♪ love you, yeah, yeah, yeah, she loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah ♪ good evening. thanks for joining us. breaking news tonight from the middle east where there are new signs that israel is gearing up for ground action in gaza. we'll take you there shortly. but first a crisis here at home on the border. children in limbo on the border with more kids entering the country every single day. president obama in texas today continued to push congress to act on $3.7 billion in emergency spending to address the immediate problem. he singled out house lawmakers as well for not acting on compromise senate legislation addressing broader immigration reform. also, a pair of hecklers singled him out. >> but the house republicans, they haven't even called the bill. they won't even take a vote on the bill. they -- they don't have enough energy or organization or i don't know what to just even vote no on the bill.

and then they're mad at me for trying to do some things to make the immigration system work better. so it doesn't -- it doesn't make sense. so i'm sorry. what are you yelling about now? sit down, guys. i'm almost done. come on. sit down. i'll talk to you afterwards, i promise, all right? i'll bring you back. i'm wrapping things up here. i understand. so everybody is going to start. i'm on your side, man, sit down, guys. we'll talk about it later, i promise. >> unclear what the hecklers wanted. harsh words as well from house speaker john boehner. he has been president for five and a half years, boehner said. when is he going to take responsibility for something? texas governor rick perry today sent president obama a letter requesting a thousand national guard troops and predator drones to patrol the border, and the kids keep coming. gary tuchman has been following some on their journey here from central america. it's a reporting you won't see anywhere else.

. >> i want to give you a look here how open this is. there are police here there are police all over here. and no one minds that people are going across the river from here in guatemala into mexico. you can see this family of three, a mother, a father, and their little boy. they told me a short time ago they're getting ready to go on this raft, these huge inner tubes. they're getting ready to go across into mexico. they're hoping also to get into the united states. >> that's from yesterday, not today. that's gary's remarkable reporting on mexico's southern border where police appear to tolerate the flow of migrants out of guatemala between guatemala and mexico. he is now from an official border crossing right above what happens to be a heavily used unofficial crossing. gary? >> anderson, i stand right now where it is absolutely pouring rain. a torrential storm right now. and that is the border marker, mexico-guatemala. i take a step and i'm one time

zone behind and i'm in another country. this is guatemala. this is an official border station where it is pouring right now. and that is where it's done by the book. but if you want to cross from guatemala into mexico, and you don't want to do it by the book, all you have to do is literally go below. many people legally ross between guatemala and mexico. this is the guatemalan side. the other side of this bridge is the nation of mexico. the mexican state of chiapas. most people do not have documentation to go from one country to another, including the people who eventually want to wind much the united states. so what they do is something you will not see between the united states and mexico or the united states and canada for that matter. not miles away, not hours away, right next to the legal border crossing, here are people who are walking across this river to get from guatemala to mexico. they walk. they swim. they also take rafts to illegally cross. and what is amazing is no one at this border station, neither the mexican officials or the

guatemalan officials seem to mind. they just let them cross. it happens all day. so we're going give you a look. we're going to go under this bridge to the raft area and show you what happens. right under where you can legally cross, this is where you illegally cross. right under this border station. this is the rafts, the inner tube, the wood. well paid our 10, which is the equivalent of a dollar. we're going go along on this raging rapid trick. hola, hello. can i go with you? voy con ti? >> they just want to go to mexico. listo? you ready? okay. everyone here is quiet. you got to duck your heads so you don't get decapitated by the rope. and now we've crossed the international boundary, and we're in the nation of mexico. what happens when people get here who eventually want to get to the united states, this is standard, they climb on these rocks and there are trails and they're paths up there.

there are also shelters there. many people who want to begin their voyage to the united states will stay in this shelter while they're trying to figure out how they're going to get there this is the easy part. people are very friendly. it costs almost nothing. but to get to the united states border could take weeks if they're successful. in many cases they're not successful. but this for many people is the beginning of the journey. this is the trail that guatemalans, hondurans, salve dorns first see when they step into mexico from the river. it's rocky, jungle-like, steep in spots. we should tell you the people on our boat, it's not clear where they were going. some swore they were staying here in mexico. you never really know. once you get into mexico, that's when the serious business begins. that's when you to look for shelter, help to get into the united states. you have old people, young people navigating this, trying to make their way into town here. this is the town of talizman, mexico. by the way, they used to have over the river zip-lines, like you would see in recreational places. the zip-lines were taken down

not because it's illegal, but because it wasn't safe. people were getting hurt, sometimes killed when the zip-lines collapsed. once you get up this trail and get into the little town, they figure out how to get to the shelters to continue their journey towards the u.s. board border. so these bands go to tapachula where there is shelter for migrants where they can get advice, food and health care. and you can see the people on the bus here. hola, kay tal? hello. tapachula? they're all going to tapachula. to united states? si? buenas suerte. he says he is going to anyone else. anyone else? united states? si erra la puerta. close the door. hasta luega. but the door is reopened. more journeying north. >> they still have around 1600

miles left to travel to get to the united states. how are they make it the rest of the way? >> what many of these immigrants do, anderson, they head about three hours away from here to my right to explain, called la bestia. they call it a beast, a freight train that many immigrants ride on top of, they ride in between the cars. they hop on while it's going, hop off of. many people are injured. many end up being killed. we can tell you the train as of this moment is derailed. there is a problem wit. you have hundreds of immigrants waiting around in the town where the train stops, hoping to hop on it for a ride up to the united states when it starts going again. anderson? >> all right, gary tuchman, i appreciate it. get out of the rain. the train gary mentioned is a dangerous way many of these kids are making it north. the risks are many, as gary mentioned. there are derailments like there was just today. but there is just one danger there is not just one danger, i should say, as our carl penhall

found out when he rode the. >> reporter: some call it the beast. to others it's the train of death. but to all these illegal migrants, it's a free ride bound for their american dream. of washing dishes, picking lettuce, or carrying bricks. >> work under the sun and know if you -- if you are born over there, your life is going to be different. you're going to work in office. go to a nice high school, go to a nice college, you know. i don't think we're stealing their money or their jobs, you know. >> reporter: like most from central american countries like guatemala and honduras. they'll spend days clinging to cargo trains as they grind through southern mexico up toward the u.s. border. human rights groups estimate

thousands have died falling from trains like this. some of them mutilated under its wheels. en route to the u.s. border, many more have been robbed, raped, and kidnapped. the mexican authorities do little to prevent them riding or to deter gangs from preying on them. so when i caught up with this group of migrants at a free hostel in southern mexico, i wondered why they were ready to sacrifice so much. >> is really the american country because you can make money and live better, help your people over here. >> reporter: elvin once worked in the u.s. before being jailed on a drug and drunk driving charge and later deported. >> and i want to do the things right this time. i don't want to get in trouble again. i don't think i'm a bad person. >> reporter: by next morning, hope has become apprehension. as they wait by the tracks.

some smoke a marijuana joint to calm their nerves. i scramble on to the train. i tie myself on for safety. i got off at an unscheduled stop a few hours later. >> bye-bye! >> reporter: but i heard the train arrived without incident in the town. it's been a tough 12-hour ride to get here, but the migrant still faces many more days of travel to get to the u.s. border. father alejandro has been giving migrants a free bed and a meal at this hostel for five years. bitter experience tells him they will press on, despite the risks rather than go home to poverty. [ speaking spanish ] >> translator: this is an interminable exodus. it never ends. but i'm sure they're going to make history.

they're going rebuild america. >> reporter: but before they make that history or achieve their own more modest dreams, these poor migrants must first survive the train of death. >> karl, it's extraordinary just to see those young kids, people of all ages on board that train, packed on top of the train. what it is like to ride it? what is it like to be on it? you have ridden the route several times. >> yeah, i've ridden that route several times, anderson, and every time it is terrifying. it's tear fight for a number of reasons. first of all you, have you to jump the train. and for undocumented migrants, the safest time for them to get on that train is when it's actually started to move. that way they're not going to get hassled by police or by railway workers as they try to jump the cargo train. and that itself is a feat. because the migrants themselves will tell you how they try and run alongside the train, get ahold on the railings, and they say that sometimes they feel

this waft of air that drags them underneath. so you see a lot of migrants jumping those trains, but also at certain key points along the route, there are migrant hostels, the migrants that have been mutilated by the trains, young men who have lost a leg or both legislation or an arm because they have fallen under the train. and then, of course, one of the biggest problems, and that is marauding gangs. >> the guy we heard from in your piece, elvin, he has ridden the train many times, and he is not the only one. there is a lot of people who have done that. >> there are a lot of people there. i think even in 2010 when it was told to people familiar with the situation, they say that about 30% of the migrants trying to get back into the u.s. are returnees. they may have arrived in the u.s. and then been deported and are trying to get back again. this guy elvin, for example, i stayed in touch with him since 2010 on facebook, the occasional phone call. and to my knowledge, he has ridden that train again another

four times. he has a number of reasons for trying to get back into the united states. he has a family in the united states. he has a baby girl. so he is always desperate to get back to see her. he is also wanting to earn cash that he can send back to his family in guatemala. >> that's an incredible story. karl penhaul, thanks. quick remind. >> make sure you set your dvr so you can watch "360" whenever you want. just ahead, texas governor rick perry is saying now about his claim that the obama administration might have manufactured the immigration crisis, that and president obama's objection to visiting the border, that it would be just a photo opportunity. later, more rockets leaving gaza. many more israeli air strikes on gaza. and now breaking news. new military moves preparing for the possibility of sending ground troops into gaza. we'll are the latest from our ben wedeman, who is there. everybody knows that. well, did you know words really can hurt you?

last night we talked about how politics is making already contentious issue, immigration, into a quagmire. we showed president obama complaining about the political posturing defending his decision not to visit the border, saying a photo op is no institution for real action. we also show you'd texas governor rick perry, there with the president yesterday, who once defended using tax money to educate undocumented kids.

now conspiracy theories how the president may be behind the kids coming here. keeping them honest, a look at the president's sudden disdain for photo ops and an update on governor perry, defending a statement that he made that he still can't provide any factual evidence for. i want to start with the governor. this is him last month on fox news talking about the border crisis, and in his mind, a possible, possible reason for the recent influx of undocumented immigrants. >> you either have an incredibly inept administration or they're in on this somehow. i hate to be conspiratorial. how do you move that many people from central america across mexico and then into the united states without there being a fairly coordinated effort? >> well, we just showed the train. but he is not saying, suggesting perhaps a conspiracy by the administration to bring about a situation that has done little for the administration except make it look pretty bad. in any case, governor perry offered no facts to back up that hint of conspiracy, not then, not ever. he did say something during an

interview with cnn's indicate ba balduas. >> you said it was incredibly inept or they're in on this somehow. after your meeting today with the president, which one is it, governor? >> well, i don't know. and that's the reason i asked that question a month ago was why haven't we had any more action out of this administration? and, you know, again, the president has come to texas. the president was gracious and allowed me to give him my insight on this. and i appreciate that. but the fact is he still hasn't acted. and so actions are really important in this process. >> but words are important here as well. as you're saying, as you think, as republicans believe that the president's words in talking about the dream act previously, that has sent the wrong message to central america. so words do matter in this

debate. do you really honestly believe, as you said in the interview last month that the administration might be in on this somehow? i mean, you're suggesting there is some kind of conspiracy here. >> no. what i'm suggesting is that this administration and their words and their actions or the lack thereof are part of the problem. i think you're putting the words of conspiracy in my mouth, which i did not say. >> no, you actually did say "i hate to be conspiratorial." >> and i hate to be conspiratorial. i hate to be conspiratorial. i did not say i was. >> all right. let me just explain how this works. in colloquial english, when you say for example i hate to make unfounded accusations, it means you're making an unfounded accusation. or you said. this i hate to make up stories i can't back up, but -- it means you're making up a story you can't actually back up. that seems to be the case here. now let's turn to the president.

on his explanation for not going to the border, listen. >> there is nothing that is taking place down there that i am not intimately aware of and briefed on. this isn't theater. this is a problem. i'm not interested in photo ops. i'm interested in solving a problem. >> so what is strange than is much of what the president does is create photo ops. he does it on the campaign trail, and he certainly does it as president of the united states. in fact, earlier in that very trip, he was on the trip that he was on, he had a photo op at a pool table in denver, and that's just one of them. take a look. the president meeting with regular folks in regular places. those are photo ops, some of the many recent photo ops with the president. he does plenty of them. every president does. some are goofy, some

self-serving, others are purely political. others are more than, that far more. the president rallying the people to put a man on to the moon, for instance. calling the soviet union to tear down the berlin wall. the president sending a message of to the perpetrators of 9/11. you can call each and every one of them photo ops. none of these presidents had to go to those locations. kennedy could have sent lbj. reagan could have spoken from the oval office, bush from "the situation room." president obama could have sent the fema director. but he and they chose otherwise because they, like all presidents, knew that being there, simply being there would focus attention on something that deserved attention in a way that only the presidents can. joining us is texas democratic congressman henry cuellar and antonio vargas, writer and director of "undocumented" which eyewitness news reporter cnn this weekend. congressman, you said this would be the president's katrina moment. that really how you see his trip to your state? and was it in your opinion a big mistake for him not to go to the boarder? >> well, first of all, i think

any leader is going to be defined on how he or she will handle our crisis. and that is certainly a humanitarian crisis. listen, i've been able to go and talk to the young kids that have been coming across. and when you talk to somebody like amelia, a 9-year-old from honduras or miguel, a 14-year-old from el salvador, and you see, you know, the pain and the hunger and the fear that they have in their faces, i think somebody should take a personal look at that. and number two, you know, certainly we have to thank the border patrol for doing a great job under the circumstances. and number three, my area is a very poor community. it's a border community. we don't have a lot of money. but i can tell you the churches and the nonprofits have been working so hard to provide humanitarian care. and i think a leader should be able to see this firsthand. >> congressman, i understand someone from the white house actually called you up, angry that you were criticizing the president publicly. what did they say? >> well, let me put it this way.

i thought we had a very construct, positive conversation. i'm still calling for the president to come down to the border. apparently he didn't do it on this visit. but the door is open for him to go down there. my community leaders, my churches and other folks have asked me why did the president not come down to the border. that's all i'm asking. i'm not asking for anything else. come down to the border and just see it for yourself. if it's not important, then why he is asking us for $3.7 billion of help? and i want to be supportive of the president on that funding. >> i got to push you, though. can you give any detail of what -- i know you don't want to say who called you from the white house. did they yell at you? you say it was constructive dialogue. clearly they're not happy at you being on television talk out. what can you -- can you say anything that they said? >> let me put it this way. i think they're very smart. they're not going to yell at a member of congress who sits in

appropriations there are lots more of that. so there was no yelling. there were conversations. but, again, he will say this. that, again, i'm still saying what i've been saying. this is a humanitarian crisis. what is wrong by having the president go down there? he was only 242 miles from the border when he was in austin. he was only 72 miles from lackland affect where i've been at to see the young kids there. he was only 72 miles. air force can do it in 15 minutes or less. >> it also makes no sense. they do -- the president does photo ops all the time. to say he is not doing it because it's a photo op doesn't make much sense to me. you take issue with the way governor perry has treated this situation and immigration more broadly? >> well, i mean, i'm sorry, did governor perry just say he wanted to send the national guard here? i mean, i've been here now for a few hours. for what? is the governor afraid of teddy bears? of these kids? what are we afraid of here?

i just find it so tragic, really. the kind of leadership that is happening in texas with governor perry. right? you have a governor that keeps -- >> do you think more personnel are needed on to the border not just for border security, but to deal with this influx, jose? >> well, i mean, the thing is we're conflating -- governor perry has been conflating these two issues, right? governor perry with other republican leaders have been saying that the surge has happened because president obama has not enforced the law. i'm sorry. the same president obama that has deported two million people in five years? the president is enforcing the law. that's why a lot of advocates have been calling him deporter in chief. and yet governor perry has been taking advantage of that, conflating immigration reform and the lack of action and solution there with this humanitarian crisis. and let me just say this, right? governor perry three years ago lost the primary, right, the

republican party when he said that how can you not have a heart for these undocumented students in texas? where is governor perry's heart when it comes to these refugees in his state? what is the solution here? >> and he quickly backed away from that statement. finally, congressman, you have been very critical of the 2008 legislation that expedited the deportations from kids from countries that border the u.s., mexico, and canada, not from countries that don't like honduras and guatemala. you voted for that legislation, though. what happened? >> the thing is, we have now seen the smuggling organizations that probably make more than $240 million a month taking advantage of an incentive, saying that if you come in and then you're put in and taken somewhere else and you to wait for two years for a hearing, i don't think that's the right approach. >> would you like to see that bill repealed? >> no, no, no, no. let me be very clear about this. i do not want to the see the

human trafficking bill repealed. i just want to make sure that everybody is treated the same contiguous and noncontiguous countries. i want to make sure that the asylum, the credible fear, all those protections, the due process are strengthened under the proposal that we're looking at. >> congressman, i appreciate your time. jose antonio vargas as well. thanks. just ahead tonight we have breaking news in israel. the military has called up about 30,000 reserve troops. plus, why a california community doesn't want this man to live in their town. or anywhere close to it. we'll explain ahead. ♪ ♪ build! we're investing big to keep our country in the lead. ♪ load! we keep moving to deliver what you need. and that means growth, lots of cargo going all around the globe. cars and parts, fuel and steel, peas and rice, hey that's nice! ♪ norfolk southern what's your function? ♪ ♪ helping this big country move ahead as one ♪ ♪ norfolk southern how's that function? ♪

breaking news in israel

tonight. the military has called up close to 30,000 reservists, according to a spokesman for the israeli defense forces. the call-up will allow israel to mobilize a ground defensive as soon as possible if needed. president obama spoke to israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu by phone. the white house says he reiterated israel's right to defend itself against rocket attacks by gaza militants. tonight a ceasefire seems a long, long way off. is what it looked like in gaza this morning. israel's military said they hit more than 100 targets overnight. at least 81 palestinians have been killed since israel began air strikes this week. this funeral was for a young girl who died just this morning. officials say 22 palestinian children have been killed so far. hamas, which controls gaza isn't backing down. its rockets are reaching deeper into israel. [ siren ] air raid siren there's blaring in jerusalem and other israeli cities throughout the day. in tel aviv, people ran for

cover. israel's iron dome has intercepted many of the rockets fired from gaza, but not all of them. some homes were damaged and destroyed in beersheba and other cities in southern israel. two israeli soldiers were wounded. senior international correspondent ben wedeman joins us now from gaza city. i understand i've been reading your tweets just in the last 45 minutes or so. there has been activity tonight. what has gone on? >> yes, anderson. we've heard incoming artillery fire from the sea along the gaza coastline, at least the gaza city coastline. we also understand that in some of the neighborhoods inland from here, there has also been air strikes. there was an air strike on a seaside coffee shop as well. we've heard lots of ambulances as well. so it definitely looks like there is a pickup in the level of activity. that follows a rather odd evening. we saw multiple rockets being fired into israel from the late

afternoon and into the evening. and normally, what happens is there is a very quick response. but nothing happened. nothing came. and people here in gaza, they know these patterns. and they're starting to worry. of course, we have heard all this talk about a ground incursion by israeli forces. and that is what people expect next. i was to the north of here in a town called beithanun that they should leave that area. it has nearly 100 people in it. it's an area close to the border, one from which rockets are occasionally fired and always there are air strikes back. but one man told me even if i could go, where would i go? i have nowhere to stay. i'm just going stay put in my house and hope i'll weather this storm. but a storm seems to be coming. >> israel obviously talked about the targeted nature about a lot of these rocket attacks. we just saw a little girl being buried this morning.

what accounts for that? >> they're targeting. they know what targets they're hitting. however, the problem is as i've seen in multiple instances here over the years and certainly in the last three days is that they know the house they want to hit. they know the person they'd like to hit as well. but that person always has a family, a wife, children, parents living in the house. now the israelis have this system called the knock on the roof where they make a phone call, oftentimes to female members of the family saying you have five minutes to leave the house. leave for the sake of your children. but there is one instance at a house we actually went to soon after this house was hit, they didn't hit in five minutes or ten minutes. and eventually the family went back in the house. and then it got hit. and seven people were killed. you can talk all about smart weapons as much as you would like. but at the end of the day, these

are high explosives being used in very crowded areas. anderson? >> all right, ben wedeman, we appreciate you joining us. thanks very much. up next, what would you do if a judge ordered a serial rapist to move into your neighborhood, despite the objections of the district attorney? well, a california community is vowing to drive this convicted rapist out. we'll have the story. plus, new details tonight about the alleged abuse a 12-year-old detroit boy says he endured before he was found in his dad's basement after being missing for 11 days. and john walsh joins us ahead.

hey, welcome back. in crime and punishment tonight, a california community is outraged, vowing to drive out

their newest neighbor. his crimes are infamous in the state. he is a serial rapist who has been in and out of prison. each time he has been released, he has gone on to rape again. at the state mental institution where he has been confined since his last conviction, he was considered a sexually violent predator. nothing, nothing in his history suggests he has been rehabilitated. still, a judge thought it was good idea to release him over the objections of the los angeles district attorney. now that same judge decided where the serial rapist would live. and now that he is in his court-assigned home, the reception has been anything but welcome. stephanie elam reports. >> you should never have been let loose! >> you can't live here! and we haven't forgotten. >> reporter: pillowcase news line the fence outside of this unremarkable house on a lonely stretch of dirt road. >> it's our money. it's your money. it's all of our taxpayer money. i mean, that is absurd. it's bad enough that this sicko is here. >> reporter: the focus of this community's attention is the newest resident, christopher evans hubbart, who arrived yesterday afternoon to a crowd of people protesting his being

here. >> our goal is to finish what we started. and that's to keep him out. they delivered him, but it doesn't mean we have to keep him here. >> reporter: but christopher evans hubbart isn't the only name for this man. the other, the pillowcase rapist. the moniker for his penchant for covering his victims' heads with a pillowcase and raping them. he admitted sexually assaulting up to 40 women through the 1970s and '80s. 40 women. hubbart served six years in jail and was released in 1979. prosecutors say he then raped another 23 women. after serving two more prison sentences for rape and burglary, hubbart was paroled in 1993. part of that parole included a psychological evaluation, which led to his parole being revoked. instead, he was sent to a state mental hospital. psychiatrists testify that due to a mental disorder, hubbart had a high risk of reoffending. >> this man is now in his 60s. he is in his 60s. do you think at all he has the

same appetite to commit these crimes as he did before? >> oh, yes. he is noncurable. >> reporter: last year hubbart petitioned for his unconditional release. los angeles county officials were stunned when a judge in northern california, the place of hubbart's last known rape, ruled that the sex offender be placed where he grew up, l.a. county. >> he is not living in a cage. he is going to be roaming around. and that's the problem. and that's how rapists attack. that's how he attacked in the past. >> reporter: under state release rules, hubbart is wearing an electronic monitor, has a curfew, and for now around the clock security keeping an eye on him in the house. they also take him to his weekly psychologist visits. >> i don't want to say he is euphoric, but he is optimistic and hopes he can reingrate back into society and live a normal life. >> reporter: hubbart could not be reached for comment. but the people in this rural community are aiming to make him as uncomfortable as possible so that the serial rapist will leave. [ honking ] >> we are the unwelcoming welcome committee. >> reporter: sharon, who says

she was raped as a child, lives in the next house over. >> having this man next to me is a terrible trigger for all that ugly stuff that happened to me. i won't be able to come out of my house now. every noise that i hear, i'm going to be on high alert. that's not living. i feel now that we're basically the prisoners. >> reporter: these women vow to keep vigil outside of the house until hubbart leaves. >> hubbart fears strong women. he goes after the weak. he fears us. >> reporter: stephanie elam, cnn, palmdale, california. >> john walsh has spent much of his life tracking down criminals that target women and children. he is now the newest member of the cnn family. he joins me tonight. >> the pillowcase rapist. this guy, 40 rapes that we know about that he was convicted of. and yet he gets out. what do you make of it? >> well, i'm a great advocate for undetermined civil confinement. that means if a guy is a child killer or a horrible serial rapist, a serial pedophile, he

may be sentenced to 15 years, but at that time they can decide whether he is fit to be released into society, and then they can keep him indefinitely. sometimes in a mental facility, not as secure as a real prison. >> but you're talking, though, in crimes where people can't be cured, where people- where rehabilitation doesn't work. >> or where psychologist says this is a terrible danger to society. the state law says he can only serve 15 years, and he needs to be paroled. but he is such a danger, he is actually a health menace to the safety and security of children or women or whatever. so this guy had served some time. and of course, as you know, he was released previously and admitted to raping violently at least 20 women while he was out for that two-year period and now is back in. and now, against the pleas of all the victims, the district attorney, many, many people, a judge decided to put him in a halfway house in los angeles county.

and here is a guy who brags about the 40 plus rapes that he got away with. >> the pillowcase rapist is going to have a gps ankle monitor 24 hours a day. he'll have supervision, you know, for six months to a year. that's not enough, you're saying? >> anderson, what happens in year two, year three? a guy who raped violently 40 women, jokes about it and admits that he did it? the u.s. marshals say right now after we passed the adam sex offender act that there are at least 100,000 level 3 rapist and pedophiles, that's the worst of the worst who have broken or violated their parole or probation or cut their ankle bracelets off at large right now. 100,000 rapists level 3 sex offenders at large. >> that's incredible. >> who is going to monitor this guy four years from now? do you think he is going to go to work for bank of america or become a college professor? what has he done his whole life? >> right. >> what did he do when he got

out the first time? rape 20 more women. if you don't care about the fact that many of these guys are incurrable, and that you're going to release them back into society, then you really have to figure a way to track them or keep them out of society, a anderson. how many people do you have to rape in the state of california before they say you have given up the ability to walk on the same streets you. can't breathe the same air. >> we all think somebody breaks off their ankle monitor, they're instantly picked up. but there are plant who have done that. >> a little tiny sheriff in a little tiny county with a five man or woman squad. the guy cuts off the ankle bracelet from montana, where is he going to go? moves to new york, or l.a., who is looking for him? nobody is looking for him. i think the people of california, particularly los angeles county have to be outraged. and people need to know who this judge is who said you know what? he may not be cured. he served his time. i'm going to make sure he is monitored. what happens when that judge retires and this guy is still alive? we think those 40 victims are thinking today? that he didn't -- that he only

served that little amount of time and they're going to put him become on the streets and pay for where he lives? it's really unacceptable. >> john walsh, thank you so much. >> thank you. >> as i said, john is now part of the cnn family. we are very excited to have him here. his new show "the hunt with john walsh" premiers this sunday on cnn at 9:00 p.m. he'll be back in the program tomorrow night. don't miss it. up next, the 12-year-old boy who was reported missing for 11 days only to be found in his family's basement there are new details being released on alleged abuse he faced from his dad and stepmother. also, toxicology test results were release today in the death of a georgia toddler who was left in a hot car. details ahead. ♪ start a team.

360 following tonight the 12-year-old boy found in the basement of his dad's home says he was put there as punishment. new details revealed in court documents. the boy claims his father and stepmother forced him to do a grueling workout twice a day every day, 200 sit-ups, 100 push-ups, 100 jumping jacks, curls on each arm with a 25-pound weight and thousands of revolutions on the elliptical machine. if he did not finish in less than an hour, he would have to do it all again. the boy says it was his stepmother who put him in the basement after accusing him of lying about his evening workout. the boy claims his father abused him for the entire two years he lived with him, and accuses the father of hitting him many times with a pvc pipe. it was two weeks ago when hln's nancy grace broke the news on tv

to his father. remember the moment? take a look. >> charlie, we're getting reports that your son has been found in your basement. sir? mr. bothell? >> what? >> yeah. we are getting reports that your son has been found alive in your basement. >> what? >> yes. that's -- if you can hand me that wire very quickly. yeah. we're getting that right now from -- from, yeah. how could your son be alive in your basement? >> ah, ah, ah -- [ bleep ], ah -- i have no -- i have no idea. >> all right.

so later that same night the father talked with a local tv station. >> i'm shocked. because i looked like i said, the detroit police looked. the fbi looked. repeatedly been through here. they've been in my house until 3:00 in the morning on occasions and all night. when the lieutenant kept me and my family at the police station from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. the detroit police and the task force were here all night, executing search warrants. so to say that, you know, for anybody to imply that i somehow knew that my son was in the basement, it's absurd and it's wrong. i love my son. i'm glad that he is home and he is going to have the great future that he deserves to have. >> joining us now with more on the bizarre case. obviously some heavy allegations now about the dad. any evidence that the stepmom was involved? >> well, child services telling us in court documents that there are indications, claims of physical and verbal abuse. the boy is saying that the stepmom punched him and that she told him things like i can make you disappear and, quote, i know

where the sharp knives are. so there is still investigating to do on her as well. >> i still don't understand. are they saying that this little boy was in the basement the entire time? do we know? >> they're indicating that they have no reason to disbelieve that he was there much of the time. but they're saying he might have moved. and we're not talking about when he went upstairs and foraged around for snacks and things to drink. there are indications that he wasn't there the whole time. for example, remember, there was no signs of where did he go to the bathroom and this kind of thing. even beyond that, they said they'll be telling you more when their investigation is complete. >> where is the boy now? >> he is in the custody of his biological mother. but he is living with some other relatives. and there are two other siblings, they're living some place else too. but the court today ordered a new psychological evaluation of him to see whether he is up to any visits from his father. >> are there -- still no charges have been filed, is that right? >> not yet. the investigation is ongoing.

and the district attorney, it will be up to her to decide once see what's the police have to determine whether anyone will be charged, whether he will be charged, he and the stepmom. >> but we're still not clear whether the family knew he was in the basement. or does it -- does it seem like they didn't know? or we don't know? >> well, police say that it was the -- the boy says it was the stepmother who put him down there behind this big 55 gallon drum and told him don't you move. i don't care what you hear upstair, you stay where you are. and also remember, the father in these documents has acknowledged that he used a pvc pipe to discipline his son. but he denies that he abused him. >> all right. bizarre. susan candiotti that poor little boy. thanks so much. we'll have more on that. also, president obama said -- he said so sue me. now house republicans are. details next.
