to try to say, well now anyone can access this so its up to you to find out. Unlike most other consumer products, which cant be sold once recalled, theres no law preventing used car dealers from selling you a recalled car that hasnt been fixed. Its scary if you have a child to think about that. And true to the stats, two of the five car owners we spoke with did have recalls. Leading many to say the new data base will definitely be a part of their next used car purchase. Julie watts for cbs news, San Francisco. Now to get to that site, go to safecar. Gov, click on the search for recalls tack. You can find recall information on your car manufactures website. All right, coming up later, butt injections gone bad. The ugly price women are paying right here in the d. Z c. Area. And trending now, a statutory rape victim is ordered to pay Child Support. A teacher says she was fired for getting pregnant, and ceelo green apologized for really bizarre comments on twitter. I dont know what he was talking about. You are watching 9news at 5 00 live from broadcast house in d. C. Its weird. What the heck was well, not that kind of fresh. On the freshness of our chicken. But i can guarantee the freshness of our chicken because we go beyond what the usda requires. With extra inspections in American Family owned farms, refrigerated trucks that deliver daily and everywhere in between. Thats what it takes to bring your family a fresh tasting chicken. Perdue. We believe in a better chicken. This one is trending now on facebook and wusa9. Com. This guy is a victim of statutory rape, but he has to pay Child Support . This is really crazy. Nick had sex with a 20yearold woman when he was just 14. He is now 24. So follow me here. He did not even know he had a daughter until he was served with Child Support papers two years ago. He says the woman took advantage of him. He did not press charges. Now the state is garnishing his wages to 380 a month until he repays the 15,000 he owes. Now i was looking into this story because i was perplexed. She has some nerve. I think so. But could he file charges . Its the statute of limitations. Thats the thing. In arizona, it might have passed. Because i dont know in his particular circumstance. Thats why we talk about it. Heres another story getting a lot of attention on our wusa9 facebook page. Former chemistry teacher was fired from a catholic all girl school in detroit because her pregnancy is nontraditional. Barbra webb is openly gay, but her visible pregnancy led to her being fired. The school didnt give her a reason, didnt ask how she got pregnant, but previous conversations with some of her administrators made it clear that officials had concerns with her lifestyle. U. S. Today entertainment reporter, arian thompson, thanks for joining us. Good to see you. Im privileged to be here. How happy are you . I know. Shes newly engaged, too. Congratulations. This is quite some bling, by the way. You are blinding us right now. Hard for me to see. Are you hearing people are calling 911 because facebook is down . What . Really . Okay, can i just say america, what is wrong with people . Merica, what is wrong with people . People are calling 911 . The sad part is, i heard people call 911, i didnt get enough fries, my pizza is late. Why . If twitter is down, you call 911, you get over quickly. Are these comments made from ceelo green. What was he thinking . What was going through his mind . He tweeted that rape can only happen if a person is conscious. Really . He means in terms of the victim. So this is a total duh moment for a celebrity. I ask, where are your people . Your publicist, to shut you up. This is something that is insensitive. He had a court case related to an allegation that he had raped a woman last year. And so he goes on twitter and makes these comments. This is one of the dumbest things that ive ever seen a celebrity do. And its offensive, obviously. At the center of the case is the fact that this woman was slipped ecstasy and she had no idea and now theres thing about him giving her ecstasy. He also said that he does not feel this way and he realizes the comments are insensitive. Is he tweeting this . Its hard for me to tell. In his apology, he said, i apologize for the tweet attributed to me. That was bizarre. It was really bizarre. So i dont understand why he would use that language and the funny thing is, when the original tweets came out, he deleted them, but when they were out, they were using all this aggrievuation and slang, so you definitely typed those tweets. And then when you come back for the apology, you are very proper. Attributed to me. Its like, this is your twitter account and yes, you have an entourage of people, but you have to do better, you are too famous for this. I wonder if folks want attention, even if it is unwanted attention. This is a really horrible way to get attention. Horrible. We move on to phil robertson, because we are told he has some controversial ideas on how to solve the isis situations. Duck dynasty, could they go come on. So he says that the isis crisis, which is very, very serious, he says that the solution to that is to just convert them or kill them. Which is how inflammatory is that and how sort of insane is that to say . There are a lot of people that say that. He is famous and saying this. He has tons of fans and people who said a lot of other things, too. But he would like to sit down with them, he thinks they need a come to jesus moment. Literally come to jesus moment. Thats what he wants to happen. This is not the first time he said something controversial and sort of insensitive. They are killing people who want converting to islam. His show, still incredibly popular on a and e. We havent had a chance, by the way, to talk about brad pitt, Angelina Jolie and her dress, which i know you have some thoughts about. Yes. Now okay, dont get me wrong. I love brad and angelina. Im super excited about this wedding. This is the wedding of a lifetime in hollywood, but that dress and that veil. Im like, angelina, girl, why . Do you have any pictures of it . It was on the cover of people magazine. I dont know if we have any images. She had a dress custom designed and her veil was also custom. She had the designer transpose doodles and drawings that their six children had done that they sewed on to the veil. It has 60 or so, maybe 50 and it just looks sort of elementary to me. I dont mean that as a pun. These are kids. But it looks like something that someone who is really young and not with a lot of style would do. Its a sweet gesture. She wasnt going for style. And the kids were so involved in the wedding. They wanted to make it a Family Affair so it wasnt about angelina and brad or the paparazzi or us. But the execution did not quite go well. You dont want to do that for your Wedding Dress . I would not be putting appliques on my veil. I learned a new word today, appliques. The kids wrote the vows and that is adorable. Do we know what they are . Its all secret. A woman who wore the blood of her exhusband. I shouldnt be surprised. All right, always good to see you. Thanks for coming. Of course. Heres our story that a lot of people are talking about. This mexican woman claims she celebrated her 127th birth date over the weekend. She has a reissued birth certificate. August 31, 1887. Her grandson says the original document was burned during the mexican revolution. She spent most of her special day sleeping. Authorities on these types of issues say a woman from france has the longest documented life span at 122 years old. You know you are old when your dontcumes were burned in the mexican revolution. No doubt. And some may see squirrels as backyard nuisances. This little fella is cute. Hes a tiny squirrel being rehabilitated in d. C. A worker treated the guy with a syringe. What happened to him . I dont know. I have never seen anything like that. I havent either, very cool. When we see topper shutt on the weather terrace with the latest forecast. I tell you that, much quieter today. Well talk about the pollen reading. Things are going to change. Were going to go through a different pollen season. Low for frees. Now the weeds are going to become the main factor. Weeds are high and mold spores are high as well. Well talk about the possibility of a yellow alert on friday and look ahead to the weekend. Cvs pulls Tobacco Products earlier than expected. Ill have the details coming up. In tonights health alert, cvs is removing Tobacco Products a month earlier than planned. Duncan has more from new york. Cvs is officially extinguishing cigarettes and cigars. Removing all Tobacco Products from the store shelves nearly a month ahead of schedule. One of the things we really are hoping is that with this announcement, well be able to really impact the number of people who smoke. The Company Released add study from boston and San Francisco where pharmacies are not allowed to sell tobacco. It show as 13 drop in sales after the bans took effect. What it says is, if others are willing to follow, we can make a big impact on smoking. Many Health Organizations are praising cvs for the move. Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death in the u. S. The company is also kicking off a campaign to help people quit smoking. They are adding nicotine gum and other products where tobacco used to be. We know these medications work and we know that counseling also helps. And we know that setting a quit date and following through on your quit date is one of the most important things you can do. Coaching is also available to keep people on track and give up tobacco for good, like cvs did. Cbs news, new york. Times have changed. Smokers can double or triple their chances by getting counseling, using medication, or both. How close are those Washington Nationals to locking up a spot in the playoffs . Were going to break down the math. Thats coming your way in tonights inside pitch. And right after the break, why more women are turning to the black market for illegal butt injections. Well have the story. D; well, its not exactly the face that launched the thousand ships, but Kim Kardashian did manage to go viral with photographs of her hind parts and she actually launched a new term. As in, buttselfie. A lot of people are going for that look and it doesnt end that well. Illegal black market injections to increase the size of their booties. As Andrea Mccarren explains, some are suffering dire consequences. Women are choosing these injections over implants because of cost and convenience. Initially, theres very little recovery time. And the price is usually a couple hundred dollars. As opposed to as much as 10,000 for implants. Its like a wardrobe. Just one of those things you do. I dont wear a suit and a tie. Thats what i wear to work. Iarahs 81 years old and wanted to boost the size of her behind. So she turned to an option cheaper than implants and illegal silicone injections. If youre in a club with 1 00 women, well say 80 . 80 wothem done. Its like, you know, you have a competitive edge. But her injections went bad. And she is not alone. Certainly in the last six months, im seeing a brash of people who have these injections done who are coming back with problems. Not only are the silicon injections illegal, they are often mixed with materials that can create horrible, disfiguring reactions. The skin, this dark skin feels like leather. Like a leather purse. We heard stories of motor oil being mixed with them. We heard the flat, hydrogel. These are substances that go to the kidneys and destroy them. Go to the liver and destroy them. They can lead to masses of silicone that have hardened. So firm the doctor must work to coven soften the tissue and remove it. You couldnt get a knife through it. Thats how hard it is. Most of these are done under ground. Even more alarming, these black market injections are being done at pumping parties. Held in motel rooms, private homes, and spas. A few of my girlfriends and i ard about this person. So we just went together, got a little hotel room, and had a lits little girls night. Its hard to get into these parties. You have to be invited by someone who had injections done before. We spotted this ad on craigslist and asked for more information. Minutes later, we received a price list from an injector in buffalo, new york. Claiming to work with lots of girls from d. C. This person promised results would be immediate and permanent and was even willing to come to d. C. For a 300 travel fee. I dont suggest it, i guess the main reason is you never really know who is doing it or what they are injecting. Its actually scary. Honestly, its scary. Its scary because it is extremely dangerous. One of doctors patients traveled all the way to south america for butt implants. But the surgeon there put in breast implants instead. Andrea mccarren, wusa9. Baltimore, atlanta, and new york are currently considered hubs for getting those illegal injections and some have even led to serious illness or death. A lot of doctors shy away from dealing with the aftermath of injections because reversing these toxic shots is nothing you can learn in school. Always watching, always tracking. Wusa9s first alert weather. All right, sounds like it is quiet so far. Quiet tonight, a little bit of action tomorrow and a yellow alert on friday. Already yellow alert on saturday. You have plans on saturday, might want to push to sunday. Lets start with a live look outside. High temperature 89. Average high 84. Still 86, but the good news, relative humidity 36 . Thats much improved. Remember our dew points yesterday in the mid 70s. At least they are in the mid 60s. Winds are calm. So, a bit cooler tonight. I know we are slicing hairs. Muggy downtown. Seasonally hot the rest of the week. Isolated afternoon storms tomorrow, particularly west of town. Especially along i81 and back into the mountains. Yellow alert is possible for friday for thunderstorms and showers. Some could be hefty for your ride home. All right, 10 00 tonight, 8 00 downtown. 80 downtown. 76 in leesburg. Still in the low to mid 70s across the board. By morning, some 60s do appear. Upper 60s in gaithersburg and leesburg and the computer is hanging on to the shower. I think thats going to go away. I would not worry about showers in the morning. In the afternoon, yes. 73 by 8 00. And then upper 60s in the suburbs, which is comfortable and then by 1 00, a lot of showers breaking out. I think these may be too far east, but nonetheless, heaviest activity will by and large be to the west of us. I81 and west into the mountains. That includes winchester. Showers and thunderstorms stay well south and west of us. 87 by 6 00. So, still kind of toasty tomorrow. 84 in leesburg and 84 also in gaithersburg. By 8 00, were in the low 80s and by 9 00, a couple showers possible. I think most of the showers will stay to the south of us and these showers, i do agree with, they are going to be hefty as we get into tomorrow night. For us, partly cloudy, a bit cooler. Some patchy fog late. Low temperatures to 72. I would grab your shades. 66 to 84. By afternoon, partly cloudy and hot. Isolated thunderstorms mainly west. Highs 86 to 90. Looking at that future cast, you might want to bring an umbrella if you are walking to work tomorrow. Certainly oakland, youll need an umbrella. 84 in cumberland. Showers there as well. Low to mid 80s winchester. 90 in culpeper, but well keep warrenton and manassas and reston in if the upper 80s. 89 downtown. 88 in gaithersburg and rockville. Only 84 in annapolis.

And that is good news for bryce. In the first half of the season, got on base just 32 of the time. But, in the second half of the season, he has gotten on base a whopping 41 of the time. Extrapolate that over the full course of the season and he would be number one in the major leagues in getting on base. Something very important for leadoff hitters. And im back to this magic number. Take 163 minus any number, divide it by 2 squared, plus 8, equals mc to the 12th. I sure do love this math stuff. It sure is fun. The math is good, the oregon music that was a good look.
