"it should be getting underway right away. Hopefully we'll have the case tried in one week and get it so Thomas can get beyond it and move on with his life."

Me: "did you have any idea he was being abused?"

Crystal: "No, none whatsoever."

JUST AROUND THE BLOCK FROM WHERE THIS ALL TOOK PLACE, CRYSTAL JONES SAYS THE WHOLE INCIDENT HAS MADE HER NEIGHBORS MORE AWARE OF WHAT'S GOING ON.

"it turned into us being a neighborhood watch. Different kids riding bikes, we speak with other parents and keep each other informed." Crystal Jones, Neighbor

"It may not be as bad in produce as it will be for grains, which come from the Midwest and the breadbasket so that's what we're bracing for is more the grains and of course the meat that eats the grains.

MOSQUITO SPRAYING-TC MON

IT'S BEEN A WEEK SINCE ISAAC PASSED --

AND THAT'S JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT F TIME FOR ANOTHER STORM RELATED PROBLEM.

MOSQUITOS.

MOSQUITO SPRAYING-PKG

WHILE ISAAC-

MAY NOT HAVE INITIALLY HAD A BIG BITE IN SOUTHWEST FLORIDA-

IT DOES NOW.

10:50 "they're a nuisance."

MOSQUITOS-

BIG ONES.

AND LOTS OF THEM.

10:40 "yeah, yeah- it's like it pushed everything back inland."

THE STORM CAUSED QUITE A BIT OF STEADY RAIN,

WHICH IN TURN CAUSED LOTS OF STANDING WATER.

4:39 "isaac came very slow so the water didn't have the chance to run off real fast like our normal rains."

PERFECT CONDITIONS FOR LEE COUNTY MOSQUITO CONTROL'S NEMESIS.

5:05 "people may notice those as being kind of a bigger, shaggy mosquito and they come off in larger numbers."

SOMEONE OF THE HARDER HIT AREAS-

LEHIGH ACRES,

AND SECTIONS OF NORTH FORT MYERS AND ALVA.

"we'll be moving into those other areas that we know we have mosquitos coming off."

JUST TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA-

IN LEHIGH ACRES-

MOSQUITO CONTROL SET UP TRAPS TO COUNT THE NUMBER OF MOSQUITOES IN THE AREA.

IN ONE TRAP-

WHAT WOULD NORMALLY CATCH 25 MOSQUITOES-

CAUGHT 7 TIMES THAT.

SO, THEY'RE SENDING OUT THE PLANES.

6:12 "the number of mosquitoes have gotten to that level and they ned to be treated and so that's what we're doing right now to try and knock them down."

TONIGHT-
