to say this stuff made me sick, right? >> it's their burden to prove how they developed con sir. there's extreme doubt and skepticism that there is a direct link between these -- this could affect hundreds, if not thousands of people. there's about $4.3 billion already set aside in this 911 fund. >> so how soon? i mean if this does happen, this is just a recommendation, right? how soon might we get this money? >> this is a recommendation, there's a long road ahead, it could take weeks if not months. >> and can you imagine the paper work? not only having to prove that this made you sick, but also have to prove that you were in new york city at that time. one connecticut company trying something new.

good morning, svr san francisco and good morning, everyone. it is about seven minutes past the hour and welcome back to cnn saturday morning. so imagine this, a 15-year-old boy putting himself in harm's way to help save a whole neighborhood from a wildfire. he got on his motorcycle to warn people about the fast moving fire. he has second-degree burns on his arms, legs and back. his mother is joining me now

from delta, colorado. how are you? walk us through what happened and what drove your son to jump into action. >> good morning. well, yesterday was quite a day, he saw smoke after mowing the lawn, was out playing with his dogs in the aspirsprinklers, if can imagine that and he saw smoke and with how windy it's been, it looked to be out of control before you know it. i called 911 and my husband and he started to get ready to go up the road to see what he could do and he got on his atv and went into action. he knew there was some elderly folks and some grand parent type friends up the road. >> even when he was in the ambulance, he was still trying to help people, telling the medics that they needed to help save some neighbors?

>> there was an elderly woman that was renting from some friends of ours about a mile and he couldn't get to her and he didn't know how you get her back. he could. find where her little home was. he knew there was somebody up there, when he came back down, the fire was so bad, he had to make a decision, do i stay down here where it's safe or do i go warn people? about then his atv started to cut out because of the lack of o oxyg oxygen. if he would have had a shirt on, it would have been worse burns. he went down to help our other neighbor to help load up her dogs. and she said you're burned.

>> i know you're a proud mom this morning. and i'm sure t is he a hero? >> in an emergency we all kick into gear, and i am very proud of him, he did a great job, i don't know how he managed his all terrain vehicle when it was so hot. but thankfully the fire is under control. >> debby, i think you should give him maybe a few days off from homework. an wish him the very best and a speedy recovery as well. unemployment benefits are -- we're focusing this morning on the problem and some possible solutions, here are the numbers.

take a look with me, the latest labor report shows 12,700,000 unemploy unemployed. then there's the 99ers, people who have exhausted all unemployment. there's a company that started a program tailored to the 99ers, trying to get them back into the workforce. the work place has a program called platform to employment. and mark is a graduate of that program. good morning to both of you. >> good morning. >> good morning. >> joe, let me start with you, you say platform to employment isn't about job training. so what is it about? >> it's about dealing with some of the other rather bad effects of long-term unemployment which is a loss of one's confidence and in a very, very competitive market like we have right now, if you don't have full

confidence in your abilities you really cannot compete. it's also dealing with the emotions of long-term unemployment, like depression. it's also suffering from the advantage business has in this market. we' . >> how successful has the first group been? >> we had 100 people in the first group and we got 72% of them placed, with the exception of three or four that did not make it through the eight-week period. everyone else is working, i think we have got a 92% rate of persons being hired after the eight-week internship was completed. >> you say the program is just a starting point. tell me how long you have been out of work and what did this program mean for you? >> the program was exceptional

for me because everyone in the platform to ememployment program cares so much about getting you re-employed. i had been unemployed for over two years, i had done some consulting work and trying to get work in a certain way. but when i became part of the platform to employment, the first time i met him, he said hope starts here, you do lose hope when you're over 50 years old and no one's taking a look at you anymore in spite of your past experience. >> what is your message to those who are still out there looking for work, for people who may know somebody who's been out of long-term work. >> that's a great question. a couple of things, one is specifically never lose hope. network every single day. reach out and to those of you out there who know folks that are unemployed, please take time

to go for a hike, take them out to lunch, write them a note, give them a phone call, because as joe mentioned, these people are feeling fear, they're feeling sad, they're feeling frustrated, they're feeling confused and if they can have some support from family and friends, it's critical in the road back to success. >> why do you think you're able to help find these people work? why are you having success that the rest of the country doesn't seem to have? >> because we're trying, i think there's room for other parts of america to do exactly what we did. there's a business community that respond to a program like this. i have no doubt that if we deal with the issue of a person's self-confidence, we can ready people to be challenging and competitive in the job market. others just need to take the leadership on and do it. >> you have a new group now, are

they any different from your first group? >> this group now, it's a program that was sponsored by the art foundation. and all of them are aged 50 or higher. so they are facing a greater struggle beyond the normal missed perceptions of long-term unemployment. if you're over 50, you could be facing discrimination based on age or just some discrimination of older workers. >> it's nice to see that you have a program that seems to be working, thank you very much for your time this morning. how easy are today's electronic gadgets. it depends on who you ask, of course. any 8-year-old seems to be able to handle a smart phone better than an adult.

that just before the surgery took place, we said we want to talk to the surgeon, we said doctor, remember, the hernia is on the right side. it wasn't that we didn't trust him, he's a fabulous surgeon. he understood why we wanted to do that. the nursings were not so thrilled because we held up their schedule. but this is our kid. >> tonight in your report, you countdown down 25 medical mistakes, what made you really want to look at this? obviously it's going on, it's a dangerous for people. >> the reason i wanted to do this is very personal and it also again is about my child and it was because when one of our daughters was two days old, she had an unnecessary spinal tap in the hospital. it wasn't necessary and the doctor didn't order it. it was a communication error and

connections to penn state, is that a little too cozy? >> that's not uncommon. the question really is do those people have opinions about the case and if they have opinions, can they put those aside and be fair and objective. so i don't think there's an advantage or a disadvantage for either side. >> the opening statements begin monday, what do you think the defense's biggest hurdle going to be here? >> we have so many victim -- even if one testimony is weak, testimony from stronger witnesses will slop over and fill in the gaps. >> how will they get beyond that so many boys from so many different years are telling this story? how do they defend against that? >> they have already

foreshadowed that in their pretrial motions, they are going to say that these victims have gotten together to collude and to fabricate their stories. this will be an attack on each victim's credibility. so they'll try to show that each victim is not credible. >> they are showing their face, the judge said they're going to have to come forward and tell their story up front. >> it's very damaging that these victims have come forward at all. child abuse is uncommon, what is uncommon is for children themselves to come forward and talk about it. so the fact that these young victims ar in court talking about embarrassing scary events is in itself strong. >> what about these supposedly, they're called love letters that sandusky apparently sent to some of those accusers, how damaging will some of those be?

graduation a celebration? >> i'm glad they didn't have any police officers around at my daughter's graduation, because i would probably still be in jail. and i don't understand what they were thinking in arresting someone. she'll never be convicted and it just is a waste of time, a waste of taxpayer money and i wish this poor woman the bests. >> they actually hauled her away and put her in some sort of holding cell and there was a $250 fee for her. >> how about just tell the woman, could you please calm down? or escort her out? a little bit of overkill. sue ellen is returning to south fork, yes the cast of t s dallas is back on the small screen. coming up my conversation with actress linda gray.

entertaining you. >> i am sick to death of this family devouring itself over money. >> what it is now, it's a continuation, it will blend, it blends beautifully with the older characters and the young characters and there's not -- there's nothing that will have you say, to my knowledge, anyway, you won't just sit there and go, no, it's not like the old days, they'll be oh, my god did you know this and this? they'll forget about it and feel that it's just this flawless segue into this new show. >> year 14. >> year 14. and that's how it feels, it feels like that to us, the three of us. >> so it seems the new "dallas" will pick up where the old one left off, but will anyone get shot and is the theme song the same? that's next. in your car.

romney disagreed. cnn political editor paul stein hauser has the story. >> good morning, randi, call it a war of words over the state of the economy, it started with barack obama's comments at the white house yesterday morning. >> the truth of the matter is that as i said we have created 4.3 million jobs, over 800,000 this month alone. where we're seeing weaknesses in our economy is state and local government. >> mitt romney described the private sector as doing fine. >> for the president of the united states to stand up and say the private sector is doing fine is going to go down in history. it's an extraordinary miscalculation and misunderstanding by a president

who is out of touch. >> a few hours later, a clarification from the president. >> it is absolutely clear that the economy is not doing fine. >> why does any of this matter? here's why, polls including ours indicate that americans continue to say by far that the economy is the most important problem facing the country. and nearly 7 in 10 of our cnnorc survey rate the economic conditions as poor and they're split on which candidate will better jump-start the economy. 31% say the economy will improve if romney is elittle bitted. we have got five more months of battling over the economy. >> randi? >> and we're all looking forward to that. a straight a student, member of national honor society, 2,100 on the sa frksat and she did it

the teen was living in a house with no electricity. >> she came to me and she said, i need something to be able to do my home work by. i said okay, we'll get you some candles. we'll take care of that. >> there was also no water. >> i would get water jugs and fill them off at the park, using the spigots at the bathroom and we could use that to cook with and flush the toilets and stuff like that. >> her mother and stepfather had moved again, this time leaving her behind. >> i never expected my parents to just like leaf. >> you were homeless. >> yes. >> reporter: dawn would crash a few stays on a couch here or a night or two on the floor there, but still cleaning and still keeping up her grades. >> i think what motivates me is the fact that when i was younger, i was able to look at all the bad choices, the neglect

and the drug abuse and i was having to ask myself, am i going buy food this month or am i going to pay rent? >> what's interesting about this story isn't just dawn loggins, it's what the school and what the community did. the moment that it was found out that dawn was homeless he should have been turned over to the state. that didn't happen, anda didn't happen on purpose. >> we took it upon ourselves to become her village. >> so teachers and staff made sure that she had a food and a place to live. >> it's a nice community. >> reporter: and it didn't end there, that same village was now out to get her to college and not just any college, harvard. >> her teacher wrote the recommendation letter and simply told dawn's story.

or to talk to an administrator, a teacher. because the school system can help. the school system has means to help out students in bad situations. and for other students, i encourage them to take advantage of all the opportunities that they're given. if you have the opportunity to participate, the opportunity to be in clubs, be in sports, take it. >> and if you would like to help dawn, contributions can be sent to burns high school, dawn loggins fund, that's 307 east stagecoach trail. lawndale, oklahoma. unemployment benefits are ending for hundreds of thousands of people who have been out of work long-term. the latest research shows that

if you watch my show from week to week, then you'll know that bullying is something i'm extremely passionate about and something i would very much like to see stopped. here's a story out of florida that really moved me. it raised some very important questions about whose responsible it is to prevent bullying in school. 17-year-old zachary gray was bullied at his school near tampa. things got so bad he hanged himself in a shet shed behind his home. but zachary's mother found him and he suffered severe brain damage and today is paralyzed. here's dazachary's mother and h attorney. lynn, let me ask you first, i'm so sorry to hear what's happened

to your son, i'm sure this is so difficult for you. but did you know that your son was being bullied? >> no. i didn't. >> you had no idea? there was no change in his behavior at home which we hear a lot about when you talk to these kids and these families? >> no, a lot of times kids don't tell their parents. >> and now that you do know that he was being bullied in school, any idea how long it was going on? how long it was happening? >> from what we understand, for a long time. >> a year? a few months? >> at least a year. >> robin, let me ask you, florida has been an anti-bullying state, it has laws requiring schools to report bullying to parenting. the school district must have a procedure for providing immediate notification to the parents of a victim of bullying

or harassment. did the school ever alert the parents to the bullying? >> no they did not. as a matter of fact the parents did not know. and they did inquire at that time, a few months later after it happened sent e-mails and letters to the superintendent and to pasco county schools to do an investigation because they wanted to have answers. and the only thing that was available was a newspaper article right after it happened that zachary had been bullied. >> and we reach it out to zachary's school district and they told us that there was never a report made to the school either through the students, family members or staff members regarding bullying. do you know if he ever complained to a teacher? >> he went to a teacher and told the teacher. >> what did he tell the teacher? >> he told the teacher that he

was being called tag, gay, we're, man bobs, all kinds of hateful stuff like that until hallway. >> and a teacher according to state law, robin, should have been aware of this and then told the family, correct? >> well, absolutely. the law states that once anyone in the school system has any realization that there's bullying, even if they witness it, who reports it to the principal who then reports to the parents. and apparently there were teachers that were aware of it. and from what i have learned from the parents, a few days after zachary was in the hospital, teachers approached the parents and said that they knew that zachary was being bullied. by law they needed to inform the parents. if the family had known, they

could have intervened and done something about it. >> lynn, i'm curious as to who you hold accountable here? >> i just want answers for my son. i want the school to stop doing this. and take accountable and stop this stuff. it's ridiculous. they're not taking any blame for anything. and they knew about it. i want these kids protected. we couldn't protect ours, but maybe we can protect somebody else's child. and somebody else from going through the stuff that we're going through. >> yeah, i'm sure that that is a goal for a lot of people in a lot of school districts across the country, there are state laws, but the question is are they being enforced and what is being done to help a lot of these kids and a lot of these families. robin and lynn, thank you both for your time. i would like to know what
