ROMNEY VIDEO-2SHOT, SOTVO, 2SHOT

THE MITT ROMNEY CAMPAIGN IS IN "CRISIS CONTROL"--

AFTER A SECRETLY RECORDED VIDEO HITS THE INTERNET.

"There are 47 percent of the people who will vote for the president no matter what. All right, there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government, who believe that they are victims,

THAT VIDEO WAS MADE DURING A *PRIVATE* CAMPAIGN DINNER IN BOCA RATON IN MAY.

BUT AS KAREN TRAVERS EXPLAINS--

DECISION 2012-CLIP

ROMNEY VIDEO-PKG

THE ROMNEY CAMPAIGN IS SCRAMBLING TO CONTAIN THE DAMAGE AFTER HIS REMARKS AT

A PRIVATE FUNDRAISER IN MAY WERE LEAKED.

Romney Video w/GFX

there are 47 percent who are with him, who are dependent upon government,

who believe that they are victims, who believe the government has a

responsibility to care for them, who believe that they are entitled to

health care, to food, to housing, to you-name-it.

AT A LAST MINUTE PRESS CONFERENCE LAST NIGHT, ROMNEY DIDN'T APOLOGIZE

Romney SOT

Well, um, It's not elegantly stated let me put it that way.

SO.HE TRIED TO STATE IT IN A DIFFERENT WAY.

Romney SOT

my campaign is about helping people take more responsibility and becoming

employed again.

TODAY VICE PRESIDENT BIDEN TURNED DOWN A CHANCE TO ATTACK.

Biden SOT

I'll let his words speak for themselves.

BUT THE PRESIDENT'S SPOKESMAN WEIGHED IN:

Carney SOT

When you're president of the United States, you are president of all the

people, not just the people who voted for you.

GFX

THE 47 PERCENT COMMENT COULD MAGNIFY ONE OF ROMNEY'S BIG WEAKNESSES -

VOTERS DON'T BELIEVE HE'S EMPATHETIC. IN A RECENT ABC-WASHINGTON POST POLL

58 PERCENT SAID ROMNEY WOULD FAVOR THE WEALTHY OVER THE MIDDLE CLASS.

AND THE CONTROVERSY COULDNT COME AT A WORSE TIME FOR HIS CAMPAIGN.

IT'S BEEN A ROCKY SEPTEMBER FOR ROMNEY.AND HIS NEXT CHANCE FOR A GAME

CHANGER MAY NOT COME UNTIL THE FIRST PREDIDENTIAL DEBATE ON OCT. 3.

Dowd SOT

that's the only opportunity he's going to have to shift from the unforced

errors, to shift from the crocks in the foundation and try to repair it in

ROMNEY VIDEO-TAG

THAT WAS KAREN TRAVERS.

ROMNEY'S CAMPAIGN CLEARLY AGREES WITH THAT DEBATE THEORY.

ROMNEY HAS SPENT NEARLY 30 HOURS ON DEBATE PREP SO FAR--

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.

A stalled front over the Florida peninsula is pumping lots of tropical moisture into Southwest Florida and is also helping to trigger rain and thunderstorms over the area and also in the Gulf of Mexico.

With the southwesterly wind flow in place, the trend will be for the rain in the Gulf of Mexico to drift towards the Southwest Florida coastline. Expect off and on showers and even a couple of thunderstorms through the evening.

The activity will wind down later tonight, with a mostly to partly cloudy sky and low temperatures near 75º.

The front doesn't move much tomorrow, so the pattern will remain the same, with lots of clouds, some sun from time to time and over half of Southwest Florida will get a shower or thunderstorm. Highs will be in the upper 80s.

The front begins to fall apart a bit by Thursday & Friday and a northeast wind will bridge the front, which will slightly dry us out and lower the rain chance. Still, about half of Southwest Florida will get some rain.

The weekend looks to be more of what you would expect this time of the year. Easterly wind flow will give us sun in the morning. Then the sea breeze moves ashore in the afternoon and triggers the afternoon storms.

TOSS TO HEATHER-ON CAM

THERE'S SOME STARTLING NEW INFORMATION TODAY ABOUT THE OBESITY PROBLEM IN THE U-S.

IT'S MUCH WORSE THAN ANYONE THOUGHT.

NBC2 ANCHOR HEATHER TURCO JOINS US IN THE STUDIO WITH A LOOK AT THE NUMBERS--

OBESITY GROWING-PLASMA MON

A NEW REPORT PROJECTS THE RATES OF OBESITY WILL SKYROCKET BY THE YEAR 2030.

IN FLORIDA, THE OBESITY RATE COULD GO FROM TODAY'S 27 PERCENT TO 59 PERCENT.

BUT THAT'S NOT THE ONLY BAD NEWS.

OBESITY GROWING-PKG

CANNED GOODS ARE OFTEN GO-TO FOODS FOR BUSY PARENTS TRYING TO GET A HEALTHY MEAL ON THE TABLE -- QUICKLY.

BUT A CHEMICAL USED TO PREVENT CORROSION IN THE LINING OF CANNED GOODS AND SOME PLASTICS CALLED BISPHENOL-A, OR B-P-A, MAY BE MAKING CHILDREN FAT.

"We were struck by the fact that the association was so strong."

DR. LEONARDO TRASANDE OF THE NYU SCHOOL OF MEDICINE LED A STUDY THAT FOUND KIDS WITH THE HIGHEST CONCENTRATIONS OF B-P-A IN THEIR SYSTEMS WERE TWICE AS LIKELY TO BE OBESE. THE EFFECT WAS FOUND ONLY IN WHITE CHILDREN AND TEENS.

"Childhood obesity is definitely mostly the product of unhealthy diet and poor physical activity, but increasingly we're understanding that environmental chemicals also play a role."

A STATEMENT FROM THE AMERICAN CHEMISTRY COUNCIL POINTS TO OTHER RESEARCH THAT SUGGESTS: "because of the way BPA is processed in the body, it is very unlikely that BPA could cause health effects at any realistic exposure level."

ANOTHER NEW REPORT -- THIS ONE FROM THE NON-PROFIT ROBERT WOOD JOHNSON FOUNDATION -- PROJECTS SKYROCKETING OBESITY RATES BY THE YEAR 2030 IF THE COUNTRY CONTINUES TO WIDEN AT ITS CURRENT PACE.

"Over 13 states will have obesity rates over 60%. 39 states will have obesity rates over 50%."

AFTER ALL THESE YEARS--

ONE VICTIM CAME FORWARD LAUNCHING THE INVESTIGATION.

ORAL SEX ARREST-PKG

DETECTIVES SAY DARRIN HYSELL MANIPULATED FOUR BOYS IN TO PERFORMING ORAL SEX ON HIM TWELVE YEARS AGO.

THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE STARTED AN INVESTIGATION INTO HYSELL LATE LAST YEAR AFTER A NOW 22-YEAR-OLD VICTIM CAME FORWARD.

HE DESCRIBED THE ABUSE, AND TOLD DEPUTIES THREE OTHER BOYS WERE ALSO FORCED TO PERFORM SEX ACTS.

THE VICTIMS WERE BETWEEN NINE AND 11 YEARS-OLD AT THE TIME.

OVER MONTHS, DETECTIVES TRACKED DOWN AND INTERVIEWED THE OTHER VICTIMS AND THEN FINALLY SPOKE WITH HYSELL.

Standup "The first time detectives spoke with Hysell, he denied everything. Then, the very next day, he called detectives saying he had more information. So, they came to his house and took him back to the sheriff's office. In a second interview, Hysell confirmed what the victim had said and went into detail about other acts.

HE TOLD DETECTIVES, HE NEVER FORCED THE BOYS TO PERFORM SEXUAL ACTS ON HIM, THEY SIMPLY DID WHAT HE ASKED THEM TO DO.

SO WHY WOULDN'T A VICTIM COME FORWARD RIGHT AWAY?

"a lot of it has to do with personal shame." Monica Miller, Counselor

MONICA MILLER IS COUNSELOR WHO MOSTLY WORKS WITH TEENS. SHE SAYS YOUNG VICTIMS TEND TO BLAME THEMSELVES.

"rather than seeing that the other person did something wrong and that it wasn't his fault, he would blame himself." Monica Miller, Counselor

AS THE VICTIM GOT OLDER, MILLER ASSUMES HE REALIZED WHAT HAPPENED WASN'T RIGHT AND DECIDED TO SPEAK UP.

"he's hopefully getting a better idea of who he is and starting to understand what things happened to him that weren't his fault." Monica Miller, Counselor

HYSELL IS CHARGED ACCUSED OF SEXUAL ASSAULT ON A VICTIM LESS THAN 12. THE SHERIFF'S OFFICE EXPECTS TO FILE MORE CHARGES AS IT CONTINUES TO INVESTIGATE.

HE'S IN JAIL TONIGHT WITH NO BOND.
