10:01 am
the judge set bontd for zimmerman at $150,000 at a hearing yesterday. that means his family needs to post $15,000 to get him out while he waits for trial. zimmerman has called it it self-defense. he took the stand and offered this apology to the family. >> i want to say i apologize for your son. i did not know how young he was. >> he wants to leave the state while he waits for the friel for security reasons but no decision has been made. six agents have left the secret service as a result of the colombia prostitute scandal. secret service director mark sullivan has promised a p complete investigation into what happened in those hotel rooms in cartagena. the agency says there are now 12
10:02 am
employees implicated in the scandal. earlier i spong with congressman elijah cummings. >> i think they're weeding out the bad apples, and i don't think there are that many, by the way, but i also thank know that they can perhaps do even better than what they've been doing. in my conversations with the director, he's made it clear that he would leave no stone unturned, that he would look at this thing up and down. he's looking at every single person that had anything to do with this trip. that's why the most latest person -- by the way, the new 12th person that they just found out about was as a result of that expanded investigation. >> 11 members of the military are also part of this investigation. the fbi is back at work this morning tearing up a concrete basement in manhattan. that ire looking for evidence in the 33-year-old disappearance of etan patz. he was 6 years old when he disappeared on his way to school
10:03 am
back in 1979. >> i don't want to quantify cautiously optimistic. again, there is probable cause to believe that there is evidence at this location regarding the etan patz disappearan disappearance. whenever law enforcement executes a search warrant, it's hopeful they're going to find what they're looking for. >> his disappearance raised awareness to a national level. his face is the first to have appeared on a milk carton. helicopters hovered over the scene this morning as officials tried to find a few bodies that were still missing. it's believed that bad weather played a part in the accident. anti-government protests in bahrain could disrupt a major sporting event there this weekend. the government is cracking down on the formula 1 auto race.
10:04 am
it was postponed twice last year because of the protests. >> the l.a. county coroner said heart falgure led to the death of conservative blogger andrew breitbart who was connected to controversy surrounding anthony weaner and shirley sherrod. he had an enlarged heart and heart disease. he died last month at age 43. a rare baseball card for what some may call a bargain price, that is if you consider $1.2 million a bargain. take a look. here's the cord. a 1909 honor news wagner card. it's the holy grail of baseball cards. who knew. last year one of the cards went for $2.8 million. there are only 60 left but few are in ready good condition. some of you will get a little sunshine. others perhaps a little bit of rain. if you're about to head out, you
10:05 am
might want to wait because reynolds is here with your weekend forecast. hey, there. >> hi. it's going really umbrella weather. not so much in places like atlanta but along the coast from, say, new england clear down to florida. there be a chance of scattered showers. south florida, a chance of severe thunderstorms. we're going to be talking about that in just a few moments. we're going to see that. even alligator alley getting in on the action and of course there's more to come as we make our yeah into the midday hours. we do expect quite a few delays around the country. not just on the east coast but the west coast too. also fun to have some delays out there. all right, back to you, randi. more in a bit. >> thank you, reynolds. >> you bet. coming up next, we'll take you live to colombia for the latest on the secret service prostitution scandal. next week, it goes to the supreme kofrmt i'll talk with the former speak f or the arizona house who stands by the law and says it's been derailed
10:06 am
10:08 am
10:09 am
one of the most controversial provisions that called on the police to check on anyone that they detained, suspected of being in the states illegally. curt adams was arizona speaker of the house when the bill passed. good morning to you. >> good morning. >> first of all, what did you think of the court's original ruling? >> i think the court erred. it erred because it says arizona does not have a right to jointly enforce federal immigration laws. the key point in the court's ruling is whether north federal immigration law preempts the state of arizona from also enforcing that law and we think that's where they made the error and hopfully that's where the supreme court will fix the error. >> this is where you said the officers are allowed. any reasonable suspicion can be derived only through the investigation of another violation or crime. those whether are concerned that
10:10 am
law enforcement can simply walk up to a person and say can i see your papers should keep this in mind. arizona has plenty to do fighting the effects of illegal immigration. it's a shame that because of our efforts to protect our citizens and uphold federal law, we now have to fight ignorance too. >> when this got off the rails is in the very beginning when the president came out a with statement that was completely inaccura inaccurate, that a family going to get an ice cream cone could somehow be arrested. that's sim will not the case. the charges in this bill have proven to be completely unfounded. the underlying bill has stronger provisions than the under lying federal bill and this fallacy was revealed when the federal government in their lawsuit against arizona did not even sue on the issue of civil rights or racial profiling.
10:11 am
they focused their arguments strictly on the technical legal argument of whether north federal law precements arizona. and so when these charges against the state that this would lead to racial profiling first came out, they were incorrect. and in many people's minds, they poisoned what 1070 actually does, which is simply this. when a person is arrested, an officer must make a reasonable attempt when practical and only when there's reasonable suspicion to check immigration status. that's the core provision of this law that i hope will be upheld by the supreme court. >> the law really, though, what it wants to do is make arizona so inhospitable to illegal immigrants that they leave, but couldn't that also have a negative impact on the state? >> no. that's not what the intent of the law is. the intent of the law is simply to enforce existing law and to improve public safety in the state of arizona. one third of all the illegal
10:12 am
entries in this country come through our state. we have violent human smugglers and drug smugglers that are operating within the border regions of the state of arizona. this creates a public safety problem for our citizens. what animates arizonians about illegal immigration is nothing more than a public safety problem that we face. that is what we are concerned about. that's -- you know, 1070 is what happens, frankly, when the federal government leaves a border state like arizona to fend for ourselves. we're doing our best to address the public safety problems as a result of the lack of the federal government enforcing its laws and securing our border. >> but if the illegal immigrants are living there in fear, how can you say that's not the goal of the law to get them out of state? why have the law to begin with? >> i don't know that illegal immigrants are living here in fear. >> well, they're fearing being stopped and fearing being kicked out of arizona. >> no.
10:13 am
what we are focusing on is the criminal element, when a person is arrested, when it's reasonable and practical and when it does not interfere with the course of another, when it protects witnesses of crime. that is only the case when a plirch would have the option under this bill to ask a person's immigration status. now, they're not -- this is not a new immigration scheme. this is not new law. this is simply enforcing existing federal law with all the requisite protections to protect individuals' civil rights and against racial profiling. >> all right. let me ask you this. one of the arguments against the law is it takes the law of immigration enforcement out of the hands of government. you are now running for congress. would being in washington change your mind on the federal versus the state argument? >> no. the federal government does have the primary responsibility to enforce immigration law. states are able to supplement that and cooperate with the
10:14 am
federal government just like in any other area of law. this is not something new. what i would like to see as a person running for congress is more federal resources on the federal boarder to secure or border region itself. there's no reason why arizona's 370-mile-long border should be left as vulnerable as it is. we simply need more federal resources. and when we do that, when we fundamentally secure that border, i think we'll see that 80% of this issue revolving around illegal immigration is resolved. >> kirk adams, nice to have you on the program this morning. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> special agents bringing disgrace on the secret service. we'll go in focus next with the agency's first female director we'll talk about the culture and the work that they do. stay with us.
10:15 am
no matter where you go. no matter what you do. when you're living with moderate to severe crohn's disease, there are times it feels like your life... revolves around your symptoms. if you're tired of going around in circles, it may be time to ask your gastroenterologist about humira. because with humira, remission is possible. humira has been proven to work for adults who have tried other medications... but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief. and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer, have happened.
10:16 am
blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure have occurred. before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. if you're tired of going around in circles, get headed in a new direction. ask your gastroenterologist about humira today. remission is possible. secret service agents keeps growing. it's just a fallout of what happened inside this colombian hotel with prostitutes.
10:17 am
let's go to drew. good morning to you. secret service director mark sullivan has ordered a comprehensive investigation with hotel staff and the alleged escorts. now you're getting word that the investigation is expanding to a second hotel? >> reporter: yeah. if you thought this was going away, it's only expanding. i'm looking at the hilton hotel, the second hotel in involved in this where some of the secret service agents stayed. the colombian authorities have been trying to track down all of the 21 women who were involved to get their stories. and, randi, that's not as hard as you might think. women who are brought to hotels, they must register at the hotel on entry. so they have their names and they're able to go out and find them, and it looks like the colombian authorities are looking for each and every one of them to see what their stories are.
10:18 am
>> it's going be interesting to hear their story, drew. because some of the secret service and military members are saying, what, they didn't realize these were prostitutes? is that possible? >> reporter: yeah. that's what has been report lid said by some of these agents. i can tell you we went to the club involved last night. we met some of the women involved. and there's just no way. it would be impossible unless these guys were a bunch of hayseeds and didn't realize what was going on. we went to the disco area where they took these women for dancing and drinks, and there you are approached by many different men, offering you access to women. so it seemed inconceivable that anybody did not realize what was taking place here. i find that hard to believe if what is reported to have been said has been said. >> and president obama, as you know, he was briefed on the investigation yesterday, on friday. i mean how is this playing
10:19 am
there? how are colombians reacting to this? >> reporter: you nknow, i havent talked to every single colombian. they have a ho-hum attitude. they understand it's a security breach that's a big deal. but sex tourism from the united states, it's not a big deal. it's quite open. what they are interested in is how the u.s. reacts to this and how, if anybody determines, that there might have been access to any of the president's information. specifically what i'm looking for, randi, what was the pickup line? hey, i'm secret service working for obama? that would indicate there was some sort of security breach. and there are some indications from at least cab drivers and such that that was what was happening. >> yeah. it would be interesting to see
10:20 am
what the women say and what they were told. drew, thank you very much. we have been going in focus this morning on the secret service. not just the scandal in colombia. we're also taking a closer look at the job and the people behind the scenes. after all, these are the people who protect the president and are prepared to take a bullet. one of those dedicated agents is barbara riggs. circulate e was a field agent, later became the first woman to become a field director. good morning, barbara. nice to have you on the show here. you've been out there. is this colombia thing an aberration? >> yes, it is an aberration. i have conducted advances throughout the world, throughout the united states, traveled with the men and women of the secret service, and i have never witnessed anything like this in my career.
10:21 am
>> these agents, as we understand it, were part of this advance team going in before the pretty gets there. can you help us understand what those responsibilities were at the time? >> well, i have not -- i haven't receive nod official briefings on this because i am a private citizen, but i doubt that they were part of the advanced team because if they came in country only 12 hours or a day before the visit, the advance team is on ground -- on the ground long before that. my sense is that they were probably coming in to support the security perimeters that were going to be established prior to the president arriving. >> we have heard quite a bit about the culture of the secret service. now i'm sure it's changed quite a bit, especially when women started becoming agents in 1971. can you tell us a little bit about what it means to be an agent and to have that kind of responsibility in your hands?
10:22 am
>> well, the responsibility is huge. it's awesome. you're given the responsibility of developing and implementing a plan to protect the most powerful person in the world, and that is our job. our job is to go out and design and implement a security plan wherever it is, wherefore it is in the world, the united states, washington, d.c. so, that the president can conduct business of the united states of america and to conduct foreign policy and domestic policy. and that is what our job is. >> you know, it's been said that if female agents would never have gotten themselves into a mess like this with one and that there should be more female agents in the secret service. what do you say to that? >> well, no agent should be involved in situation like this because it brings shame not only to the agency, but we're
10:23 am
representing the united states of america when we're overseas. no agent should be involved in any conduct as has been reported. >> do you think, though, there should be more women in the agency? >> well, of course, being a woman i would love to see more women in the agency. but it's a tough requirement. it requires you to be away from home inordinate days and hours. it's a demanding job. it's not a 9-to-5 job. it's a 24-hour-a-day job. there are men and women who don't want to make commitment. the people who do make the commitment, that i know in the secret service, have made the commitme commitment. they carry out the critical national security mission that has been given to the secret service. >> barbara riggs, it was a pleasure to speak with you. thank you very much. i enjoyed your insight as well. >> thank you, randi. >> we have focused on the secret
10:24 am
service and their responsibilities. they also protect the president, first family, vice president, and visiting heads of state. but there's another part of the secret service you may not know about, protecting the nation's financial infrastructure by reducing losses due to counterfeit currency, financial, and electronic crimes and identity theft. they have confiscated around $300 million in counterfeit currency. fbi investigators are back to digging up a manhattan basement. we'll take you live to new york city coming up.
10:26 am
a criminal is just a number when he walks behind walls but to his family he's still dad. she helped kids stayed connected to their incarcerated parents through video messages and since then she's expanded her program to five more states. holy robinson peete was so moved by her efforts that she decided to see her work up close. >> when i was involved with heroes in 2008, carolyn's messages project just touched my heart. when you think about the people in this world that need help, the last people on that list are the children of incarcerated parents. that to me is why i'm coming out here today. >> approaching destination on the left. >> so what are the total number of messages delivered by the messages project now? >> we're right at 9,000. >> wow. that's a lot of children that
10:27 am
have this opportunity. >> gate, please. >> so tell me about this facility. >> this is a maximum security prison, and it is the pilot for california. good morning. how are you? i'm carolyn. talk from the heart. in 15 minutes, we're going to give you a signal. are we ready to roll? here we go. >> hi, kids. i know that you're angry with me and you should be angry with me. the difficulties that you've faced over the years, that's my fault. hold on a second. >> you can see that sadness, that guilt that they had for whatever decision they made that has impacted their children their entire lives. >> when you set these fathers down in front of that camera, they're dad. >> i can't imagine with all the things going on in these children's lives, what this
10:28 am
means to them. on behalf of all of them, thank you so much. >> and remember cnn heroes like carolin are all chosen from people you tell them about. to nominate someone who's making a difference in their community go to cnn.com. their nomination could help others. >> coming up, she said she was bullied online, on facebook. now this georgia teen's perrins are sued her classmates. more on why coming up next. you're watching "cnn saturday morning" where news doesn't take the weekend off.

10:32 am
a 33-year-old case. etan patz disappeared when he was only 6 years old. our susan candiotti is live on the scene. investigators have been painstakingly searching this basement. are they making any progress? >> reporter: it seems as though they are, but it's a long tedious job. and just to remind everyone. where i am standing is just a half a block away from where etan patz and his family lived when he disappeared, and his parents are still living there. so this is a basement that is being dug up in a red brick building that is just behind me. fbi agents already brought up -- after using jam hammers, brought up chunks of concrete. rye nout they are sifting, raking, shoveling through all kinds of dirt in the basement floor, and they're looking for any differences in color and texture to see whether that soil had been moved over the years. they tell me that they're
10:33 am
digging about six feet below the ground surface to see whether again there's any indication of anything unusual as they look for any evidence that the boy might have been buried there. i'm told that if there is something there, they say they think they're going to find it, randi. >> and the fbi, susan, they were led to this from old and new information and they question a carpenter whose shop is at that location. is he a suspect, and what does he say? >> reporter: the fbi is not naming any suspects and that man is among many being questioned. the reason they questioned him, he made a very odd comment. he said, what tif the body was moved. that in addition to other information they had about him as well as bringing in a cadaver dog that made a positive hit, that's what led them in part to
10:34 am
get a search warrant to start this dig. however, mr. miller's attorney denies that this man had anything to do with the boy's disappearance. we do know from his family and an author that has spoken with the family that mr. miller has been on and off the authority's radar for quite some time, they've known him for a long time but they have a renewed interest bus his lawyer says he did nothing. >> mr. miller has been cooperating with this investigation for over 30 years and hi's continues to cooperate on multiple occasions and i'm going to assist him in cooperating to fullest extent possible. >> reporter: now, the attorney acknowledges that mr. miller did know this boy for a long period of time and, in fact, even etan's parents have said that he had befriended the boy. they knew him very well. and it also turns out that he had been in the basement with etan the day before he
10:35 am
disappeared. now, there's also been another suspect who was named as one for years. his name is jorge ramos. however, he's never been charged in this case, although he was civilly sued by the family and found responsible for his death. he's still serving out a sentence in an unrelated case. >> susan candiotti. thank you very much. i want to talk an case of bullying now. the parents of a 14-year-old teen are suing after kids set up a facebook page showing their daughter in an unflattering light. the classmates then requested friending from the entire school. they say their daughter was traumatized by the ordeal. even though this sounds more like cyber bullying and that libel, they were forced to take this route. joining me now is 14-year-old alex boston along with her
10:36 am
father chris and their attorney natalie woodward. thank you all for being here. alex, i'm so thrilled you're here. you're so brave to come and talk about it with us. tell us about the facebook pamg and how you found out about it? >> my friends -- it was like the day of field day and they were talking about it saying, alex, why did you say this, why did you say that. i said somebody must have halked my facebook page. that's how it all started. >> when you saw the pictures, they had shown these distorted pictures of you. how did that make you feel? >> it was during study hall. we were taking pictures on apps, i forget the app but it destroyed your face for fun but he must have kept it and used it. >> what did you do right away? did you tell your parents or -- >> yeah, i told my parents. >> what did you think might happen? >> i didn't think it wu going go this far, but -- >> and was the bullying just
10:37 am
online on the facebook page or were you bullied at school as well? >> just online. >> tell me what it feels like because you were 13 at the time. >> yeah. i was in seventh grade at the time. it kind of made me feel bad. i -- i -- >> did you want to change schools? >> no, it wasn't that bad to where i wanted to change schools. >> i want to ask your dad now. chris, what was your reaction to the facebook page when you first saw it, what some of these students were doing to your daughter? >> angry that somebody would do that. so we tried every possible route to get in touch with the kids' parents, went to the school, and found out pretty much nothing could be done and we called natalie and said what can we do to help? >> before we get to that, you went to the police. >> yes. >> what did they tell you. >> they told us that there's nothing they can do. there's no law in georgia that takes this into account. >> no criminal sanction, right? >> right. >> tell me how -- you saw with
10:38 am
your daughter coming home from school. talk to me just as parent what it was like to see her so hurt. >> it hurt to see her hurt. i mean it's -- it's not good to see your child hurt, so we tried to support her and talk to her about it and make sure that she knew we were going to try to help her. >> had you ever met the people who might be responsible for this? >> no, no. >> and, alex, who -- you don't need to name names, but were these students that you had a lot of contact with? >> one of mithem was friends sie 6 or 7. >> were they doing it to be mean? >> they said was meant to be funny. it just went farther that that. >> certainly. natalie, i want to bring you in. explain why they're suing for libel an not for cyber bullying in this case? >> there's really nothing on the
10:39 am
books for defamation in georgia. there are several states that have out of school conduct of this sofrmt georgia is not one of those. the police were not able to do anything like they would in a juvenile matter where there was a juvenile sanction on the books. >> so whatever protection there is would have to come from the school? >> the school's hands are tied also. that's one of the problems we have in georgia. the schools had no resource at all to discipline the students at all because this had happened at home while they were at home and even though it susaffected school mate and targeted a schoolmate, there was nothing thank could do. >> the photo was snapped at school and the student got a couple of days' suspension. >> there were two pictures and they got two days of ss because of that, of the pictures. >> do you thank's enough?
10:40 am
>> no. >> i didn't think so. you can take a look at them there. since georgia's not one of them and as you said, you're suing for libel. how unique the is this? >> i think it's unique. georgia house hb 310 never made it out of the committee. it was called the end to cyber bullying and it would have tied the hands of the educator's conduct. it would have to be inproduced the next session to have a chance of passage. as it stands today, the facebook page is still up, still there. the only people who can take it down would be the creator or facebook, and neither one has done it yet. >> what would you like to see happen heresome. >> i would like to have it taken down and not have a problem with it later on because now since i'm getting older, people are
10:41 am
starting to look at facebook as a tool to help see if they can hire me or not. >> so you don't want that to be on your record on facebook. >> no. >> i understand that. i this nk you have a few years before anyone is hiring you. >> i know, but still. >> i understand. and, chris, what would be it for you? >> i just want the kids to acknowledge they did it, their parents to be aware, facebook to get it down and hopefully we can get laws in georgia passed to protect other kids in the future. >> and natalie, do you think this is a winnable case? >> i do. i do. i think the has a slam-dunk case. this has defamed her character. it was done on purpose and number of the statements are true. >> alex, i'm just curious. it happens to a lot of kids. a lot of kids are bullied. what's your advice. you seem to have handled it so well. what's your advice? >> family support has been keeping me going by encourage manager e to go on without thinking and going back and think about about it. >> because it's what's in here,
10:42 am
right? it's not what these other kids are saying about you. >> yeah. >> you know that. >> yeah. >> you're a very brave beautiful young girl and i'm so happy you came on to talk about it because we do need to give it some attention. thank you. >> thank you. >> and thank you, all of you. we reached out to alex's school and haven't heard anything back. if you'd like to sound off on this story or any story about bullying, you can tweet me now or any time. use the hash ta tag #bullyingstopshere. coming up. the "discovery" voyage making its way to its final landing spot. and why mitt romney is open to hosting "saturday night live."
