AN AMBER ALERT IS ISSUED TONIGHT FOR A 12 YEAR OLD GIRL FROM NORTH CAROLINA.

SHE WAS LAST SEEN MONDAY MORNING.

DEPUTIES BELIEVE ABIGALE LEFEVERS IS WITH A REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER AND THEY MAY BE HEADED TO FLORIDA.

HER FATHER IS PLEADING FOR HER SAFE RETURN.

AMBER ALERT-PKG

"Abigale if you're out there watching me right now baby, please just come home. Daddy's not mad, we can work through anything that this is, just please come home. Please come home baby."

ROBERT LEFEVERS PLEADS FOR HIS 12-YEAR OLD DAUGHTER ABIGALE'S SAFE RETURN AFTER SHE DISAPPEARED MONDAY MORNING FROM HER HOME IN CARTERET COUNTY. INVESTIGATORS BELIEVE SHE IS WITH 38-YEAR OLD TIMOTHY NEWMAN, WHO IS A REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER. HE SERVED OVER SIX YEARS IN PRISON FOR THREE COUNTS OF SEX OFFENSES, BEFORE HE WAS RELEASED LAST YEAR.

"He's registered here in Carteret County. And we have good reason to believe that she could be in the company of Mr. Newman."

RAPER WOULDN'T GO INTO DETAILS, SAYING IT COULD JEOPARDIZE THE CHANCES OF FINDING ABIGALE. THERE IS NOW AN AMBER ALERT FOR HER, AFTER NEWMAN'S VEHICLE WAS SPOTTED ON HIGHWAY 17 NEAR THE SOUTH CAROLINA BORDER.

"1998 Chrysler Sebring, two-door, red, with a black convertible top."

ABIGALE'S FATHER SAYS HE'S MET NEWMAN BEFORE. BUT NEVER SUSPECTED ANYTHING LIKE THE ALLEGATIONS AGAINST HIM.

"I did know him, I didn't know that he was capable of taking my daughter and running off with her."

AS THE INVESTIGATION CONTINUES AROUND THE CLOCK, LEFEVERS SAYS ALL HE WANTS TO DO IS SEE HIS DAUGHTER'S SMILING FACE.

Cape coral was hit especially hard by housing crisis - with some of highest foreclosure rates in the county. As a result of losing their homes, one-time homeowners were forced to rent, driving up the demand for rental properties.

A typical case of bacon has gone up 30 percent in price here since may.

What does that mean for you?

if you want to add bacon to your burger- it's normally 75 cents.

FORECAST-PHC

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE ABC7 WEATHER STAFF.

FORECAST-WXWALL

Clouds dominated our skies once again today across Southwest Florida with little to no sunshine. This has kept temperatures well below the 90° mark with most locations sitting in the middle to upper 80s.

Up until this point, the vast majority of the area has stayed mainly dry with only a few sprinkles and patchy rain areas showing up on radar. A few downpours will try to get going late this afternoon and will linger into the early evening hours.

Once the rain fades tonight, our skies will go fairly quiet and the clouds will begin to thin just a bit overnight as lows settle into the mid 70s by morning.

Our Thursday will more than likely start off with more clouds and dry weather. Through the afternoon, a few more rays of sunshine will breakout allowing temperatures to rebound into the low 90s. We'll also be in more of a summertime pattern, where showers and a few storms favor the afternoon and evening hours close to the urban corridor.

Friday and into the weekend, expect a mix of sun and clouds, while most of the rain activity holds off until the afternoon. With a turn in our steering winds by Sunday off the Gulf of Mexico, a few morning showers can't be ruled out before they get pushed deeper inland by the afternoon.

Early next week, a cold front will stall across the Peninsula just to the north of the area. This will keep our weather pattern a bit unsettled as we kick off the month of October.

SHE SAYS IT'S NOT CHEAP.

"About 70 to 80 dollars a month. He goes through a lot of them. like about ten, eleven a day."

KEVIN BRASLER IS NOT ONLY A DAD WHO BUYS DIAPERS. HE'S EXECUTIVE EDITOR FOR WASHINGTON CONSUMERS CHECKBOOK.

"It depends on where you shop it also depends on how you shop."

FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER. WASHINGTON CONSUMERS CHECKBOOK CONDUCTED A DIAPER PRICE SURVEY.

SHOPPING FOR DIAPERS AT LOCAL GROCERY STORES. WAREHOUSE CLUB STORES. DRUGSTORES. DISCOUNTERS AND ONLINE

IT FOUND SOME OF THE BEST PRICES ON DIAPERS AT TARGET. COSTCO. SAMS CLUB AND Bjs.

"We found depending on where you shop you can spend 500 to 900 dollars a year diapering just one kid."

THAT'S A DIFFERENCE OF 400-DOLLARS PER CHILD EACH YEAR.

BUT THIS MAY BE A SURPRISE. CHECKBOOK FOUND ROCK BOTTOM PRICES FOR BRAND NAME DIAPERS ONLINE WITH AMAZON. IT'S CALLED AMAZON MOM. PART OF ITS 79 DOLLAR ANNUAL PRIME MEMBERSHIP.

THESE MOMS ALL USE CLOTH DIAPERS.

"It feels like the gift that keeps on giving. so when I do buy disposable diapers which i use a nighttime or during travel. it really feels like throwing money away."

EITHER WAY. USING CLOTH OR DISPOSABLE. YOU CAN SAVE HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ON DIAPERS EACH YEAR IF YOU KNOW WHERE TO BUY.

REDSHIRTING KINDERGARTNERS-VO IN POP

MOST PEOPLE KNOW OF 'REDSHIRTING' AS A COLLEGE SPORTS TERM.

IT REFERS TO NOT LETTING AN ATHLETE PLAY FOR A YEAR, ALLOWING TO KEEP THAT YEAR OF ELIGIBILITY.

WELL, NOW EDUCATORS ARE USING THE TERM WITH KINDERGARTNERS.

MORE PARENTS ARE HOLDING A 5 YEAR OLD BACK FROM STARTING KINDERGARTEN, WAITING UNTIL THEY'RE SIX.

BUT, DOES IT ACTUALLY HELP A CHILD SUCCEED?

REDSHIRTING KINDERGARTNERS-PKG

5 YEAR OLD STONE CROWE LOVES TO COMPETE. HE LOVES TO PLAY, AND PLAY HARD.

AND HE LOVES TO WIN. AND WHEN HE DOESN'T WIN. WELL.

"He's somewhat immature."

IN FACT HIS 5TH BIRTHDAY WAS JULY 4TH. THE CALENDAR SAYS HE'S READY FOR KINDERGARTEN. BUT HIS MOM AMY SAYS HIS BEHAVIOR SAYS OTHERWISE.

"School would end up being a struggle for him than a success and that's not what I want. I feel like holding him one more year that way when he goes to school he's gonna be confident, ready for the challenge of school, because it's difficult these days."

IT'S CALLED 'REDSHIRTING', HOLDING A 5 YEAR OLD BACK FROM STARTING KINDERGARTEN UNTIL THEY'RE SIX.

"By and large you see more parents that are concerned about the maturity of their children facing the transition points in life."

RUSS TILFORD IS HEAD OF MCCRACKEN COUNTY SCHOOLS PUPIL PERSONNEL.

THE RULES FOR REDSHIRTING ARE PRETTY SIMPLE. KENTUCKY LAW GIVES PARENTS THE OPTION OF SENDING A FIVE YEAR OLD TO KINDERGARTEN, BUT ANY CHILD WHO IS SIX YEARS OF AGE OR WHO MAY BECOME SIX YEARS OF AGE BY OCTOBER 1ST SHALL ATTEND PUBLIC SCHOOL.

"We want to work with families to do what's best for them and for their child."

"Foul!!"

FOR AMY THAT MEANS WAITING ONE MORE YEAR.

AND IN HER CASE SHE MAY BE BETTER QUALIFIED THAN MOST PARENTS TO MAKE THAT DECISION, SINCE SHE IS A FIRST GRADE TEACHER AND HAS TAUGHT KINDERGARTEN IN THE PAST.

"Generally, the younger students tend to be more immature than older students."

SO STONE HAS ONE MORE YEAR TO WORK ON HIS FOREHAND.

"Uh oh. Stone, get over here Mister."

AND ONE MORE YEAR TO LEARN IT'S OK TO FALL DOWN, AS LONG AS YOU GET UP AGAIN.
