Two teenagers arrested in robbery of San Francisco TV reporter - Aliyah Christian

    A San Francisco television reporter, Jeff Bush, was robbed while working on a story on Friday in the Bayview district, a high-crime area. While there, two men with guns demanded Bush's equipment. Bush immediately handed over his equipment and ran to take cover. Luckily, Bush had a security guard with him. The security guard was also armed and was able to shoot one of the robbers as they ran away.
   Later, Officers arrested two 19 year old men from San Francisco and charged them with robbery, weapons and conspiracy offenses. One of the men in the shooting was treated at a local hospital. Because of these types of robberies happening to journalists, their jobs send security guards with the reporters on assignments in high-crime areas. Bush was doing a follow-up story on a fatal car crash when the robbery happened.
   I am very glad to hear the men that attacked this innocent television report were caught. It is very scary to think that some people are willing to do such acts of violence to people for their equipment or to try and make money. Luckily these men where not seriously hurt. I used to want to be a news reporter, this kind of stuff makes me rethink that.

Woman Arrested in Missouri for Allegedly Kidnapping Infant Nearly 13 Years Ago - Aliyah Christian

Nearly 13 years ago, a father came home from work to find that his baby was gone. He aparently knew the woman who took his child, but was never able to locate or find them. The 60 year old woman was found in Missouri and has been arrested in connection with an alleged child abduction case that took place in Florida. The woman, Sandy Hatte is related to the child's family and is accused of kidnapping the infant back in 2000.

Authorities were alerted, when a County school official became suspicious of Hatte when she tried to enroll the teenager in school. Police investigated teh case and found that the child had been missinf for more than a decade. Officials took custody of the child on Wednesday and reunited the child and the father. According to the sheriff's office, it was a good reunion. It appeared that the father and child hit it off pretty well.

Hatte is now being held on a $25,000 bond at the Davvies-Dekalb Regional Jail in Pattonsburg, Mo. She has been arrested for child abduction.

I believe this would have to be one of the worst things to have to go through as a parent. I am glad they have been reunited, but they are basically strangers now because this woman robbed them of their true relationship. I hope that the child will be able to bond with the father and they will be able to build a strong relationship, despite this terrible thing that happened.

Aliyah Christian - Period 1 - Rescuers issue stern warning to Colorado evacuees

Boulder Colorado and other towns in Colorado have been flooded. National Guard helicopters and truck convoys are trying to rescue and evacuate as many residents from the flooded areas as they can. Thousands of stranded people are happy to escape the Rocky Mountain areas. However, some people don’t want to leave their homes and possessions behind. The rescuers have issued a stern warning on Saturday, “Leave now or be prepared to endure weeks without electricity, running water and basic supplies.”

Authorities made it clear to the residents that they might not get another chance to leave for quite some time, but are not forcing anyone to leave if they don’t want to. More rain is in the forecast and authorities are trying to get to as many stranded people and their pets as they possibly can. They are currently using High Schools as make shift shelters for people to stay for now. Many homes have been completely swept away by the flash floods and others are covered in mud and water.

Four people have been confirmed dead since the floods began on Wednesday. Hundreds of others have not been heard from and may be stranded or injured. The flood zone has grown to nearly the size of Connecticut. Police expect to find more bodies as the full scope of damage becomes more clear. By midday Saturday, nearly 800 people and their pets had been evacuated.

 

I think this is a terribly sad situation. We can not help the weather sometimes, but to loose your entire home and belongs and love ones because of it is very troubling and sad. Your home is the one place you should be able to feel safe, and some of these victims no longer have a home to go back to. For those that do, they are covered in mud and water and most likely ruined as well. I wish there was more I could do to help these poor people. I am grateful to the Red cross and other organizations that are able to assist when things such as this happens.
