i intend to make my family, friends and the steeler nation proud on all fronts. >> there is no federal law that we can find to charge anybody with on this. so, guess what. tag, you're it. >> i think i've got more to talk about than the people. oh, you know, i love being able to tell you some good news as i get to do today. thank you so much for being with us. i'm christi paul. a florida girl who had been missing since friday has been found alive. a member of her church who had been helping search for

11-year-old nadia bloom found her this morning in the woods not far from an alligator infested swap. searchers told police she was stuck in the mud and couldn't move. these are the pictures of police and volunteers carrying her out here. the church's pastor says bloom was dehydrated, covered with mosquito bites, had waterlogged feet. otherwise, she's okay. just moments ago, her parents thanked everyone involved in this search. >> it's the love of everybody. from everybody across the country praying to the canine teams across the state of florida that came out, to the s.w.a.t. teams, the helicopters. i mean, it all came so fast, and it just shows the compassion of the human spirit when things like this happen. and it gives -- it should give everybody encouragement. it really should. >> after so many days, did you ever lose hope? >> of course. >> well, our daughter is a nature lover.

she went on a bike ride and she just stopped and went off to take some pictures. >> we just want to thank also the winter springs and all the counties that sent officers here and it was so wonderful. and the community and our school and strangers. and we just want to say thank you. >> so many people. >> how did nadia look to you? >> you just imagine their elation. bloom is being taken to a hospital, though. police say she has asberger's syndrome. it's not clear whether that played any role in her disappearance, but she is safe and sound and being checked out by doctors as we speak. so happy for that family. authorities in tennessee say they have not been able to question a woman who caused outrage by sending a 7-year-old russian boy she'd adopted back to russia alone. the u.s. ambassador to russia says americans are also upset about what happened. john buyerly hopes the incident will not jeopardize adoptions.

the boy is being tended to in a moscow hospital and is in good hands. he was put on a flight along with a note saying he was violent and had severe psychological problems. so far, there are no charges against the woman. >> what we're going to have to do at this point is continue the investigation, try to dig into and get enough evidence to bring charges. and that's the only way we're going to get to talk to her it looks like. so i guess we're kind of getting our hand forced here. >> the woman who returned the boy hasn't spoken publicly and an adoption agency says officials haven't been able to contact her since late march. an nfl star has been cleared of wrongdoing but he's apologizing for his actions anyway. jean casarez is in new york with more. >> are there any repercussions for pittsburgh steelers' quarterback ben roethlisberger anyway? >> well, there are. there really are. he woke up this morning knowing

that he will not be charges with a crime in the state gaffe ga. in fact, he has not been charged with any crime at all, even though two women are alleging that they were sexually assaulted by him. one in nevada and now one in georgia. but the alleged victim in georgia could go to a civil court to seek remedy. now last night, ben roethlisberger stepped to the microphone for the very first time ever. he wanted to impart a message. take a listen. >> i am truly sorry for the disappointment and negative attention i have brought to my family, my teammates, coaches, the rooneys and the nfl. i understand that the opportunities i have been blessed with are privilege and much is expected of me as a quarterback of the pittsburgh steelers. i absolutely want to be the leader this team deserves, valued in the community and a role model to kids. i have much work to do to earn this trust, and i am committed

to improving and showing everyone my true values. >> if you listen carefully, he never admits anything in that. and that's important going into possibly a civil case just saying he was a disappointment. so sort of morally he's talking about. well, you know, fred bright, the district attorney in georgia, had said yesterday that his purpose is to seek justice, to find justice, not just to convict someone. he spoke this morning on "good morning america." listen to what he had to say the day after. >> i'm in the business of proving defendants guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of crimes. if we could do it i would have done it. i admit we couldn't prove it. exactly what happened, we know there was a lot of drinking going on. the victim quite candidly was exceed league intoxicated. roethlisberger had been providing shots of alcohol to her and some sorority sisters at the club that night. i don't want to mislead anybody. the victim had already been drinking prior to that. the issue is what happened in a small bathroom there.

you get a lot of he said/she said, but it's unclear. it's foggy and that's not -- i couldn't prove it beyond a reasonable doubt what happened there. >> there are a lot of questions remaining. he is saying we don't really know what happened in that bathroom. she had a sexual assault examination, but her inconsistent statements are what could really hamper a beyond a reasonable doubt conviction standard. >> does the clearing of charges in this case have any bearing on the case in nevada? where does that thing stand right now? >> it is ongoing. i just got off the phone with cal neva. he is the attorney that represents the alleged victim in south lake tahoe. he's a reno attorney. he says the case is progressing. that actually the attorney for ben roethlisberger tried to dismiss the action. that was denied. now they are trying to change venue out of south lake tahoe. that is to an appellate court because it was denied on the trial level.

he's trying to get it out of that resort community of south lake tahoe. >> in this public apology, he didn't make any concessions. i mean, he didn't say i did this. no admissions by any means. but it almost sounded like he was intimating something happened. i mean, can that be uses with -- can that be uses with this girl? i'm assuming -- can that piece of video be brought up in a trial if she tries to take him to a civil trial? >> i definitely think that a civil attorney would use that statement and also let's look at nevada for a second to remind everybody. that's july 2008, a young woman went to an attorney saying that a sexual assault had been perpetrated upon her at the harrah's casino. she worked there. now the attorney in nevada can try to show a pattern of conduct, and they can probably try to bring in the georgia situation and maybe even depose this alleged victim in georgia that does not want to probably be deposed. but she may just be in nevada.

>> my goodness. jean casarez, thank you so much for bringing us the very latest. >> you're welcome. an american airlines flight made an emergency landing in iceland after fumes filled the cabin. flight 49 was traveling from paris' charles de gaulle airport to dallas-ft. worth when passengers reported the haze. five or six of the 145 people on board reportedly complained of dizziness from the fumes. well, paramedics were sent to the scene but the airline says there are no reports anyone needed medical treatment. american airlines is sending a replacement plane to iceland so passengers can continue their journey, of course. and consumer reports has issued a warning about the lexus gs-460 which is manufactured by toyota. here it is. the magazine says the suv carries an unusually high risk of a rollover accident during certain types of turns. it's urging people not to buy the vehicle until the problem has been fixed. 5,000 gs-460s have been

recalled. toyota is taking a serious look at the problem and appreciates consumer reports for bringing it to the company's attention. how tough should you be when it comes to tough love? this is quite a debate. a new study on spanking is out. is it a good way to discipline your kids? we'll tell you what research found and get your views on corporal punishment.

new information in the search for missing florida girl haleigh cummings. apparently the search is on again. the putnam county sheriff's office said authorities are acting on a tip but won't, laberate beyond that. hill haleigh cummings was last seen in her father ronald's home. here's her picture. take a good look. ronald's then girlfriend and ex-wife misty croslin claims she put haleigh to bed that night

and that was the last anyone saw of her. well, there is more evidence that spanking your kid does more harm than good. our question is, do you buy it? tulane university studied close to 2,500 children and found those who were spanked, more frequently at the age of 3 were more likely to be greased by the time they turned 5. it found the link was strong even after taking into account factors such as parental violence, drug and alcohol use and maternal neglect and depression. i know this is a really strong topic for a lot of people because we either went through it being spanked or not being spanked or we're parents trying to deal with it. richelle carey is here. when we refer to being spanks more frequently it refers specifically to being spanked two times or more per month. >> absolutely. and that is an important clarification. and this is always a good topic,

just like you said, because we generally have been through it. always get a good response. the studies seem to always say something different all the time. we want to know what you are saying about this. let's hop on the phones. claudia is calling from arizona. claudia, i understand that you are against spanking. so i suppose you like the results of the study. >> caller: yes. i think that as a learning tool, spanking is the absolute wrong thing to do. whether or not it's two times a month or more. i don't think the number of times but the intent is what makes the issue. and before the age of 3, where is the reasoning? i am not sure the child can see anything except fear and that you are bigger than i am so, therefore, you have the control. you might stop that behavior, but my guess is that later on, something else is going to pop up that won't be as easy to fix. >> actually, what you just

touched on, the reasoning, some of the comments i was seeing on facebook is exactly that. there parents that say because you can't reason with a toddler and there may be a certain type of behavior you are trying to change, they say that that's why they feel like an occasional spanking is what they resort to. that's what some of the comments i've seen. how do you respond to that? >> caller: well, from zero, from birth to 3, a child needs total nurturing. total trust and without that, with a lack of that trust that my parents are my caregiver, will help me, not hurt me. then you have a child who may strike back and say you weren't with me before. i'm not going to be with you now. >> okay, claudia. thank you for the phone call. let's talk to bill in colorado. bill, you think spanking is appropriate sometimes? >> caller: yeah, i think it's absolutely necessary.

and i really do believe -- i completely disagree with the last caller. i believe that it has to start at an early age because you have to, you know, you have to set the standard and spanking doesn't mean beating. but, you know, i think if you wait until a child becomes, let's say, 8, 9, 10 and up, that's when they start figuring things out. >> and that's kind of when you can talk to them, too, bill. >> caller: right. by that time if you decide, well, they're old enough to spank now, well, now those kids think they are getting beat. you understand what i'm saying? so i think the level of punishment should meet the level of misbehavior. >> all right, bill. thanks. we'll be getting to facebook comments as well. we're just getting started. do you agree with this study. does spanking lead to more aggressive behavior or do you think it's an important form of discipline that works for you? if you think there's a proper way to do it, call us.

1-877-tell-hln. e-mail cnn.com/hln. you can also text us. we'll get to e-mails, facebook. all types of forums to discuss this important topic. all right. now we're going to talk about taking charge of your career. so it's that time of year. the time of the annual review. now it was even in "the wall street journal." i know how most people feel about these. probably you hate them. some people think that they are uncomfortable. you might think i have to suck up. look, that is a very normal way of seeing these. but it's not something that's going to really help you out. that's not a powerful way to see this. so i invite you to try this out. what if you saw your interview as your moment at the plate. your shot at a raise or promotion to keep your paycheck or maybe even to just keep your job, to hold on to it.

the plastic surgery industry is offering a nip and tuck at some deals. hln money expert clark howard says you know what? you still have to be careful here. >> this is clark howard. you feel like you need a little nip somewhere, a tuck somewhere else? well, do you know that right now you can do it on sale? because in the great recession, one industry has taken it on the chin. and that's the plastic surgery industry. in fact, they are reporting a big decline in business. that's why if you pick up an alternative news weekly in any

town, the kind that you can pick up for free that has concerts and all that kind of info in it, you'll see ad after ad right now for discounts on a variety of plastic surgery procedures. but is a good price all you need to look at? no. you also got to find out whether or not the person you are thinking of using actually knows what he or she is doing. that's a whole different thing, not about dollars and cents. i'm clark howard. for more ways for you to stretch that buck go to cnn.com/clarkhoward. >> clark, of course is going to teach you how to save more, spend less and avoid getting ripped off. catch him at noon eastern saturdays and sundays right here on hln.

well, a florida girl who had been missing since friday has been found alive. here's the video to prove it here, folks. love to be able to tell you this. a member of her church who had been helping search for 11-year-old nadia bloom found her this morning in the woods, not far from an alligator-infested swamp. searchers told police she was stuck in the mud and couldn't move. look at that throng of people around her. these are some of the pictures of police and volunteers who were carrying her out there. the church's pastor said bloom was dehydrated, covered with mosquito bites, had waterlogged feet. other than that, she seems to be okay, they tell us. moments ago, her parents had

talked to everybody about the search. >> it's the love of everybody. from everybody across the country praying to the canine teams across the state of florida that came out. to the s.w.a.t. teams, the helicopters. i mean, it all came so fast. and it just shows the compassion of the human spirit when things like this happen. and it gives -- it should give everybody encouragement. it really should. >> after so many days, did you ever lose hope? >> well, our daughter is a nature lover. she went on a bike ride and she just stopped and went off to take some pictures. >> we just want to thank also the winter springs and all the counties that sent officers here and they've been so wonderful. and the community and our school and strangers. and we just want to say thank you. >> so many people -- >> how did nadia look to you?

>> now bloom was rushed to a hospital. police say she has asperger's syndrome. it's not clear whether that played any part in her disappearance, but the good news is she is safe right now. new information in the search for missing florida girl haleigh cummings. the search is again focusing on areas near her father's hometown of satsuma. they are operating on a tip but won't elaborate any further. she was last seen in february of 2009. ronald's then girlfriend, who is now his ex-wife, misty croslin, claims she put haleigh to bed that night and that was the last anyone saw of her. one of pro football's biggest stars will not face charges, but ben roethlisberger may not be out of the woods here. a district attorney says he does not have the evidence to prove roethlisberger sexually assaulted a college student.

>> we are not condone playing roethlisberger's actions that night, but we do not prosecute morales. we prosecute crimes. >> the quarterback has always maintained he did nothing wrong. after he was cleared, he did issue an apology for what he did. >> i am truly sorry for the disappointment and negative attention i have brought to my family, my teammates, coaches, the rooneys and the nfl. i understand that the opportunities i have been blessed with are a privilege and that much is expected of me as a quarterback of the pittsburgh steelers. i absolutely want to be the leader this team deserves, valued in the community and a role model to kids. i have much work to do to earn this trust. and i am committed to improving and showing everyone my true values. >> steelers president art rooney confirms he's been meeting with the quarterback about his off-field behavior, including a sexual assault lawsuit still pending in nevada.

roethlisberger also has an appointment with nfl commissioner roger goodell. authorities in tennessee say they have not been able to question a woman who caused real outrage here by sending a 7-year-old russian boy that she adopted back to russia alone. the u.s. ambassador to russia says americans are also upset about what happened here. john beyrle hopes the incident will not jeopardize adoptions of russian children by u.s. citizens. beyrle also says the boy is being tended to in a moscow hospital and is in good hands. he was put on a flight along with a note saying he was violent and had severe psychological problems. so far, there are no charges against the woman. >> what we're going to have to do at this point is continue the investigation. try to dig into and get enough evidence to bring charges. and that's the only way we're going to get to talk to her it looks like. so i guess we're kind of getting our hand forced here. >> the woman who returned the boy has not spoken out publicly

one that may soon come with jailtime. how they are trying to crack down on good samaritans.

city officials in oakland park, florida, aren't just trying to take a hard-line on pandhandlers. they're also targeting those who give them money. if an ordinance passes, good samaritans would face fines or up to 90 days of jailtime for giving a beggar money or any article of value such as food or a newspaper. the ordinance won tentative approval last month. the proposal violates civil rights associated with free

speech and unfairly targets the homeless. so this is one of our your views topics today. richelle carey is monitoring what you are saying. >> let's get started so i can get in as many views as possible. do you think it's unfair to be fined for giving to panhandlers or is it a reasonable traffic safety concern? is it free speech? let's jump right in to facebook comments. let me share these with you. richelle carey hln. got this from tomillia. i live in florida. if i want to give money to someone in need, i will. that's just another way to get money out of people. that's their way of panhandling. luann says no one should give to these people. it just enables them to keep up that lifestyle. if you want to give, give to the church or the shelters that try to help these people get off the streets. let's talk about it as well. laura is calling us from virginia. laura, where do you stand on this? >> caller: i think it's wrong that they should be targeting the homeless people. we as people have relatives that

we can ask for money. these people are on the streets. they may not have people they can ask for money. they are trying to get food and shelter. >> laur alet me ask you this then. if they outlawed it or pass some ordinance against it where you stand, would you violate it and keep giving money anyway? >> caller: oh, yes i would. i think it's wrong they should be prosecuting people for showing compassion. >> laura, thank you for the phone call. joe is calling from oklahoma. what do you think about this? >> caller: i think it should be made a law that they should fine people for giving -- it's the only way we're going to stop the panhandling which seems to be growing. >> and what do you see as the danger or the concern in the panhandling? what about it bothers you? >> caller: it could be a traffic concern. sometimes they do not stop when the light turns green. i'm just against it.

>> okay. all right, joe. thank you for the phone call. let me get in more facebook comments. marie wrote this. she's got some traffic concerns as well. she says particularly on notre dame football weekends, it really messes up traffic. she says it's supposed to be illegal. i think the people who are out in the intersections begging for money are the ones who should be arrested. they should go into the parking areas and solicit where it's safer. marie is one of our regulars. i have a feeling if someone came up to marie in a parking lot she, would give them every penny. that's just the kind of person she strikes me as. it's a shame that the richest nation on the planet would even have beggars on the streets. do you think it is unfair to be fined for giving to panhandlers during traffic? maybe you think there's a legitimate safety concern here and you understand where this ordinance is coming from. call us. 1-877-tell-hln. e-mail us, cnn.com/hln. text hlntv. standard text rates apply. we'll continue to air your

material for a nuclear weapon. and if they ever succeeded, they would surely use it. >> as today's session got under way, the president asked for a moment of silence in honor of polish president lech kaczynski and members of his delegation killed in a plane crash on saturday. first lady michelle obama just made an unannounced stop in haiti, which, of course, was hit by a devastating earthquake three months ago. mrs. obama is heading to mexico city for three days on her first solo trip overseas as the first lady. the white house says the visit underscores the deep ties between the united states and mexico. and prosecutors in prince georges county, maryland, are investigating a police beating caught on tape. take a look at this. officers can be seen beating -- here in a moment. there's the university student you see circled. there's the officer that comes up with his horse. here they go. this is a university of maryland student being beaten with night sticks. it happened march 3rd during the celebrations that followed the maryland men's basketball team

beating duke. a private investigator says the video was shot by another student. this just goes on and on. a police officer has been suspended. authorities tell our sister network cnn they are looking into documents police filed in the case that allege the student and another suspect hit the mounted officers and their horses. a police lieutenant tells cnn those claims, obviously, are not supported by the video. charges against both suspects, we should point out, have been dropped again. here's the video for you. it's not clear if the suspected officer wrote the charging documents, but authorities are still working to identify all of those officers in that video. wow. a chaotic scene at virginia's james madison university. riots erupting at the annual spring fest party on saturday. one of our ireporters was there. he said people started throwing beer cans and bottles for no reason. in a field between two rows of apartments there. you see things flying in the

air. he said someone on the porch even threw a chair into the crowd below. the ireporter doesn't want to be named but at one point it appeared the crowd swelled to thousands. by the time the police showed up, most people had left but there was a lot of property damage. dozens of people were arrested. according to local reports, many of those involved in the riots were not university students. but we want to thank that ireporter who chooses to be nameless and just glad, too, that that person is okay. when you have pictures or video of breaking news or stories from your part of the world, we'd love to see them. go to ireport.com. click on the upload now link to share them. the tattoo model linked to jesse james is, for the first time, publicly apologizing to sandra bullock. in an interview on an australian tv show, michelle bombshell mcgee says she's sorry for the embarrassment her alleged affair with james may have caused. she tells channel 7's "today tonight" "sandra, i'm sorry for your embarrassment. i'm sorry all this is public. i'm sorry for everything."

ago, a canadian man who police say fell from a balcony but the family says his skull was crash crushed otherwise. and so while they apparently have no relationship to the death of this woman, it does raise possibilities or questions about safety of the american tourists in cancun. >> the tv producer's wife was found dead at the resort last week. her sisters have asked the l.a. district attorney to help with the investigation and the producer bresesford-redmond is still in mexico and can't leave until the investigation is complete. investigators are waiting for forensic test results to decide whether they'll press charges. the world's largest coral reef will have long-term damage from a cargo ship that ran aground there. one scientist says it will take marine life up to 20 years just to recover from this. the sheer impact pulvarized the great barrier reef this month. the fullec tent of the damage

during the briefing that area is consistent with this area right in here, number 13. i've been telling you all along that what we're doing is pushing through the denseness of the woods to try to get into these areas over here because we had to first concentrate our effort where we did, where it was likely a child would move to. so that's what we were concentrating our effort and we had no luck finding nadia in any of these locations and today's priority was to push through the lake and if not tomorrow, we were going to. however at 8:30 this morning we received that phone call. he was able to tell us that he had located her. if you look close enough on the map here, there's a little green area here that's actually a dry area, and he talked us in there and what we did from that point on was triangulate the cell phone car using the cell towers in the location. the florida department of law enforcement was able to do that and they gave us the coordinates.911 call coordinates were 28, 41, 50.91 degrees north

and 81 degrees 13, 26.23 degrees west. that's where the 911 call was coming from. the location actually -- she was located when the officers from the emergency response team reached her, was actually 28.41 and she was in a handheld gps. 81 degrees 1316.41 degrees west so that puts her right in the middle, right about here is where we found her and mr. king. mr. king is indicating to me he came in from over here. we had noticed a car parked off the side of the road here this morning. we were in the process of sending some officers over to identify that car because we knew it was in the area, however we had gotten a phone call before we checked that vehicle out and immediately transferred our attention to getting officers to the location which they couldn't tell us exactly

where he was. so we used the seminole county alert helicopter to conduct an orbit of the area based on what the cell phone was telling us. mr. king himself climbed a tree and was able to throw toilet paper on top of the three back and forth in order to give us a location so the helicopter pilots could see where he was at. once they located they completed a real tight orbit until the seven members -- the emergency response team reached his location and found nadia. nadia is in good condition. she has insect bites from head to toe. no shoes. the paramedic noted that she had her feet were very, very waterlogged as if been standing in the water for a while. the paramedic on scene from the team administered an iv fluid. she was not complaining of anything other than the fact that she was -- she had insect

bites. she did make two comments to the officers when they got there. glad you guys found me. can't believe you rescued me. so they were very, very excited about that. i guess from that point i can take some questions. >> how do you feel -- >> do you believe mr. king sort of found her. >> mr. king is a hero right now. he led us to her and that's where we're going with until anything changes. >> are you interrogating him? >> there's a difference between interrogating him, and asking him a question. we want to know how he got to where he was and the how did he get to that location and give us a breakdown of how he found her and got to her because we want to know her. >> how did he see her? how was she when he found her? >> all we know until we finish talking to mr. king and nadia, all we know is that he went from

that location where i pointed out from 417 all of the way through all this to here, located her and called us on the cell phone. >> how far is that from her home? >> right now, we haven't looked into her backpack. that's been taken in by the cart team to look at and they've collected all of the evidence and all of the information and we probably won't know anything for at least a day or so. >> know she hasn't had a chance to say too much to you, but she hasn't indicated that she'd seen a single soul since she missed her bike on friday and mr. king? >> she says she hasn't seen a soul. >> personally i feel wonderful. relieved, happy, proud of my guys, proud of the law enforcement community, proud of this community. proud of you all for helping me get that information out here. i'm just one hell of a proud guy today. >> how does it feel after five days? >> we've heard of them before. unfortunately, we've seen some that don't come out as a good ending like this, but i told you

all from the beginning we were not going to give up. we had to search the areas that we thought she could be. if she was there we would have eventually had come upon her, but we could not go to an area that we couldn't get to. she proved us wrong today. >> are you suspicious about mr. king's story? anything that causes your officers to wonder how it could have happened or to redouble their efforts in questioning him? >> right now i don't know the efforts to that. they're questioning him to get the information that he needs so i can answer that question. i've asked them prior to me coming here if they had the information for me and right now they didn't have that information for me. >> if you had to characterize what has been going on the last two days with the conversations your officers have had with nadia and her physical condition, do you think she was wandering around the woods all this time? i don't know. >> that's what i believe, yes. that's what i believe. i don't ever want to believe somebody who has brought a conclusion to something had anything other than finding her. i will not believe that about

mr. king. he is a hero to me right now. do you believe that nadia's trek into the woods is as hellacious as what your officers dealt with trying to get her out? >> one of the things we noticed is that there was a crime scene investiga investigative -- what was that like? >> -- >> that is the chief of police in winter springs, flo da, not far from orlando, northeast of orlando and close to lake jess up near where nadia bloom was found. the 11-year-old had gone missing. her bike was found not far from the edge of a wooded area which then leads to the lake. she'd been missing since friday. she has some form of autism. whether that played a role, we don't know, but she was found this morning on strength of a church member in metro church in springs. james king who then called 911. as you heard the police chief indicate he had to throw toilet paper over tree tops to help the

helicopter hovering overhead locate him. anyway, they pulled her out this morning. it took a while, but she's okay, full of mosquito bites. her only words to rescuers. glad you guys found me. can't believe you rescued me. nadia bloom is safe and sound. how tough should you be when it comes to tough love. a new study on spanking is out. is it a good way to discipline your kids? what the research found and what you're saying.

taxpayers. how many times is a cop going to be there waiting while you get a newspaper in traffic anyway? another regular says the police need to arrest the people that run up to your car while trying to sell or trying to get money, not the ones in the car. let's talk about this as well. adam is calling us from albany, oregon. okay, adam, you support ordinances like this one. why? >> caller: i do believe -- i do support it because i believe a lot of these people are probably fugitives of the law with warrants. i've spoke to these people at times because you want to know why people are in the situation they're in and when they're being honest, you find out. there are so many programs in the country and if they don't want to be counted this is the route they take. >> a lot of people are criminals wanted by police and they're standing out on the corner saying hey, look at me. >> caller: of course, if you're a drug dealer or pedophile what's the best way to get out of the situation you're in? just leave the state, right? and you can't get a job or run employment because they'll run

background checks and look for you. if that's not the case why are the people in the situation? >> a lot of other statistics say a lot of homeless people are are necessarily mentally ill people. >> caller: aren't there programs? >> i guess the issue would simply be. clearly, you think that the giving money isn't necessarily the way, though. >> caller: no. excuse me, give it to an organization that hands it out. give the food to people or organization. >> thank you, adam, very much. let's talk to joyce calling from jacksonville, florida. what do you think? >> caller: hello. how are you doing? >> great. thank you for calling me. >> caller: thank you very much. just two things to say. basically, for adam, who's really giving the programs now? with the state of the economy that we have right now, who's really giving to all these programs? there's plenty of centers and homeless shelters here who are barely staying open because nobody's giving. nobody has the money to give and as far as the homeless people,

if you don't have the address, how are you going to get the benefit of whatever program? i mean, come o really? >> true enough, a lot of people that are out desperate, on the corner asking for money are in dire strait, but don't people have a point when they say that this isn't necessarily the way that panhandling, isn't necessarily the way? it's not safe for anybody for them to be going about it this way? isn't that a valid point as well? >> the one thing i'm going to say for anybody that says that you are probably one paycheck from being in the same position, okay? >> and we do. people are saying that a lot in these times, joyce. they are. you can be that person out there with your hand out. so don't get so smug and full of yourself that you think that that may not be you because it might be. >> okay, joyce. thank you for the phone call. let me get in some facebook comments. qui, i hope i'm pronouncing that right. i hope they'll say it's a traffic concern. i wonder how they're going to conduct the firemen's boot drive

now. okay. all right. stephanie says maybe if the country would help the boor they wouldn't feel the need to beg. we are always helping other country, but forget about the poor. we need to take care of our own first. this is the "your views" topic. do you think it's unfair to be fined to giving to pan handlers in traffic? maybe there is a legitimate traffic safety concern? maybe you want to help, but this isn't the way to do it. all us, 877-tell-hln. e-mail us. next hlntv and put your name and the word views in there and your comment. standard text rates apply and there's a discussion on our facebook pages as well. i have a page and it's also posted on chuck and christi's pages as well. >> appreciate it. >> sure. in their report, it says a college student hit a police officer and they responded with night sticks. that's not what the vitd yoft incident shows. find out who is under

should you be when it comes to tough love? we're talking about spanking, and a new study that's out. is it a good way to discipline your kids? we'll tell you what the research found and get your views on corporal punishment.

well, there is more evidence that spanking your kids does more harm than good. do you buy this? tulane university studied close to 2,500 children and found those spanked frequently at the april of 3 were more likely to be aggressive by the time they turned 5. an association between spanking and agres was strong even after taking into account factors like parental violenceance drug and alcohol use and maternal neglect. this is a touchy subject i know. because a lot of us were either spanked as a kid or some parents do it themselves, use it as a form of discipline. so richelle carey is here to highlight what some of you are

saying about spavging. richelle? >> they're saying a lot, christi. >> i know. sorry to bankrupt you. just to the clarify, when we say more frequently, we should put out there, it's more than two time as month. >> right. >> considered to be more frequently. >> right. classified. depending how your kid behaves. some saying, oh, that's nothing. depends. okay. let me share facebook comments with you. richelle carey hln is where you're getting into a heated discussion about, to spank or not to spank. cody says, spanking is completely acceptable as long as the parent is doing it out of love and as a means of discipline rather than out of his or her own anger. discussions about spanking with the child are also important so that the child knows he or she's being disciplined and not simply beaten. another pin. a lazy way of parenting. takes a lot more character to teach your kids why not, than to resort to popping them every time you don't like something

they do. they don't learn much, but to fear you, and, yes, i have kids beyond spanking age. i am not just some philosopher without kids. that's often where the discussion goes, do you have kids? erin's like, yeah, i got kids. randy says, if all else fail, spank. will do more good than harm. it has been proven for centuries. anyone with issues because of being spanked needs to stop whining and using it as a whine anything or anything. it's pathetic. jim calling from tennessee. jim has been holding. jim, you do not hold back a paddle, though? you believe in spanking. yes? >> caller: yes. >> okay. go ahead. why? >> caller: having been a teacher and a parent, you can always identify the children that are

not spanked, because of their behavior. they tend to be more aggressive. they tend to be more disruptive. they have less respect for themselves and for the others in the classroom, and when a person says that spanking is bad, a lot of times the parent is taking the lazy way out. the time-out thing. a lot of times children don't really care for that. a child, a lot of times, will be able to tell you when they were spanked and why, and they don't have a problem with it. it's the parents that are probably -- the parents that have the problem and it takes interaction. dr. spock himself pointed out he was the one responsibilities for the modern era idea of don't spank, and he said, he was responsible for a generation of

brats. >> jim, let me ask you think, though. how about this as an idea. that maybe spanking works with some children, and. doesn't work with other children, and maybe it's about the parent taking the initiative to know their child and what works with their child? >> caller: well, that's true. not every child is the same. you can't label everybody the same, but most children, at some point or another, will need some spanking, but when you do spank them, if you speak with them beforehand, tell them why they're going to be spanked. then after their spanked explain to them again why they were spanked. >> sum it up, jim. we're about how time. you're saying don't just pop them. kind talk to them as well. >> caller: yes. >> donna from alabama. you say spanking no way? >> caller: yeah. i do believe that spanking a child is a form of disflan leads to more aggressive behavior with a child when an adult spanx. as a child, it's not a far

stretch to deduct that the physical aggression is an adjustable way to release our aggression to the world, as well we're growing up. whatever degree of punishment you have, no matter how much or how little, children become accustomed to it and whatever is the worst is the worst. so the adults that i know that have, cannot remember being spanked as a child tell me when their parents would simply tell them they're disappointed, they felt they had been crushed. it's not necessarily necessary to physically touch a child with discipline and people tend to want to justify their inability to show restraint because of their own issues. i'm an aggressive woman and everybody i do passionately and aggressively. i certainly work on these things myself. >> donna, we're about out of time. thank you. the study, spanking leads to less aggressive behavior or more? and you hold strong to the idea,

spanking is important and it works for you. call us. 1-877-tell-hln. or text, hlntv, standard text rates apply. and christi, sometimes the way my dad would get me, just keep talking and talking and lecture, and my dad would say, give the child a break. just keep lecturing. >> goodness. i got spanked twice in my whole life and i remember what it was for. >> i got spanked twice in a week. so -- >> oh, you did not. we know better than that. i wonder if kate gosselin spanks? >> oh, wow. >> i know. didn't i bring up something all new? we're talking about her. she's fighting back as she dances with the stars and her ex is calling her about absentee mom. what she's saying now. a mod

james is for the first time publicly apologizing to sandra bullock in an interview on an australian tv show, michelle bombshell mcgee is sorry for the problems this may have caused. "sandra, i'm sorry for your embarrassment, i'm sorry all this is public. i'm sorry for everything." also saying james dupe her. he told her he and bullock were separate brd they began their 11-month affair. i feel like i was lied to as much as she was. if jesse was up front with knee the beginning we wouldn't be in this situation. mcgee has also been hurt by

allegations she's a white supreme sift. the widely circulated picture of her the theme of a photo shoot, which she admits was probably a bad idea. kate gosselin is firing back against her ex-husband's claim she's an absentee mom. brooke anderson is in hollywood. using her "dancing with the stars" to defend herself? >> striking back at her ex, who thinks she's an absentee mother, addicted to paparazzi, caught up in all the glamour of hollywood. this, as jon is suing kate for primary custody of their eight kids. well, kate, of course, not taking this lying down. listen to what she told the "today" show. >> i'm a working mom, and cameras are on me, so people catch me traveling and working. i've got to work harder now than ever because i am a single mom, and no my heart i'm always in my kitchen baking and cooking for

my kids and i'll always be there. >> she also said, this is a real struggle for her, and, listen, i say she has every right to say, hey, hey, hey. wait just a minute. i'm not a terrible mother. and by the way, she has told us that if she went back to working as a nurse she wouldn't see her kids as much as she does now. even less. because she'd work longer hours and making less money. christi, i say, give the girl a break. "dancing with the stars" is a classy show, and she seems to be doing what she has to do right now to support her family. >> i think any working mom kind of gets it with her. i mean, you understand it to some degree. but, of course, i think everybody working or not, mother or not, is wondering, how are the kids doing with all of this? >> absolutely. and they're doing as best as any kids can, who are coping with their parents' divorce, according to kate. here's what she told the "today" show. >> they are -- you'll just hear it again and again from me.

they are the eight most fabulous kids on the planet. they're strong. they're loving. i don't see anything negative they've taken from this. i see, if anything, i see the kids and i becoming so much closer, and they're more open to me. >> do they understand the divorce? >> they do now. they've lived it for just about a year, and they don't like it. i don't think any child likes it. they still you know, say things like, oh, i wish mommy and daddy could be together, and those sort of things, but they still have their same innocent love for each of us, and i appreciate that. >> kpristy, much more on this today on "showbiz tonight." is she now the best role model for single working moms? live at 5:00 on hln. see you then. >> thank you so much.

boy, i just cannot wait tell you this story pap florida girl missing since flad been found alive. you see her right there. a member of her church who'd been helping search for 11-year-old nadia bloom found her this morning in the woods not far actually from an alligator infested swamp. pictures ever police and volunteers carrying her out. look at all the photographers there, too. she told them she was stuck in the mud and couldn't move. they're calling james king a hero. the man who found her. i think that's him there. she had waterlogged feet, covered in mosquitoes,

otherwise, okay. she was found in the nick of time. >> i never believed in miracles. i do now. i got to tell you all, we were getting close to that bewitching hour where i had to make a decision, and i wasn't looking forward to a decision. i wasn't looking forward to the decision. >> whether it was a rescue or recovery? >> right. we were getting really close. >> 12 hours? half a day or what? >> today, possibly tomorrow. today at 3:30 would have been 96 hours. >> now, the parents, bloom's parents, actually had something to say to the searchers. >> the love ever everybody, from everybody across the country praying to the canine teams across the state of florida that came out, to the s.w.a.t. teams, the helicopters. i mean, it all came so fast, and it just shows the compassion of the human spirit when things

like this happen, and it should give everybody encouragement. it heal should. >> after so many days, did you ever lose hope? >> well, our daughter's a nature lover, and she went on a bike ride, and she just stopped and went off to take some pictures. >> we want to thank, also, the winter springs, all the counties that sent officers here, and -- it was so wonderful, and the community and her school, and strangers, and we just want to say thank you. >> so many people came together. >> bloom was rushed to a hospital. police say she has asperger's syndrome. it's not clear if that played any role until her disappearance, but she back and safe right now. good to hear. and information out of florida regarding haleigh cummings. the search is again up for this little girl focusing on areas near harry father's hometown. authorities are acting on a tip and wouldn't elaborate, though.

haleigh cummings was last seen in her father ronald's home in 2009. ronald's then girlfriend and ex-wife misty croslin claims she put haleigh to bed that night and that was the last anyone saw of her. just in a jury in portland, oregon, found the boy scouts of america negligent for repeated sexual abuse. the lawsuit filed by a man who says he was abused by an assistant scout master in the 1980s. the jury awarded him $1.4 million. boy scouts of america were liable for punitive damages that will actually be decided in a separate phase of this trial. and that would be in addition, i should point out, to the $1.4 million awarded today. again, the boy scouts of america ruled to be negligent. authorities in tennessee say they have not been able to question a woman who caused outrage by sending a 7-year-old russian boy she'd adopted back to russia alone. the u.s. babied to russia says

americans are really offended about this as well. john beyrle hopes thements won't jeopardize adoption by u.s. citizens. the boy is being attended to in a moscow hospital and in good hands. put on a flight alone way note saying he was violent and had severe psychological problems. so far, there are no charges against the woman. >> what we're going to have to do at this point is continue the investigation, try to dig into and get enough evidence to bring charges. and that's the only way we're going to get to talk to her, looks like. so i guess we're kind of getting our hand forced here. >> the woman who returned the boy hasn't spoken publicly and an adoption agency says officials haven't even been able to contact her since late march. listen to this one. consumer reports issued a warning about the lexus gx-460 manufactured by toyota and the magazine says the suv carries an unusually high risk of a

rollover accident during certain types of turns. it's urging people not to buy the vehicle until the problem's been fixed. 5,000 gx-460s have been sold in the three months since it went on sale. and it's not covered by toyota's faulty gas pedal recalls, but toyota says it's taking a serious look at the problem and appreciates "consumer reports" for bringing it to the company's attention. officials in one florida city say getting panhandlers money isn't a good deed but a crime. one that may soon come with jailtime. how they're trying to crack down on good samaritans?

all right. city officials in oakland park,

florida, they aren't just trying to take a hard line on panhandelers but targeting people who give them money. look at this pap proposed ordnance that's up for a vote tomorrow night. if it pass, good samaritans would face $50 to $100 fines or up to 90 days of jail time for giving a beggar money or any article of value, like food, or a newspaper. the ordinance won tentative approval last month and critics say the proposal violates civil rights associated with spree speech and unfairly targets the homeless. weren't of our "your views" topics. richelle carey is hearing what so many had to say about this. the first thing that i think a lot of us were thinking, so we're going to get thrown in jail for giving them food? >> right. wait a minute! >> i'm trying to help here. >> a little more complicated than that. that is people's first reaction, christi. throw me in jail, then, because i'm going to do it. right? it's a little more complicated. do you think it's unfair to be

fine for giving to panhandlers or do you see this as a major safety concern, because it's about traffic and everyone's safety. a pretty good conversation going on on facebook. richelle carey@hl she took her bike out way brand where one conversation is going on. michael posted, hey, i actually live here and the situation is out of control. that is why they are passing these ordinances. there is such a bad traffic problem in south florida, when you add people coming up to your car and knocking on the windows when you're trying to drive, it causes a traffic lafrd. so michael's trying to paint a picture for those of us that don't live there and think they're being mean. he's saying it's not that simple. let's talk about it. is it masha or marsia? >> caller: marsha. >> calling from frankford, indiana. how do you see the situation? >> caller: i see it -- i'm furious, actually. i feel like we need to take care of our homeless people, and i don't care. i used to live in florida, back

in the '80s, and i used to help you know, feed the people on the streets, in the park, and i am just -- i'm beside myself with this, and i would take the jailtime. i would take the fine. when you're hungry, you're hungry, and i feel this is wrong, and i would urge the people of florida to, please, step up to the plate and stop this from being voted in. >> do you see -- i hear your passion, where your heart is coming from and a lot of people do, but do you see this, some legitimate safety concerns, though? do you see that at all? >> caller: no. no, i don't. >> i didn't think you did. i thought i'd try, but i didn't think you would. >> caller: no. when you're hungry, you're hungry. you'd have to put yourselves in those people's positions. if your stomach's growling and you're hungry, you're going to do just about anything. and i really -- i'm passionate about this. >> i can see you are. thank you for the phone call.

let's talk to joe calling from columbus, ohio. joe, i think that you share some of marsha's passion, from what i understand, you think the ordinance is a little harsh, bu you kind of see where it's coming from, though. don't you? >> caller: yes. good afternoon. thank you for taking my call. >> you bet. >> caller: i strongly believe that individual who is attempting to be benevolent and kind should not be immediately fined or jailed for trying to help someone. however, i do believe that giving the traffic issues and the potential issues for crime there, that the person should perhaps be given a written warning. tell them not to do it again. but go to the panhandler and you can educate that person. there's thousands of places that those individuals could go to eat and to sleep, and they don't need to be on the side of the road creating a lot of issues that way. if it's necessary, arrest the panhandler. run them for a warrant, whatever, but i don't think

immediately the person attempting to be kind and considerate should be fined. no. >> let me ask you this, do you really picture the police really following through on this and locking up people left and right? do you really see that happening? >> caller: no. absolutely not. >> that will be interesting to see. joe, thanks for the conversation and the phone call. an e-mail from leslie in oakland park, where this is happening. he says, i think any time you can stop people begging, selling in intersections containing at many as 16 lanes is a good thing. traffic in oakland park is always full of aggressive, impatient driver, not a place to set up shop, beg or sell to make a living. keep it at the -- instead we should give them an award for actually giving -- in a tough economy. all right. one of the "your views" topics. do you think is unfair to be fined for giving to panhandler,

out there in traffic trying to get food. trying to get a buck. trying to sell you something? maybe you see this as a legitimate traffic safety concern, that it's dangerous for drivers, dangerous for the panhandlers as well. call us. 1-877-tell-hln. cnn.com/hln. text hlntv, and text 45688. >> love it. thanks so much, richelle. another story we've been talking about today. how tough should you be when it comes to tough love? there's a new study out on spanking. is it a good way to discipline your kids? we'll tell what you this research found.

well, pittsburgh steeler quarterback ben roethlisberger arrived for a meeting with nfl commissioner roger goodell. roethlisberger won't face criminal charges in georgia, in case you hadn't heard yet. a district attorney says he doesn't have the evidence to prove the quarterback sexually assault add college student last month. roethlisberger did issue an apology for what he did, though. >> i am truly sorry for the

disappointment and negative attention i have brought to my family, my teammates, coaches, the rooneys, and the nfl. i understand that the opportunities i have been blessed with are a privilege, and that much is expected of me as a quarterback of the pittsburgh steelers. i absolutely want to be the leader this team deserves. valued in the community, and a role model to kids. i have much work to do to earn this trust, and i'm committed to improving and showing everyone my true values. >> steelers' president art rooney confirms he's been meeting with the quarterback about his off-field behavior including a sexual assault lawsuit that's still pending in nevada. i'm jane velez-mitchell, and here's myism. a sex scandal, no charges filed against pittsburgh steelers' quarterback ben roethlisberger. a 20-year-old college student says he sexually assaulted her in a bar bathroom after a night

of heavy boozing. she immediately went to the hospital and doctors found genital injuries but the d.a. says the victim was extremely intoxicated and the woman's story changed from one version when drunk to another when sobered up. she ask the d.a. not to press criminal charge, even though she is not recanting her claim. the fact that a woman is drunk is certainly no excuse to victimize her, but it does make it harder for an alleged victim to seek justice. women need to know that when they get trashed they also may trash their credibility. i'm jane velez-mitchell and that's my "issue." watch jane velez-mitchell every night on hln. prosecutors in prince georges, take a look at this. officers seen. the gentleman in this case walking up to an officer on his horse. and then look what happens. that's a university of maryland

student than was beaten with nightsticks. you can see it there. it happened march 3rd during the sell bragtss that following the maryland back team beating duke. this video was shot by another student. a police officer is a pended and they're looking into documents that police filed in this case. those documents allege the student and another suspect hit the mounted officers and their horses. now, you just saw this video. a policeman tells cnn those claims aren't supported by this video. here it is again. you can see it for yourself. charges against both suspects have been dropped. it's not clear whether the suspended officer wrote the charging documents. authorities are still working to identify all of the officers there in that video. boy, a chaotic scene at virginia's james madison university. riots erupted at the annual springfest party on saturday. an i-reporter was there.

things flying through the air here. there goes a chair. people started throwing beer cans and bottles for no reason in this field between two rose vets apartments. you saw one person throw a chair. the i-reporter doesn't want to be named. at one point it appeared the crowd swepted to thousands. by the time police showed up, most people had left but a lot of property damage. dozens arrested, however. according to local reports, a lot of those involved in the riots weren't even university students. thank you so much to our i-reporter who will be nameless. we will rep that and are glad you're ak. if you have 3ik pictures or videos, go to ireport.com and click on the upload now link. more evidence that spanking your kids does nor harm than good. wrap do you think of this? tulane university studied close to 2,500 children and found those spanked more often were more likely to be aggressive. >> we looked at mothers who

reported they had never spanked in the one part of the interview. mothers who said they had sparnged one or two times in the month before, mothers that said they had spanked even more frequently than that in the month prior to the interview, and what we found is as you said, that those mothers that had spanked more frequently or the children of those mothers that had been spanked more frequently at age 3 had much higher odds, 50% higher odds, of being aggressive by the time they were age 5. >> the researchers also said the association between spanking and aggression was strong even after taking into account factors like parental violence, drug and alcohol use, and maternal neglect and depression. so we want to know if you agree. does spanking lead to more aggressive behavior? call us at 1-877-tell-hln or e-mail us cnn.com/hln. text us or go to our facebook pages, christi paul hln.

well, as expected tiger woods returns to golf -- or the return i should say resulted in a big ratings jump for the masters. viewership for sunday's final round was up 36% from the previous year. surprisingly, it still wasn't a record. tiger's first masters win in 1997 is on top there, but sunday was still the third highest rating for a final round of any golf tournament since 1986. a sniper's bullet left him paralyzed. now a u.s. soldier's bittersweet homecoming actually includes a new home. how a volunteer group is making all this happen.

it all came so fast, and it just shows the compassion of the human spirit when things like this happen. it should give everyone encouragement, it really should. >> i intend to make my family, friends, and the steeler nation proud on all fronts. there is no federal law that we can find to charge anybody with on this, so guess what, tag, you're it. i think the vatican -- i think they have more to talk about than the people.

hi, everybody, i'm chuck roberts. great stories. hln "news and views." we have a story just in. a jury in portland has found the boy scouts of america negligent for repeated sexual abuse. a lawsuit was filed by a man who says he was abused by an assistant scout master in the early 1990s. the jury awarded him $1.4 million. the panel also said the scouting organization was liable for punitive damages that will be decided at a separate phase of the trial. that would be in addition to the award announced just today. a florida girl who had been missing since friday has been found alive. a member of her church who had been helping search for 11-year-old nadia bloom found her this morning in the woods not far from an alligator infested swamp, lake jesup. searchers told police she was stuck in the mud, she couldn't move. these are pictures of police and volunteers carrying her out. the church's pastor says bloom was dehydrated, covered with mosquito bites, had waterlogged feet. earlier her parents thanked everyone involved in the search.

>> it all came so fast, and it just shows the compassion of the human spirit when things like this happen, and it gives -- it should give everybody encouragement. it really should. >> after so many days did you ever lose hope? >> of course. >> well, our daughter is a nature lover, and she went on a bike ride, and she just stopped and went off to take some pictures. >> law enforcement analyst mike brooks here now with more on this successful search and rescue. dozens of law enforcement agencies were involved, right? >> there were, five days. and it's amazing. they were able to find exactly where she was. this church member called in and said he had found her and he went up to the top of a tree with some toilet paper so the helicopter could find them. they basically -- the florida department of law enforcement honed in on his cell phone signal and they were able to give the coordinates to the helicopter and get the exact location. then the emergency response team from the police department came in and pulled her out of this

pud and carmud and carried her the wilderness. a great story after so many other stories we cover all the time here. >> a lot of back-patting. it was a huge success. i guess that was the one area the helicopter pilots hadn't gone over, right? >> well, the chief was talking about today and they had looked in one area. they thought it was a dry area. so they were going to concentrate their search apparently in this particular area, but there had been people out searching day and night for this -- for nadia and this one church member who was a volunteer, he's the hero in this particular case, and -- but, again, it was -- >> and no reason to suspect he had anything to do with this. >> me being the ultimate cynic, i always think of that, but no, apparently not. they're calling him the hero. >> in maryland prosecutors investigating a police beating caught on tape. let's take a look at that real quickly and tell me what you think this is. it's a celebrant after maryland's upset win over duke. goes up to some mounted officers and is standing there and all of

a sudden for no apparent reason he's beaten with sticks. repeatedly. what do you make of this? >> well, chuck, this is prince georges county police. >> what was the provocation. >> this was taken apparently from a dorm room after the maryland/duke game and you saw this guy -- right before this you saw him skipping along the wall there, and there was a mounted unit from the prince georges county maryland national park and planning commission police. they came up and i don't know what kind of words were exchanged, but to me if something he said was not what the police liked because you would have seen him being moved pie that mounted officer. that's usually what happens. but then you saw these officers from the prince georges county police department in full riot gear come up and just tee off on him. chuck, i always say when cops do good and cops don't do -- don't do particularly well, this was a jurisdiction, i have friends in this department, i used to work

with this department when i-in the metropolitan police department. they're right across southern avenue from the d.c. police, this is not looking good for these officers. was there excessive force? right now i would say yes. >> is there a point in a chaotic situation when you're being outnumbered, everybody is out of control, where you lose the sense of what policy is supposed to be? >> you know, sometimes you do get caught up in the adrenaline, but you still are a professional police officer, and you have to act accordingly, and these officers here i don't know their extent of training, but one officer has been suspended and the chief of the prince georges county police department is saying there could be some disciplinary action taken against other officers and there's a possibility other officers could be fired. >> were there false police reports filed? >> don't know about that. >> all right. >> but right now we look at this man who was hit by officers and it doesn't look good, but there is a full investigation and i can tell you that there is a full investigation under way.

i have spoken with people up there and they're not taking this lightly. >> i appreciate your candor, mike. good to see you. l.a. police meanwhile are paying tribute to a fellow officer killed in the line of duty in afghanistan. a s.w.a.t. officer, robert coddel was in a marine corps reservist unit, his third tour. he was killed last month when his vehicle struck a bomb. he is you are jived by his wife and their infant daughter. new information in the search for the missing florida girl, little haleigh cummings. a massive search has begun and it focuses on the area near her father's hometown. the clisheriff said the authoris are acting on a tip. she went missing in february 2009 last seen in her father ronald's home. his then girlfriend and ex-wife misty crossland claims she put her to bed. ben roethlisberger has arrived for a meeting with the nfl commissioner roger goodell about recent allegations against

him. he won't face criminal charges in georgia where a d.a. says he doesn't have the evidence to prove the quarterback sexual assaulted a college student last month. roethlisberger did issue this apology for what he did. >> i am truly sorry for the disappointment and negative attention i have brought to my family, my teammates, coaches, the rooneys, and the nfl. i understand that the opportunities i have been blessed with are a privilege and much is expected of me as a quarterback of the pittsburgh steelers. i absolutely want to be the leader this team deserves, valued in the community, and a role model to kids. i have much work to do to earn this trust, and i am committed to improving and showing everyone by true values. >> steelers president art rooney confirms he's been meeting with the quarterback about the off-field behavior, including a sexual assault lawsuit pending in nevada. consumer reports magazine has issued a warning about the lexus gx-460 manufactured by

toyota. the magazine says the suv carries an unusually high roll over risk during a certain type of turn. it's urging people not to buy the vehicle until the problem has been fixed. it is not covered by toyota's faulty gas pedal recall. toyota says it's taking a serious look at the problem and appreciates consumer reports for bringing it to their attention. how tough should you be when it comes to tough love? a new study on spanking is out? is it a good way to discipline your kids at long last? what the research found. we'll also get "your views" on corporal punishment.

the two surviving apollo 13 astronauts and the mission's flight director reyuted to mark the anniversary. the mission almost turned into a full disaster when an oxygen tank exploded. one of the men on board talked

about what happened. >> it was really an oxygen tank going out but it took us a little while to find out. when we looked out the window and saw the oxygen going out we knew that we were in deep trouble. >> the crew used a sock and duct tape to fix the problem and eventually returned safely to earth but it was a close call. there is new evidence that spanking your kid early does more harm than good. do you buy that? tulane university studied almost 2500 children and found those spanked more frequently at the age of 3 were then more likely to be aggressive by the time they turned 5. it found the association between spanking and aggression was strong, even after taking into account factors like parental violence and drug and alcohol abuse. richelle carey is here to highlight some of your comments on spanking. did your parents spare the rod? >> heck no. >> no way. >> i might even get a spanking

from my mom just for telling that you. i don't think she wants me telling people, but this is one thing i think we figured out, chuck. these studies don't convince the other side to change their mind. parents just know what they know what they know that worked for them, all right? so we're trying to share as many views as possible. so let's pull some comments. we got some e-mails at cnn.com/hln. c.l. in dallas sent us this. i get so tired of the spanking debate. the spoiled children of these very people who hate spanking make it impossible for people to enjoy themselves near those unruly kids. my three were spanked and have grown into very respectful, educated individuals who have never been violent. you may not agree with c.l.'s point of view but that's kind of a funny e-mail. kelly wrote, if god says to do it guess that it must be okay. read your bible. spare the rod and spoil the child. god's words not mine. a lot of comments like that.

facebook, richelle carey hln is how you can get into the facebook debate. your job as a parent is to see to the safety and health of your child, not to make them fear you. they can't reason and understand like adults because their brain is still developing. therefore, by spanking them and using fear and aggression to teach them who is boss, that creates aggression in your own kid. don't blame anyone but yourself if they haul off and hit you back. oh, that never crossed my mind. it's a healthy response that you taught them. vicki says if my kids see me resolve conflict was aggression and spapging, then they hit each other. how do i teach them hands to themselves then put my hands on them? just because i am bigger and a stronger person, that does not give me the right to inflict pain upon a little one. children should listen out of respect, not fear, and parents earn respect by respecting their children, and hitting is not one of them. so people are firmly entrenched

in one camp or another. and they make really good cases actually on both sides. will is calling from florida, and will has tried both tactics as a parent. he's tried the time-out, he's tried the spanking. okay, will, which did you find worked better for you? >> i found the spanking was not that effective. putting a kid in a room, the child has control of that. every five or ten minutes, i have to go to the bathroom. what i found if they did something wrong, i put them in the bathroom, they would have a drink of water, if they need to go to the bathroom, it's there. they said, dad, that's the worst thing you ever did. it's like being in jail, but it's very effective. >> you sound very reasonable. do you think that maybe it also depends on the child? that there are certain children that maybe the time-out wouldn't work for, that they would just think this is ridiculous and laugh it off and maybe a spanking here and there might work for certain kids or do you just think you personally would try to find something better?

or sig different, maybe not better? >> caller: i would thinker -- every child is an individual. you take their freedom away, that they don't like. >> taking the freedom away really is a bad one. will, thank you for the conversation. i appreciate it. it's good that your children talk to you about those types of things. facebook comments, mavis sis all these studies are nothing more than trying to brainwash parents. i raised four children, spanked when needed. they all grew up to be responsible adults. none in jail and none with anger towards others. so i disagree with the study. that's what i was saying, chuck. people believe what they believe regardless of what the studies say. but the studies make for a good jumping off point for discussion. ashley says, i think the reason why some kids today are spoiled rotten is because their parents are not disciplining them. putting them in time-out isn't going to do anything. but will said it worked for him.

ashley went on to say, they will grow up thinking i will get into trouble and all they do is put me in a corner for 15 minutes. does spanking lead to more aggressive behavior or you think it works for me and i'm going to keep doing it and this is why it works. make your case either way. call us 1-877-tell-hln. e-mail, cnn.com/hln. text hlntv, standard text rates apply. get your views in. more to come.

officers when they got there. glad you guys found me, can't believe you rescued me. >> can you imagine being there stuck in the mud day in, day out. she was rushed to a hospital. police said she has asperger's syndrome. it's not clear if that played any role in her disappearance. in tennessee authorities have not been able to question the woman who caused outrage by sending back the 7-year-old russian boy back. there have been no charges filed against torry hansen, the adoptive mother. >> what we're going to have to do at this point is continue the investigation, try to dig into and get enough evidence to bring charges, and that's the only way we're going to get to talk to her it looks like. so i guess we're kind of getting our hand forced here. >> hansen has not spoken

publicly about any of this. today on cnn a psychologist said the boy's alleged bad behavior is very common. >> children from eastern european adoption placements, especially eastern bloc, have been raised in some of the most derived, damages conditions where there's been no bonding, attachment, family relationships, abuse and neglect. so they have been without a family. so coming out of these orphanage settings, these children are fer feral, impulsive, and coming to a know home is element a noxious stimuli. they will act under socialized, violent and aggressive more out of anxiety and fear of adjustment. it's common for an older child to act this way. the u.s. ambassador to russia said she hopes it would not jeopardize russian adoptions. john beyrle said the boy is in

disappointment and negative attention i have brought to my family, my teammates, coaches, the rooneys, and the nfl. i understand that the opportunities i have been blessed with are a privilege and that much is expected of me as a quarterback of the pittsburgh steelers. i absolutely want to be the leader this team deserves, valued in the community, and a role model to kids. i have much work to do to earn this trust, and i am committed to improving and showing everyone my true values. >> steelers president art rooney confirms he has been meeting with the quarterback about his off-field behavior, including a sexual assault lawsuit still pending in nevada. i'm jane velez-mitchell and here's my issue. once again drunkenness plays a central role in a sex scandal. no charges will be filed against ben roethlisberger. a 20-year-old college student said he sexual assaulted her in

a bar bathroom. she immediately went to the hospital where authorities say doctors found genital injuries but the d.a. says the alleged victim was extremely intoxicated and her story changed from one version when she was drunk to another when she sobered up. that young woman later asked the d.a. not to press criminal charges even though she's not recanting her claim. the fact that a woman is drunk is certainly no excuse to victimize her, but it does make it harder for an alleged victim to seek justice. women need to know that when they get trashed, they also may trash their credibility. i'm jane velez-mitchell, and that's my issue. >> find out what else jane has on her mind tonight at 7:00 eastern right here on hln. new information in the search for the missing florida little girl haleigh cummings. a new search has begun focusing on her father's hometown and specifically a river near her home. the putnam county sheriff's

thank you. >> what do you think of this? >> caller: i think it's wrong to put anyone in jail that's a good samaritan. that should never happen in america but i see the real danger of them running out to stoplights in traffic. i think that they definitely shouldn't do that and the only way to stop it is to not give them money when they do that and maybe it will come to fining them. i think a $100 fine is pretty stiff, but it may come to that. but any other situation i think you should totally be allowed to help the homeless and the down. >> you know, the word spreads pretty fast and if they know people are going to get fined for just rolling down the window and handing them a buck, they're going to find some other place to solicit, right? >> caller: i agree with that. >> thanks. good call. thank you. here is an e-mail from william who writes, i agree with the proposed law. in our area many of the panhandlers rent dogs to appeal for more money and rent wheelchairs to attract more. the local tv stations have taped crippled in quotes panhandlers

undergarme undergarments, but i can tell you there's still crime tape up around the room where they last believe that she was with her husband at that time. also we're finding out that she died of asphyxiation from a pillow or a bag. >> oh, my goodness. >> clear something up for me, as i understand it this couple has two children, were the children with them on this vacation or were they not. >> reporter: the two children were with them on the vacation, however it's not clear when the children went back to the states, our understanding is that the children were with mr. beresford-redman when he went to the police station. there have been some inconsistent cities in the husband's story, apparently he says that his wife went shopping last monday, however it has been confirmed from the attorney general that the two had a matrimonial argument in their hotel room that evenings. he did not report her missing until tuesday, the following day and there's also been reports that there were witnesses around the hotel area who overheard

them arguing in their hotel room and hearing a woman screaming out crying for help. >> so since he -- since this happened in mexico, if he faces charges, obviously he faces charges there in mexico. do we know how that might come about as opposed to what we know of the u.s. judicial system? >> reporter: you know, we're not sure at this point, what we do know is that he has met with a high profile attorney who has previously defended dog chapman, the bouchnty hunter, he has not obtained official could have been sill, he's not in the cancun area, he's in an undisclosed location outside of cancun, the attorney general is not telling us exactly when things may happen, if the arrest is going to be imminent, he did indicate that things are very fluid this case and they are just waiting for those forensic test results to come back. >> natishia lance, thanks for

let me ask you this, how tough should you be when it comes to tough love. a new study on spanking is out. is it a good way to discipline your kids? what the research found.

a the debate is out on this one. there's more evidence out that spanking your kids does more harm than good. those who were spanked more frequently at the age of 3 were more likely to be aggressive by the time they turned 5. they said the link between spanking and aggression were strong after taking into factors such as aggressive parents and maternal depression. i want to get to your views segment, this is where you get to be part of the show and we love this, go to my facebook page at christipaulhln to get in

on the discussion here. brandy says i do think it causes aggressive behavior because they're being taught that violence is the answer. but i have also noticed that those particular kids also know better than than the ones who don't get spanked. jennifer wrote, i just don't spank my kids, i just sit down and talk it out. if it doesn't work they lose their favorite toy for a day. c.l. in dallas says i get so tired of the spanking debate, the spoil children of these very children who hate spanking make it impossible for people to enjoy themselves next to those who don't get spanked. if god says to do it, then it must be okay, spar the rod spoil the chilly.

god's words, not mine. what do you think about this whole thing? >> caller: i have three small children, and i think spanking is okay, there's a difference between spanking and beating someone and i think our problem today is we try to reason with kids and there's no respect for authority, and i think we're parents, we're the adults and we need to teach our children to be more respectful and spanking is perfectly fine in certain situations. >> what do you think about the confusion that it might cause, people say that if you hit them, it's hard to teach them not to hit. >> here's the whole thing, when you're talking about kids being aggressive and more assertive, i think look at the parents, if the parents are outgoing and assertive, i think a lot of it is in the genes, i think if you look at a lot of people, you ask them, the majority of them will probably spank their children. >> carrie, thank you for your thoughts. renee is calling up from maine

now. renee go ahead. >> reporter: i was raised with the whole spare the rod spoil the child thing. i don't believe that it teaches anyone other than a punitive way of life. you're raised in an atmosphere of fear. you're not getting -- when you're being punished for doing something incorrectly, it just teaches you to be afraid of the reaction of the parent. >> okay, i understand you, i'm sorry, i'm getting wrapped here, renee, thank you very much for sharing your thoughts with us as well, that's what this is all about and we so appreciate your comments. all right, now we're going to talk about taking charge of your career. so it's that time of year, the time of the annual review. now it was even in the "wall street journal," i know how most people feel about these, probably you hate them. some people think that they're

uncomfortable, you might think i have to suck up. look, that is a very normal way of seeing these. but it's not something that's going to really help you out. that's not a powerful way to see this. so i invite you to kind of try this out. what if you saw your interview as your moment at the plate, your shot at a raise or a promotion to keep your paycheck or even just to keep your job, to hold on to it. so before you into your meeting, you know, ask yourself, am i really doing what my boss wants me to be doing? that's one way to see your job. and if it's for anyone, that's for a waiter or a nurse or a news person, go in there and be willing to try what your boss wants. walk in the room like that. and this week we're going to talk about the moment after you're praised when your boss says here's where you could have improved. i'm jennifer westhoven.

the nebraska bill is in part designed to shut down one of the few late-term abortion clinics in the country. the governor is also signing a bill today that requires women to be screened for mental health problems and other issues before having abortions. authorities in tennessee say they have not been able to question a woman who caused outrage by sending a 7-year-old russian boy she had adopted back to russia alone. the u.s. ambassador to russia says americans are also really upset about what happened here. john buyerly says he's opening this won't jeopardize the adoptions of other russian children by u.s. citizens. the boy is being tended in a moscow hospital and he's in good hands. he was put on an airplane saying he was violent and had psychological problems. so far there's no charges against the woman. >> what we'll have to do at this point is continue the investigation, try to dig into

and get enough evidence to bring charges and that's the only way we're going to get to talk to her, it looks like. so we're getting our hand forced here. >> the woman who returned the boy hasn't spoken publicly and an adoption agency says officials haven't been able to contact her her since late march. a jury in portland, oregon has found the boy scouts of america negligent for repeated sexual abuse. the lawsuit was filed by a man who says he was abused by an assistant scout master in the early 1980s. in jury awarded him $1.4 million. the panel also said that the scouting agency was awarded punitive damages and that will be in addition to the award announced today. consumers are being warned about this car. the suv carries an unusual high risk of an rollover accident during certain types of turns.

people who give them money. an ordinance is going under vote tonight and under it good samaritans would face $150 fine or a 90-day jail time. the ordinance won tentative approval last month and critics say the proposal violates civil rights associateded with free speech and that it unfairly targets the homeless. so we're asking you, our viewers about this whole thing. do you think it's unfair to be fined for giving the panhandlers or is it just a traffic concern? christi paul hln facebook is where you can find me. stacy writes it breaks my heart because a lot of our homeless are retired military service members that for whatever reason can't get the help they need and some people with mental illness can't get the help that they need and deserve. have some compassion and be a little understanding of those les fortunate. >> i think that this law can be

a good thing, i live in an area where the homeless are on every corner, giving money to them assures them that it's an okay thing to do and a substitute for a job. and alex talk about this, if the light is already red and you're already stopped what's the harm? why punish those few people who feel like being generous to those who for whatever reason are down on their luck. city officials should consider other measures as a deterrent, enforcement of such a policy will definitely cause more problems. the threat of 90 days in jail for donating to a panhandler is rather extreme. thank you all so much for chiming in because that's what this segment is all about. you knew this was coming, right? twitter introducing ads? now that's not all. companies are going to be able to pay to have their messages show up first in searches on the site. best buy, sony pictures, starbucks, virgin america, all among the advertisers using the

their parents' divorce can according to kate, here's what she said about that. >> they are -- you'll just hear it again and again from me, they are the eight most fabulous kids on the planet. they're strong, they're loving, i don't see anything negative they have taken from this. i see if anything, i see the kids and i becoming so much closer. and they're more open to me. >> do they understand the divorce? >> they do now, they have lived it for just about a year. and they don't like it, i don't think any child likes it, they still, you know, say things like oh, i wish mommy and daddy could be together and those sort of things, but they still have their same innocent love for each of us and i appreciate that. >> by the way, jon's attorney has said that he would love to settle their legal dispute. and that he would also do another show with kate under the right circumstances. can you imagine that? we're going to have much more on
