today, august 11, the release date of my first novel. a murder mystery thriller, "the eleventh victim." again, i want to thank you. and i hope you like the book. and now, to oakland. and the search, tonight, desperate, for a missing 5-year-old little boy, afflicted with cerebral palsy. he vanishes into thin air from the backseat of a car. there, just outside a shoe store, at a busy, suburban shopping center. >> authorities in oakland, california, are searching for clues in the case of missing 5-year-old, hassani campbell, who is afflicted with cerebral palsy. according to reports, the family friend told cops he left hassani in his bmw, just outside the back door of the store, while he went inside the store briefly. when the friend came back out,

the boy was gone. >> there's a lot of foot traffic here. there's a lot of vehicle traffic. i asked people if they saw him. no, they didn't see him. >> the entire area was shut down by investigators. police fearful hassani may have been abducted. reportedly taking the family friend's bmw, to the police yard to search for evidence. >> called 911. take custody of him. and hopefully reunite him with his family. >> throwing out to henry kay lee, reporter with ft. the san francisco chronicle." it's very difficult for me to believe, just applying common sense, that a 5-year-old little boy, who has cerebral palsy, has braces on both legs, he can barely walk, could just walk away from the car and get lost. i don't see it. and how could others not see him being taken from that car? >> that's right, nancy. that's a very good question. so, the police are trying to see if, in fact, little hassani campbell was taken away from the

bmw that belongs to his foster parent. it's his foster dad that was trying to drop him off at his biological aunt's shoe store. the fact that no one saw him either walking around or being kidnapped is of grave concern. we don't know where he is at this moment. but police are investigating, nancy. >> to sebastian koontz, reporter with kew talk 910. thank you for being with us. it's my understanding that police are saying the foster dad has been totally cleared. >> i understand that's also the case, nancy. in fact, we that understand the bmw, the vehicle that the boy had been in, up to the point of his disappearance, is also being searched. they don't have any leads yet. it was the most recent place that the boy was seen. thus that's how they were sort of starting this search. a boy with cerebral palsy and who needs to walk with little demeanor with leg braces like this for support, is not going to be easily missed by witnesses

in the area. >> what time of the day or night did this happen, sebastian? >> it was just half 4:00 p.m. yesterday. we have had over 24 hours, searching. police were asking people, investigators, combing a two-block area. they had it shut down. helicopters. scent dogs, police dog, smelling. they went so far as to keep the patriots of a nearby restaurant inside that restaurant, so as to try and not disturb the scent that the dogs were trying to use. they didn't come up with anything. >> back to henry lee. lee joining us with "the san francisco chronicle." who called police? >> we do know that the faster dad, whose name we do not have, called police. and other people notified officers that this boy is nowhere to be found. >> what time? >> about 4:00 p.m. monday. >> what time did they call police? >> shortly after the disappearance was discovered. >> who, if anything else, it's up to you matt zarella, who

broke the story. who, if anyone else, saw the little boy in the bmw to start with? >> that's a good question, nancy. there's a lot of vehicle traffic. a lot of foot traffic. police say they haven't talked to anyone who has seen the boy. >> maybe i'm crazy, marc klaas, founder of kids klaas foundation. why do you leave a boy in a car? why do you leave a child in an unlocked car in a shopping mall? >> yesterday, i was in the bay area. it was probably the hottest day of the year so far. temperatures were in the high 80s, if they were anything. just another reason why none of this story makes sense. i think what we have to do is find the other person that saw that little boy last and start establishing time lines from that point on. i can't, for a minute, believe that anybody has been cleared in this situation yet. >> i'm not understanding the whole scenario. it doesn't make sense to me. >> no.

>> the way it all is unfolding. everybody, we are desperate, along with police and family, to find a 5-year-old little boy. he has cerebral palsy. he has braces on both legs. and he disappeared from a busy shopping center. a suburban shopping center, outside a shoe store. with me, tonight, and i know you will recognize him. lawrence carter long. he is the executive director for disabilities network of new york city. he has cerebral palsy. and once the poster boy, literally, for cerebral palsy. there he is. i remember that very well. lawrence, as always, thank you for being with us. lawrence, from what you have learned about his disability, what do you believe about the possibility that he just got out of the car and walked off? and, listen, my twins are only 21 months old. when i talk them to a store, or a -- the grocery store, they will run, two different ways.

one toward the door. one toward the dairy section. and they can easily try to disappear. >> exactly. just as any 5-year-old would do. and if you noted by the photograph that you showed there, i was a 5-year-old who wore leg braces. so, i know exactly what that's like. life is not hollywood. this is not "forrest gump." he's not going to shuck those braces and run down the street. there's some things we haven't been looking at here that haven't been asked in the usual media outlets. one thing i noticed about the establishment, is we were told that he was parked in the back. if you look at google maps or some of the news footage that's shown the establishment from the front, you'll also notice that the front entrance is wheelchair acceptable. there's no steps. if both entrances were accessible, why was the child left in back? how long was he left in back? those are the questions we need to be asking. >> the situation grows more

urgent, in a missing 5-year-old, little boy, with braces on both legs. in the oakland bay area. we are taking your calls live. >> immediately, there was five or six cap cars right after that. it was pretty quick. at that point, our customers were here. we find -- a number of our regulars ran out to see if they could find the little boy.

more than a dozen police officers have fanned out in this area, looking for 5-year-old hassani campbell. alameda county sheriff's rescue team has joined the search with dogs. police say around 4:00, they received a call for help from the 5-year-old boy's father. he told officers he drove his son to shoes of rockridge, where the boy's mother works, so he could leave the child in her car. he left the boy in the back lot of the store, while he walked around front to open the door. when he opened the door, he told police his son was gone. >> he frantically searched the neighborhood. asking people if anybody had seen his son. and nobody could find him. >> police say hassani couldn't have gone far on his own, because he suffers from cerebral palsy and wears braces on both legs. they describe him as african-american, small for his age. three feet tall. and weighs 40 pounds. he has short, black hair and

brown eyes. he was wearing a gray sweatshirt and sweat pants. police are asking people in the area to check their backyards and basements for any sign of hassani. >> they can walk up to him. talk to him. call 911, police will come. take custody of him. and hopefully reunite him with his family. >> there's a lot of foot traffic here. there's a lot of vehicle traffic. there's this business right here, a bar/restaurant, that had a lot of people outside. and that's one of the places i went and asked people if they saw him. no, they didn't see him. it's kind of notable to see a young man walking around with braces on his legislation. and nobody saw him. >> look at this little boy's face. he's only three feet tall. he has braces on both legs. he can hardly walk. and he is missing. he was apparently taken from a bmw automobile, outside of a shoe store, outside of a very

busy shopping center. right now, the search turning desperate. we are taking your calls. out to gina kay in mississippi. hi, dear. >> caller: hi. how are you tonight? >> i'm good, dear. what's your question? >> caller: i was going to tell you also that i listened to your interview with jane valez. it was stunning. it was great. >> thank you very much. >> caller: briefly, a 5-year-old in a car. think about this. was the 5-year-old ever really there? >> i've already been wondering that, gina. i'm writing it down. what's your next question? >> caller: also, why did he just park the car and take the child with him at that moment when he left? why would he park the car in one area and go to the back of the store? why not just take the child? >> i'm telling you, gina kay, mississippi, it doesn't make sense to me. but i was told, as we went to air, that they had cleared this foster father. that he was on the up aeroup. we've covered so many stories,

gina kay. where you leave the kid in the car for three minutes. you run into to get a bag of ice. you come out, and they're gone. when i'm at home in georgia, i don't leave them, the twins, in the car, in the driveway. i don't do it. if i have to go back in, i get both of them. one in this arm. one in this arm. like two, little footballs. and go back in, whether they're kicking and screaming. doesn't matter. they are not left alone in a car. nair not left alone without somebody with them. and i want to clear up the facts. back out to you, henry k. lee, with "the san francisco chronicle." gina kay's right. i keep asking, who else saw this child? a 5-year-old with leg braces on both legs. who else can place him in that car, ever, other than the foster father? >> well, that's a very good question, nancy. we have no information from the police as far as confirmed sightings of the boy. in cases i covered before, there have been instance where's

parents do not want to wake up a sleeping child. that's not to say that that's what happened here. but it could be a combination of a sleeping child, scarce parking. but whatever the case is, a relatively safer neighborhood in oakland. and now, this has happened. >> okay. so, what i'm hearing you, henry lee, translation. nobody else you know of, can place the child in the car, other than the faster father? >> that's right. however, sources close to the case are telling me there's no reason not to believe the faster father's account. >> to sebastian kunz. agree or disagree? >> everything i'm hearing, nancy, is in agreement with henry. in fact, it's sort of plays into one of the first questions i got when i reported for work at the radio station this morning. which was one listener said, why haven't our amber alert pagers gone off? it may be to the fact that the police aren't clear --

>> what about it marc klaas? >> if they don't have information, they don't call it for most missing kids. >> that's just wrong. i know that's your expertise. but that's just wrong. we're taking your calls live. 5-year-old little boy. braces on both legs. missing tonight. are you guilty of being our show's number one fan? plead your case. send us your story as to why that fan is you. if your e-mail or i-report makes air, you win an autographed copy of my new book "the eleventh victim." go to cnn.com/nancygrace.

police are asking people in the area to check their backyards and basements for any signs of hassani. investigators say they fear that he was either kidnapped or is frightened and hiding somewhere. patrons at the nearby bar and

restaurant, said they were asked by police not to leave the restaurant for about 20 minutes. >> they didn't want anyone leaving any of the businesses because that would have thrown off the scent. >> straight back to lawrence carter-long, the executive director of disabilities network of new york city. he has cerebral palsy. lawrence, what is this child up against, with cerebral palsy? >> well, i think what the child is up against, is some of the same ignorance and misunderstanding that's out there in the world at large. the questions we really need to be asking ourselves and looking at is what is really going on with this case? there's so many unanswered questions that we need to be looking at. the takeaway, though, the lesson, is whether your child has a disability or not, don't leave a 5-year-old unattended. >> strike the line. sheba, illinois. hi, sheba. >> caller: hi. i just love you, nancy. >> hey. we've been missing you. >> caller: i know. i've been ill. but i miss you so much. but i always -- >> sheba, get well.

we need you. >> caller: i always -- i always watch your show no, matter what. my question is, nancy, do you think that possibly someone saw what happened? and are afraid to talk? >> excellent question. so ron shindell, former nypd deputy inspector. what about it, ron? >> that tends to be a long shot. >> ron, how many times do you see injustice. and people just walk by like they didn't see anything. nobody knows anything. nobody saw anything. i don't find it that hard to believe. >> it's a long shot, i think, nancy. people with a 5-year-old child, especially with special needs would come forward. >> what about it? >> this is an area that's a commercial area. there's potentially surveillance

cameras in the region. the problem is, he was pulled up to the back of the shoe store. and that causes some issues. if there may or may not -- >> and henry k. lee, has the foster father taken a polygraph? >> police aren't telling us if he's taken it or not. but certainly, he's part of the investigation. cock-a-doodle-do.

(announcer) perdue perfect portions. two owners and a manager of two long island bars have an arrested for allegedly running a sex trafficking ring. authorities allege dozens of women, some as young as 17, were lured with promises of legitimate jobs. and ended up being forced into prostitution. >> richard ramos says he worked at a hair salon in the same plaza. he said he never knew about prostitution. but some of his customers are regulars there. he said it was the waitresses,

not the food, that drives the crowd. >> we know they're pretty. we know that. but they're quiet. >> the suspects under arrest, include 34-year-old antonio rivera, who is listed on the new york state sex offender registry. also listed, his sister. >> it used to be a coffee shop. actually, a really nice coffee shop. so, i'm surprised. >> richard ramos works at a hair salon in the same plaza. he says he doesn't know about the alleged prostitution. but he says some of his customers are regulars there. saying everyone seems to know it's the waitresses, not the food, that drives the crowd. >> we know they're very, very pretty. we know that. but -- >> straight out to sofia hall, reporter with wcba news radio, 880. it's hard for a lot of us to take in, sofia, that right under our noses. this is long island. that's where the hamptons are.

where you hear about the stars, taking their planes there. for the entire summer, living in these big, huge houses. like billy joel. and jerry seinfeld. huge stars live out there. world-class golf courses. ritzy shopping. the works. and for forced sex rings. on waitresses, at a restaurant, right there in a strip center. how? >> well, let me tell you. i'm told when news photographers tried to take one of the suspects photo, he yelled, stop. stop. i'm a family man. but apparently, nancy, this was a family affair. authorities say a brother, a sister and a manager of the restaurant/bar, all accused of running this sex slave ring. and the leader, i'm told, antonio rivera, also known as tony, is a registered sex offender. convicted back in '98, for having sex with a 13-year-old girl and a 14-year-old girl. >> unleash the lawyers.

veteran defense attorney, atlanta georgia, raymond gudicci. how? how, raid guidicce. how is he out and about, forcing teenage girls into a sex ring? >> first of all, we don't know what happened to the sentence. whether he completed his pardons and paroles on that case. but i guarantee you there's a network that these people belong to, that's helping to bring the girls into the country. >> put them up. i want to see his face. does that somehow lessen, what tony rivera is doing? >> no. what a lot of people don't understand, is the thoroughness and the internationalness of these sex trades. >> the internationalness? is that a word? >> it's everywhere.

it's down the street from where you live. i'm telling you -- >> i have been in long island, where w all the rich people. don't start that with me. >> my point is this, nancy. don't be surprised. this is happening everywhere in this country. and worldwide, people are shipping children. young girls, all around the world. >> if your argument to me is, everybody's doing it, fine. >> no, nancy. of course, i'm not. >> it's in plain sight. if it's under your nose, you're not going to look at it because you don't think it's there. this is a bar in a strip mall. who's going to look for a prostitution ring in a bar in a strip mall? >> out to marlene. i'm having a hard time taking it in. how many of swing by a strip mall for whatever. this has very heavy foot traffic. car traffic there. and right here, at this little bar/restaurant, teenagers, teen girls, waitresses, forced into sex rings.

>> that's right, nancy. 23 girls, to be specific. many of them that are 17 years old. i talked to a store front owner. the person behind me, where this alleged sex ring took place. and she said this bar didn't open up until 9:00 or 10:00 at night, way after the other stores have closed. she said the shades were always down. they're down right now. and they never saw any activity. an it took place all night long, in the basement of this bar. >> a lot of people say women don't go into prostitution against their will. many of you have a point. but these -- many of these are teenage girls. joining me there in island, marle marlene. ellie, this is right under our noses. what are the potential penalties for these guys? >> well, nancy, antonio severe ra and his sister, jasmine, as

well as their bar manager, john wailly, are facing some really stiff charges. sex trafficking. forced labor. conspiracy. those first two charges, each of them individually carries a life sentence. >> whatever judge gets this case, we are going to be watching you. and these people better seek justice. they better meet up with lady justice, in the courtroom. with me right now, a special guest, bradley miles. he is a human trafficking expert, with polarisproject.org. thanks for being with us. how prevalent is human trafficking like this, forcing teenagers into sex rings, in our country? >> nancy, it is more prevalent than people realize. i'll tell you that right now. we operate the national hot line for the country. we've learned about 2,500 potential victims over the past

2 years. the government estimates we have, you know, 14,500 to 17,500 people who are brought across the borders and then held in these modern-day slavery situations. and it happens to u.s. citizen teens. we have estimates out there, 100,000 to 300,000 u.s. citizen kids at high risk for being held in sex slavery in the united states. these numbers are huge. >> that's so hard for me to take in. dr. jeff gardier. for instance, when you go into a restaurant like this, and one of these waitresses waits on you, brings you food or your drink. why don't they say something? >> because they are being coerced. we found out in this particular case, that if these girls did not want to cooperate with getting involved in these sex acts, they would beat them. they would rape them. this is a form of torture. >> out to the lines. brenda in utah. hi, dear. >> caller: hi. thank you for taking my call.

>> thank you for calling in. what's your question? >> caller: well, i'm just curious. i saw another program. i won't mention which one, just recently. saying that even though they're under-aged children, and prostitutes, they're still charged with prostitution. are these girls, since they're slaves, in effect, are they going to be charged for prostitution? or are they going to get the counsels and other kind of help that they need so they can return to their regular life? >> excellent question, brenda. to sofia hall. i saw, pursuant to brenda's question, out of utah, a whole string of ladies, going on to what looked like a government or police bus. what was that? >> well, they were actually bringing these 23 women out of this bar and restaurant. and they are not going to be charged with anything. in fact, authorities told me they're actually going to try to help these girls the best they can. try to move on with their lives. it's going to be hard because, like you said, they were scared

to death and lived in horror. >> they're scarred forever, like every crime victim. thank god this has been busted. but like bradley miles was telling us, there's thousands of similar case across our country. america. our beautiful america. this is happening right under our noses. these are little girls. many of them teenagers. we're taking your calls live. right now, the verdict is in. tonight's winner of the show's number one fan contest for tonight, is austin, texas, friend of the show, april swain. she says she's our number one fan, because she not only misses the show. her little girl says when she grows up, she wants to be a crime-fighter. there's a fan that never misses the show. the canine viewers. this puppy is named grace. how can you say no to this puppy? hello? a dog picture.

april, congratulations. you get that new book out today. i want to thank you, friend. thank you so much.

a 13-year-old wisconsin girl is charged with murder, after police say she stabbed a relative in the neck, because he allegedly spilled out the milk she wanted for her cereal. a relative told the police, the victim, robert moon, sarcastically told the teen, she could have the rest of the milk, after he poured a glass for the youngest child. the teen suspect, allegedly cursing at the victim. and moon spills the milk down the drain. in a rage, the teen grabs a knife and stabs the man in the neck. >> the milk wasn't hers. it was robert's stepdaughter. she told us she could get some, after the stepdaughter got him. but she got mad. and just stabbed him in the neck. >> robert was a nice person. every time i bring my baby over, he would be, like, you know --

he would, like -- he was a nice person. she shouldn't have did that to him. >> joining us out of chicago, a 13-year-old stabbing of her step-grandfather, literally over spilt milk? what happened? >> apparently, it appears there had been some type of tension that had been growing between the 13-year-old and the step grandad. and it all boiled over over the spilt milk. she wanted some cereal. and i guess he tormented her with the last bit of milk. he poured it down the drain. and i guess it sent her over the top. and she sliced her thought. >> from what we know from law enforcement and witness accounts, nancy. the 13-year-old girl and the stepgrandpa are there in the kitchen. stepgrandpa is pouring milk for the youngest child in the home. there's apparently only a drop left. he says wait a second. you'll get the milk for your

cereal when i'm done. she apparently raises her tone with him. he gets upset and pours the last drop of milk down the drain in the kitchen. he leaves with the glass of milk. the 13-year-old girl takes off him. she allegedly knocked the milk out of his hand. grabs a pairing knife, from the sink in the home. and stabs him in his carotid artery. she stabs him. >> out to the lines. lori in alabama. thank you for calling. what's your question, dear? >> caller: i want to know, did she come from a violent past, is why she's living with her grandparents? >> excellent question. out to you kathy. what do we know? this girl is just 13 years old. she's a tiny, petite girl. >> yes. all of the details are coming forth about what the living arrangements were. i know her mother did show up in court with her today, as well as both of her grandmothers. but we're still getting the

details of what the living arrangement was. >> have there been any allegations of child molestation, kathy? >> there have not been thus far. but we are trying to get those details. i mean, there has to have been something that pushed this girl over the edge because this isn't the first time allegedly, that she's pulled a knife on the stepgrandfather. >> out to the lawyers. i don't know about that. we want to assume. and we do this, for instance, when a mother kills the child. we want to assume there's more to the story. but that isn't necessarily true, joe. >> no. but, nancy, families have fights. children throw tantrums. normal children don't pick up a knife and strike out. there could be something going on in her background. we don't know the intention. we don't know state of mind. that's going to take a while to figure out. >> to dr. david posey, medical examiner, with the glen oaks pathology medical group.

what do you make of the particular wound? is there any way he could have been saved? >> if direct pressure had been applied right away, yeah. but the carotid artery is the major artery in the neck. >> show it to us. >> right along here. and it's carrying blood, oxyg oxygenated blood to the brain and heart. it only takes seconds to pump out large volume of blood. maybe every time the heartbeats, you might lose six to eight ounces of blood, within minutes. a minute or two, you're going to have enough blood loss. the patient goes into irreversible hypogleamic or loss of blood shock. and there's nothing that can be done to help the patient. >> unless someone with some type of training, really, had applied direct pressure, with a towel or rag, to the carotid address rtet

would have been the only way to save him? >> if direct pressure would have been applied immediately, within the first few seconds, the chances are, he may have been saved. we're hearing it's one carotid artery. maybe both sides were cut. if both sides are cut, it's lights out. there's no way to get blood to the brain. the brain will die without blood. there is blood coming back here. but that doesn't give you enough blood over a long period of time, to get the patient to the h hospital and the arteries reconnected. there would be severe brain damage. i think it's a very serious wound. >> to raymond, defense attorney, atlanta, georgia. the good news for her, is that according to our u.s. supreme court, nobody 16 or under can be put to death, can get the death penalty. but if she is charged as a juvenile, she may not be looking at anything more than 18 months

to 5 years. >> that's right. >> she can treated as an adult. but not the death penalty. >> that's right. she has those protections. and they will be exploring the questions that your callers are asking about. has he been abused? >> you left that one out. >> sometimes there's nothing there. but her lawyer's job is to flesh those issues out. and if they're there, bring them to the court's attention in the juvenile court. >> jeff, we need a shrink. weigh in. >> all right. well, her defense attorney needs to show that she didn't know right from wrong. so, when they do an assessment, they're going to look at i.q., to see if there was borderline retardation. and they'll look at whether there was any psychosis, hallucinations, so she didn't know what her actions were about. >> kelly, what's your question, dear? i think i have kelly in wisconsin. do you have a question?

>> caller: yes, i do, nancy. i think the last caller asked if she had any psychological past, any problems. since the last caller asked that question, i want to this time to just -- i am so encouraged with your new book and you're going to make my christmas very easy. each person, every family and friend, that book. so i want to thank you and congratulations on your new book, nancy. i love you to death. >> kelly in wisconsin, thank you so much. i've been working on this book nearly ten years, believe it or not. and in addition to thanking kelly in wisconsin for her kind words, a special thank you to the "today" show host kathie lee gifford and hoda kotb for having me on this morning, not only about the fwintwins, but my nov out today, "eleventh victim," and thanks for jane velez-mitchell for having me as a guest tonight as well. thank you to everyone at "gma,"

i want to thank you so much for all of your calls and your e-mails about my book, "eleventh victim," it comes out on august

11. you are the very first to see it, right now, of course, after lucy, pictured here, who grabbed it first. it's about a prosecutor who tries her best to give up criminal law and start a new life, but when her friends are murdered, one by one, the nypd hones in on her. it took me years to write this book. i started when i first left felony prosecution and i missed it so much. since then, i wrote another book and published it, launched this show with my producer, dane, got married, got pregnant, gave birth, nearly died, didn't, and finished the book. i hope you like it. part of my proceeds go to a proceeds, wesley glenn, who takes care of the mentally handicapped that need a loving home. you can find this book on our website. again, everyone, thank you. let's stop and remember marine lance corporal,

coming up next on "issues," another day, another big raid in the jackson death investigation. authorities sweeping down on a pharmacy in las vegas. is this pharmacy connected to michael jackson's personal physician, dr. conrad murray? and is this why the coroner is not releasing his report, even though it is completed. why not? anybody who has anything to hide knows that this case is being investigated. why would releasing the toxicology reports and telling us once and for all what happened to michael jackson compromise the investigation. we're going to discuss that tonight on "issues." and i am so delighted to have nancy grace here on "issues" to talk about her fantastic new novel, "the eleventh victim." i've been up night after night reading it, it is a page turner, sure to be the murder/mystery hit of the season.
