Devon Rajos

I have a scrape here, the back of my head and I'm sore here.

29:28-36

I looked that way and then crossed. The car hit me.

Looking one way - but not the other -

where Lee County Deputies say this slow moving Toyota Camry struck the

12 year old.

Shattering the car's windshield and cracking its headlight.

31:04-9

I hit the cement and crawled into the grass.

Rojas says the driver- 41 year old Marie Auguste- called 911.

Even though deputies say she wasn't speeding - neighbors say cars and kids on this street don't mix.

59:31- 40

It's a big concern for children where getting dropped off and parents should tell them to stay out of the street and be respectful of cars.

55:13-21

Linda Harclerode - Lehigh

If it's gonna take speed bumps, stop signs whatever, something has to be done. Unfortunately tragedy has to happen.

Meanwhile - Rojas says a major event could have been avoided if he made one minor change.

STUDENTS INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS-ONCAM

WITH THIS UNFORTUNATE TREND, WE ASKED LOCAL LEADERS WHAT CAN BE DONE TO KEEP STUDENTS SAFE ON THEIR WAY TO SCHOOL.

STUDENTS INVOLVED IN ACCIDENTS-PKG-BNR

BROKEN WINDSHIELDS AND BROKEN BONES -

AN UNNECESSARY PART OF THE SCHOOL DAY

"they were all here this morning and they were horrified to have another student hurt."

JAMIE MICHAEL IS ACTING PRESIDENT OF THE SUPPORT PERSONNEL ASSOCIATION OF LEE COUNTY -- REPRESENTING THE DISTRICT'S SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS.

SIDEWALKS AND LIGHTING WOULD HELP PREVENT ACCIDENTS LIKE THESE - BUT SHE DISMAYS IT'S NOT IN THE BUDGET.

"with the reduction in taxes, people don't want to pay for those things and as long as we don't put our students at the forefront - whether it's academics or sidewalks"

LOOK BOTH WAYS BEFORE YOU CROSS THE STREET -

PART OF THE BASIC SAFETY CURRICULUM - BUT MICHAEL THINKS TEACHING STUDENTS HOW TO BE SAFE HAS GOTTEN SHORT SHRIFT.

"With high stakes testing, it kind of falls to the wayside because they have to get into those academics first week.

THE LEE COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICT SAYS THESE ACCIDENTS GIVES ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS SAFETY PRACTICES WITH CHILDREN - WEHTER ON PUBLIC OR PRIVATE ROADS.

"Oh, I'm not saying there's not a lot of bonehead pedestrians and bicyclists out there, there are."

DAN MOSER TEACHES BICYCLE AND PEDESTRIAN SAFETY IN THE COMMUNITY.

HE BELIEVES MORE ENFORCEMENT WOULD DETER ACCIDENTS.

"The whole thing is really personal responsibility all around."

THE GOAL - FEWER SCENES LIKE THESE.

SHE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH BREAST CANCER IN 2008. TODAY MRS. ROMNEY MET BRIEFLY WITH A CAPE CORAL WOMAN WHO'S RECEIVING TREATMENT FOR THE SAME TYPE OF CANCER.

One of the women from this center called me and asked me if I would do an interview and I said absolutely. and they told me with Ann Romney, and I said oh my goodness. sure!"

ANN ROMNEY SAYS SHE WASN'T NERVOUS SPEAKING TWO WEEKS AGO AT THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION IN TAMPA.

BUT SHE KNOWS AFTER A FAILED RUN IN 2008, POLITICS CAN BE TOXIC.

Chad: "What your reaction when you see negativity on *both sides?"

Ann: "the last cycle, I said to myself I'm never going to do this again. I hated the negative part of it!" Chad: "but here you are again." Ann: "and here I am and gladly. and very willingly. I'm here again.

ROBERT VAN WINKLE FORECAST OPEN-CLIP

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.

LESS CLOUDS, MORE SUN TOMORROW

Clouds hung tough today, and as a result our highs didn't get over 90. The clouds will not completely erode away tomorrow, but I can promise a little more sunshine for your day!

Remember that old cold front we talked about several days ago? It hasn't completely faded away. It's essentially meandering around south Florida, the Gulf, and part of the south central U.S. This boundary is the focus for our weather still today, and it's kept the moisture locked in place. Consequently, we've seen a lot of clouds and periods of rain.

Tomorrow will be a mix of sun and clouds. Could we wake up to a couple of coastal showers? Yes, overall the trend is dry in the morning. After lunch time, heavy downpours and storms will begin developing across the interior, and they'll shift west toward the urban corridor.

As for this weekend - even more sunshine will be available. Our winds are going to slack, and that will allow the sea breeze to begin. With winds coming from the northeast… The sea breeze will be held closer to the I-75.

Winds shift to the south to start the week. Simply put, this means to keep the umbrella at hand.

Temperatures will be right around our average this week! Lower 90s are in the forecast.

INVESTIGATORS OPEN-CLIP

ADA COMPLIANCE-VOTOPS-2SHOT

TIGHT TURNS--

PACKED PATHWAYS--

CLOGGED CLOTHING AISLES.

IT'S A LOCAL TEEN'S STRUGGLE-- TO SIMPLY GO SHOPPING.

AFTER HER FAMILY CONTACTED US THE NBC-2 INVESTIGATORS DUG DEEPER, FINDING SOME STORES *COULD BE BREAKING THE LAW.

ADA COMPLIANCE-PKG-BNR

FOR MOST TEENAGE GIRLS- A TRIP TO THE MALL MEANS NEW FASHION AND FUN--

FOR JADE SUMMERS-

IT'S A STRUGGLE.

Dave Summers 31:11 When we go shopping, a lot of the paths are not wide enough for her wheelchair to go through, and it's real aggravating to try to push her through there. :21

STORES PACKED WITH PRODUCTS-

AND AISLES SO TIGHT- THE TEEN'S WHEELCHAIR TAKES MERCHANDISE WITH IT AT NEARLY EVERY TURN.

dave Summers 31:24 if she's by herself, how is she going to be able to do this? It's constant barrier, barrier barrier. :30

BORN WITH CEREBRAL PALSY, THE TEEN RELIES ON HER PARENTS, DAVE AND DEENA-

Dave Summers 33:00 she should be able to go in and out of the stores like you or I. :10

Matthew Dietz 46:19 there's a balance between merchandising the store, and also having access to the store. :25

ATTORNEY MATTHEW DIETZ SAYS THE AMERICAN DISABILITY ACT PROMISES THE SAME ACCESS IN STORES FOR A PERSON IN A WHEELCHAIR AS AN ABLE-BODIED PERSON--

WITH NO LESS THAN 32 INCHES OF CLEAR SPACE BETWEEN PRODUCTS.

Matthew Dietz 44:58 they should be able to go into a store, look in a store, maybe not be able to reach everything that's in a store or get to every single item in a store, but be able to see and be able to shop just like anyone else. :09

WE VISITED THE STORES JADE FREQUENTS TO MEASURE OURSELVES.

THE DAY WE CHECKED CLAIRE'S AT MIROMAR OUTLETS, THERE WAS 27 INCHES OF SPACE. BUT ONLY WHEN MERCHANDISE WAS PUSHED BACK.

AT LOVE CULTURE - THE DAY WE WENT DISPLAYS VARIED--

SOME HAD PLENTY OF SPACE-

OTHERS THERE WASN'T ENOUGH ROOM.

AND AT AEROPOSTALE AT MIROMAR OUTLETS-

MANY PARTS OF THE STORE HAD ENOUGH ROOM-

BUT THERE WAS ONLY 20 INCHES BETWEEN THE SALES RACK AND BACK WALL.

Matthew Dietz 44:48 there has to be access within a store and a person in a wheelchair should have equal access to any other able-bodied person. :57

DIETZ HAS FORCED MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR SETTLEMENTS FROM SEVERAL STORES - SOMETIMES BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY WAY TO GET THEM TO COMPLY.

THE NBC2 INVESTIGATORS DISCOVERED THERE'S NO ORGANIZATION THAT OVERSEES OR INSPECTS FOR A-D-A COMPLIANCE LIKE THIS.

SOMETHING JADE'S DAD THINKS SHOULD BE CHANGED.

ADA COMPLIANCE-(3)CG-OC

THAT WAS KARLA RAY REPORTING.

IN AN EMAIL CLAIRES OFFICIALS TOLD NBC-2--

"Claire's … strives to be a leader in supporting the needs of the disabled community.

All of our stores are designed to meet or exceed ADA standards."

AEROPOSTALE SAYS--

"The company is compliant with ADA guidelines in its stores."

CAPE BURGLARY ARRESTS-SS-OC

A BOLD CRIME SPREE IN CAPE CORAL ENDED IN MORE THAN 60 CHARGES, SHARED BETWEEN TWO TEENAGERS.

DETECTIVES CLAIM THEY BROKE IN BY KICKING DOWN FRONT DOORS.

INVESTIGATORS TELL NBC-2'S STEVE CAMPION--

CAPE BURGLARY ARRESTS-PKG-BNR

5642 "everything was upside down."

THE SHUTTERS ON THIS NORTHWEST CAPE CORAL HOME -- DIDN'T KEEP CROOKS FROM RANSACKING ROOMS.

5725 "they just kicked the door frame outside. They broke the frame. The door was still locked."

NEIGHBOR SEFIK SELIMOVIC TELLS US -- LAST MONTH HE WAS SHOCKED WHEN THE PEST CONTROL GUY STUMBLED UPON THE BREAK-IN.

CAPE COPS EXPLAIN THE HOUSE IS ONE OF AT LEAST SIX HIT BY THESE TWO TEENAGERS -- 18 YEAR OLD DEVIN BOX AND 17-YEAR OLD JUSTIN ENS.

INVESTIGATORS CLAIM -- THEY USED BOX'S MOM'S CHEVY MALIBU TO JOYRIDE AROUND THE CITY -- KICKING IN FRONT DOORS IN SEARCH OF PRICEY JEWELRY AND LOADED GUNS.

5656 "it was a big mess. It was a big mess like a bed room and living room. Everything was all over."

DETECTIVES SAY -- BOX CONFESSED TO IT ALL -- TELLING THEM HE AND ENS PAWNED THE GOLD AT THIS STORE OFF PINE ISLAND ROAD.

THEY SAY THE TWO SPLIT THE PROFITS TO FUEL DRUG HABITS, FRESHEN UP THEIR WARDROBES, AND STOCK UP ON GUNS.

INSIDE THIS HOME -- OFFICERS REPORT THERE WASN'T ANY JEWLERY.

5705 "I saw the alcohol was missing too. They must have been drinking it."

IN 2009 -- ENS WAS ARRESTED AT THE AGE OF 13 -- FOR A DOZEN BREAK-INS ON PINE ISLAND INCLUDING SALONS, A DELI, AND A PRE-SCHOOL.

AS CAPE CORAL POLICE CONTINUE THEIR INVESTIGATION -- THEY TELL US THE TEENS SPRAY PAINTED WORDS INSIDE THE HOMES -- MAKING IT EASY TO TIE THEM TO THE CRIMES.

THAT'S LEFT SOME -- WISHING THEY'D TRADE THE CALLING-CARDS IN FOR APPLICATIONS.

5836 "guys, get a job."
