ISAAC RECOVERIES-PKG

Isaac continues to weaken, but his effects are still wreaking havoc on the

Gulf Coast.

Officials In Mississippi say residents within a mile of Lake Tangipahoa were ordered to evacuate after Isaac badly damaged a dam

. The dam is holding.for now.

SOT-

MISSISSIPPI OPERATIONS CENTER HAS INFORMED US IN THE PAST HOUR THAT THE DAM

IN QUESTION, STATE PARK, IS IN AN IMMINENT THREAT OF FAILURE.

If the dam fails, parts of Louisiana will flood. Louisiana governor, Bobby

Jindal says authorities are scrambling to prevent that from happening.

Jindal-SOT-

THEY ARE PLANNING A PLANNED BREACH OF THAT DAM TO AVOID, TO PREVENT THE DAM

FROM BREAKING.

Across the Gulf, Isaac's damage is extensive.

Tornadoes ripped through Alabama and Mississippi. This one in Gulfport, tore

a home from its foundation.

Nearly a million people in Louisiana are without power. Rising floodwaters

have left people racing to escape. In severely battered Plaquemines Parish,

search and rescue operations are still underway. The National Guard today

rescuing 30 people per hour.

This is what the ceiling looks like inside part of palm court plaza. The yellow, sagging ceiling the result of heavy water damage.

-lieutenant tony sizemore/ccpd-01:36:37:-"that's what she originally thought was that she had a leak and reported a significant amount of water damage."

But what the landlord thought was an accidental water leak, may have been "man made."

-sizemore-"she called a licensed contractor and low and behold there was some intentional damage. That was the opinion of the roofing contractor."

That roofing contractor is the same guy who installed the flat roof two years ago.

According to a police report, the roofer "determined that someone had deliberately cut two slices in the membrane of the flat roof."

-sizemore-"you have the physical scene where they have to check and ensure it was intentional damage."

FIRST ALERT FORECAST-WXWALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

BACK TO NORMAL

Our weather for the next several days is looking pretty good. We a looking a several days in a row of highs in the 90's, lows in the 70's and a couple of afternoon downpours or storms to track. According to the computer forecasts today, our chance for afternoon rain is actually a little lower than normal. That certainly doesn't mean that we will be dry and I do anticipate the afternoon showers to be isolated across southwest Florida through the weekend.

The tropics are active, but there is nothing pointing at Florida.

BULLYING IN SCHOOL-ON CAM

NOW TO A CASE OF BULLYING AT SCHOOL.

IT HAPPENED IN WASHINGTON STATE, BACK IN FEBRUARY - BUT THE STORY IS JUST COMING TO LIGHT NOW.

A YOUNG TEEN - IS DRAGGED AROUND HIS CLASSROOM - ALL WHILE THE TEACHER *WATCHES - AND AT ONE POINT, EVEN PARTICIPATES.

THE ABUSE - CAUGHT ON CELL PHONE VIDEO.

BULLYING IN SCHOOL-PKG

THE GRAINY VIDEO MAKES IT LOOK LIKE THESE ARE KIDS PICKING ON SOMEONE IN A DARK SECRET SPOT. BUT THIS HAPPENED INSIDE A GIG HARBOR CLASSMATE WITH A TEACHER IN VIEW OF IT ALL.

THE 13-YEAR-OLD BOY WHO WE'RE NOT NAMING-- HAD HIS SOCK PUT IN HIS MOUTH AND HAD HIS FEET WRITTEN ON BACK IN FEBRUARY DURING WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A TIME FOR STUDENTS TO IMPROVE THEIR READING SKILLS.

"I had no idea no idea at all"

HIS PARENTS WERE TOLD THEIR SON HAD BEEN BEATEN UP BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHY HE WAS SUDDENLY SCARED TO GO BACK TO CLASS.

WHEN THEY LEARNED STUDENTS VIDEOTAPED THE INCIDENT ON THEIR CELL PHONE THEY ASKED TO SEE THE VIDEOS.

"They kept telling us we can't see it because of privacy concerns with other kids. I said I'm trying to keep my son from committing suicide. What's going on here?"

THEY WERE SHOCKED TO SEE WHAT THE CLASSMATES DID TO THEIR SON BUT THEY WERE ANGERED TO LEARN THE TEACHER PARTICIPATED IN IT.

IN ONE CLIP JOHN ROSI WEARING THE YELLOW SHIRT. THREATENS TO SIT ON THE BOY SAYING

NATS

"I'm feeling a little gassy."

"I'm feeling a little gassy."

AND WHEN THEIR SON APPROACHES THE TEACHER AND PICKS A FIGHT ADMITTEDLY JOKINGLY THE TEACHER PLAYFULLY TAKES HIM DOWN.

THE BOY'S PARENTS ADMIT THEIR SON APPEARS TO BE PLAYING ALONG BUT THEY THINK THAT WAS A COPING MECHANISM AND REGARDLESS THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED IN CLASS.

"I think the teacher was more like one of the boys than the educator"

"I was horrified by what I saw"

AFTER AN INTERNAL INVESTIGATION BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT PUT ROSI ON A 10-DAY SUSPENSION WITHOUT PAY.

BUT THE ACTING SUPERINTENDENT SAYS IT WAS NOT DEEMED A FIREABLE OFFENSE.

"It's an isolated situation in an 18-year career that's horrific and it deserves some pretty significant action fast. And that's what we did."

THE STUDENT'S PARENTS PULLED THEIR SON OUT OF THE DISTRICT IN PART BECAUSE THEY DON'T THINK ANY CLASS WITH MR. ROSI IS SAFE.

12:07:54

BULLYING IN SCHOOL-TAG

THE ABUSE WENT ON FOR 15 MINUTES.

THE SCHOOL FOUND OUT BECAUSE STUDENTS WERE SHOWING OFF THE VIDEO - HOWEVER STUDENTS THOUGHT IT WAS THE BOY, WHO BLEW THE WHISTLE - AND THAT HE WAS THE REASON THE TEACHERS WAS FORCED TO CHANGE SCHOOLS.

THE BOYS FATHER SAID AT POINT DURING ALL THIS - THAT HE WANTED TO END HIS LIFE.

THE BOY - NOW A 9TH GRADER IS GETTING COUNSELING AND ATTENDING A PRIVATE SCHOOL.

FOUR MONTHS LATER THE ALLEGED BANK ROBBER, 28-YEAR-OLD CHRISTOPHER CABRERA, IS BEHIND BARS.

SGT. BRIAN SAWYER WITH THE COLLIER COUNTY SHERIFFS OFFICE SAYS A TIP, SURVEILLANCE VIDEO AND D-N-A LED TO THE ARREST.

we like to believe the suspect is going to make at least one mistake at some point in time and what we want to do is identify the mistake and capitalize on it."

investigators got a tip about a suspicious man riding a bike about a mile from the bank. They searched the area and found clothes in these trash cans that matched what was on surveillance video."

we knew it was the suspects clothing based on the surveillance video in addition a dye pack that was included had exploded so we had residue from the dye pack on the clothes.

DNA LINKED THE CLOTHES BACK TO CABRERA.

BACK IN JULY, 37 YEAR OLD WAKIM STEWART WAS CAUGHT ON CAMERA WHILE ALLEGEDLY HOLDING UP A BANK OF AMERICA IN EAST NAPLES.

SGT. SAWYER SAYS THESE CASES ARE EVIDENCE THAT BANK ROBBERIES DON'T PAY OFF.

SUSPECTS OFTEN GET AWAY WITH LITTLE CASH AND LATER GET CAUGHT.

ACCORDING TO THE FBI--

THERE WERE MORE THAN 5,000 HEISTS ACROSS THE COUNTRY LAST YEAR, WITH 214 IN FLORIDA.

NATIONALLY--MORE THAN HALF OF ROBBERS WERE IDENTIFIED--

BUT OF $38 MILLION DOLLARS STOLEN-- ONLY $8 MILLION WAS RECOVERED.

if we can get them a short distance away and they havent had a chance to dispose of it than the likelihood of obtaining the money is pretty great. if we catch him 4 months later that's a whole different story13
