>> reporter: and when the man they came to see finally took the stage, even he seemed taken aback. >> there are a lot of people here tonight. [ cheers and applause ] >> reporter: sanders riling up the crowd by going after his rival. >> if somebody gets paid 225,000 for a speech, it must be an unbelievably extraordinary speech. >> reporter: but in a stark contrast a tale of two very different campaign stops. at the same time hillary clinton held a new york rally too at a community center in the bronx, 1,200 supporters, not one mention of sanders, just that other guy. >> unlike donald trump we're not saying some people don't belong, we're not saying some people are not wanted. >> reporter: for both sides tuesday's vote is a must win. and despite clinton's double-digit lead, this morning sanders is feeling not just

hopeful but confident. >> i think that if we have a large voter turnout on tuesday, we're going to win this thing. thank you all very much. >> reporter: these were two very different events overnight. clinton spoke for 14 minutes. sanders went on for more than an hour. here's the catch, though. new york is a closed primary meaning only democrats can vote and you guys know this has helped hillary clinton. >> so far it has, cecilia, thank you very much. the debate tonight and sanders heads to the vatican as well tomorrow. more on this now from jon karl down in washington. new poll out this morning that showed the two republican front-runners actually having some issues with the general electorate. >> reporter: that's right. this poll looks at the republican candidates and shows that the most of the country simply doesn't like them. if you look at donald trump, his unfavorability rating is at 67% of the general public of registered voters but look at ted cruz. he is now at 53% unfavorability

that is the highest unfavorability he has seen throughout this campaign. he is growing more unpopular by the day. the only candidate not disliked by most of the electorate is john kasich and, of course, he's mathematically eliminating by clinching before the election. >> staying in right now. at the same time we're hearing reports that corey lewandowski, the trump campaign manager who got in that tussle with a reporter a couple months back is going to be cleared of charges by the prosecutor this morning. not going to pursue the charges but there is a big shake-up now inside the trump campaign. >> reporter: huge changes inside the campaign. corey lewandowski is not going anywhere but what trump has done is bringing in political professionals. he's bringing in the establishment, george, the latest big hire is rick wiley, the campaign manager for scott walker, he is also the former political director for the republican national committee so as trump complains about the rules he is now bringing in people that know those rules well and can navigate that system, the question is whether

or not it's too late. >> and he's got a lot of favorable states coming up. okay, jon karl, thanks very much. to that big scare at sea. a dangerous close encounter with russian jets raising echoes of the cold war and shows them repeatedly flying near a u.s. warship. the baltic sea. abc's chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz has the latest. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, robin. this morning the russians are saying they observed all safety precautions when flying by that u.s. warship, but there was nothing safe about this. the russians have not come this close to u.s. ships in decades. it's not just a dangerously close flyby, one within 30 feet of the u.s. destroyer, it is one of the most aggressive russian acts against the u.s. military since the end of the cold war. russian jets flying in a way

that simulated an attack and not just once, but over and over. in the last two days the jets making more than 30 passes over the american ship in international waters. and roaring at just 100 feet off the baltic sea causing a wake in the water as if a giant speedboat had raced by. >> it's totally unsafe. no reason to be that low. no room for error and lots of room for disaster. >> reporter: and it wasn't just the attack jets, the russians had a helicopter flying low altitude circles around the u.s. warship, more than half a dozen times. the americans on the destroyer repeatedly radioed the russian pilots of the helicopter and the jets in both english and russian but the transmissions were ignored. >> could they be entering a new chapter of looking to intimidate nato in the northern baltics or is this something where they're looking to distract nato as they begin a spring offensive in the ukraine? >> reporter: this morning they

continue to work diplomatic channels but over the last few years the russians have only gotten more aggressive with these flybys and nothing the u.s. has done so far, george, has stopped that. >> boy, so aggressive. okay, thanks very much. we move on and get the latest on that affluenza teen who fled the country after violating probation for a deadly drunk driving accident. 19-year-old ethan couch has now appeared in court for the first time as an adult sentenced to two years in jail. abc's matt gutman has the details. >> 180 days in the county jail. >> reporter: that ruling against the so-called affluenza teen ethan couch stunning the courtroom. >> 180 days in this case. >> reporter: and in the third. >> consecutive to the other cases. >> reporter: and the fourth. >> after you spend 180 days in your other three cases -- >> reporter: in total he ordered had him to serve 720 days in county lockup, nearly two full years for the drunk driving deaths of four people in 2013.

>> you're not getting out of jail today. >> reporter: if ethan couch seemed to sleepwalk through his juvenile court trial, controversially sentenced to probation his first court appearance as an adult was a rude awakening. >> this favoritism he is still a kid or juvenile is gone. it expired at 12:00 monday. he's now an adult. he needs to be treated like one. >> reporter: couch has been in jail since january when he was extradited to texas after fleeing to mexico. on the run with his mother after ethan appears to have violated parole by being at this boozy party. on wednesday he was ushered into court by the same sheriff who had vowed to track him down. >> i think that, you know, it's hit him that this is a life that what he feared if not expected. >> reporter: sporting a shaggy beard his blond roots starting to grow back now after he dyed his hair in mexico as an apparent disguise. the judge seemingly one-upping the prosecution's request for a

16-month detention adding eight additional months for violating probation plus prohibiting him from drinking or driving for another seven years. >> do you understand that? >> yes, sir. >> reporter: as part of his original sentence he was ordered to in-state rehab but court documents show his millionaire parents told the state they were unable to pay for it so taxpayers footed the bill shelling out nearly $190,000. couch's parents chipping in just about 5%. george. >> okay, matthew, thanks very much. let's go to amy with the other top stories. missing catholic priest in florida. >> a man described as a person of interest was taken into custody overnight in the search for that florida priest. reverend renee robert was last seen on sunday. police believe foul play is involved in his disappearance but they're not elaborating. overnight police tracked down 28-year-old steven murray in south carolina where they say he abandoned roberts' car.

regrets. honestly, baseball is not that important to me. i love it, it's a passion but i think every one of us is put here for a bigger purpose. and right now laroche is spending time with his family, not watching baseball, apparently he's never cheered for a team he didn't play on. >> okay. >> that is fascinating. >> a whole new perspective. >> how complex it was. >> yes. >> absolutely. >> thank you. >> thank you so much. coming up on "good morning america," mrs. america caught up in a shopping scam and then michael has more on the great escape. the great escape of inky the octopus who went awol. how he escaped from an aquarium and what he was trying to do. we don't have video, but i have a feeling it looked like that. olay regenerist renews from within... plumping surface cells for a dramatic transformation without the need for fillers.

posting a video of herself feeding her baby food that she had prechewed. more examples of parent shaming, the act of criticizing parents, even calling authorities for actions that meant and caused no real harm. for connecticut mom patty levreau, the call from a stranger to authorities about her children proved traumatic. home alone with her kids, she was still in her pajamas when she chose not to respond to a delivery man's doorbell ring. >> i'm like, okay, well, i'll be at peace if he leaves his package and i went to the bathroom. five minutes later, three cops cars showed up. >> reporter: patty noted her children had been watching tv but the deliveryman assuming something was wrong called police. >> i was mortified. i thought i was going to get arrested. >> reporter: nationally calls to authorities about kids are on the rise. according to child protective services data, calls to report possible cases of child abuse are up to 3.5 million a year.

that's an increase of nearly 12% since 2009, but the cases of actual abuse are down 4% to 679,000 meaning the overwhelming majority of calls placed to cps are without merit. the new issue of "parents" magazine addresses the growing scrutiny of moms. do you think social media is really feeling this parent shaming phenomenon? >> i think social media has kind of amplified its effects. one of our experts called it a mob mentality. >> it's not so much i'm doing this to help you as i'm doing this to really attack you. >> or to feel better about myself, right? >> reporter: sociologist christine carter says some good can come from a heightened awareness of parents but warned shaming is not the way to go. >> these are things that lead to our own feelings of temporary superiority but that are not behaviors that are helpful to society at all. >> reporter: patty says she's still recovering from the morning police were called to her house.

seeing that her children were safe, the police left but the situations made her uneasy. >> people shouldn't be looking for if something was wrong. they should just mind their own business. >> reporter: for "good morning america," paula faris, abc news, new york. >> thanks to paula for that. let's talk to our friend ericka souter from mom.me. a couple different things going on here. on the one hand on social media we saw the parents magazine talking about a mob mentality and know it's out there. >> we know parents often do this or people often parent shame because it makes them feel superior. but one of the reasons it's such an epidemic is because it's so easy to do. open up your computer. you no longer have to confront the person. you can think of something really nasty to say, type it and, boom, it's out there in the universe. it used to be when you confronted something that took a lot of nerve. now you can just attack, attack, attack and there aren't really those consequences. >> and even be anonymous. that's very different from going to authorities and turing someone in. i was shocked by those numbers there.

>> sometimes people are a little unsure of whether they should turn someone in and there's some situations where you should and so there are things that you can ask yourself. number one, is a child being physically abused? are there signs that they are experiencing serious harm to their body? number two, are there signs of sexual abuse? are you unsure of what they are so ask the school guidance counselor or pediatrician or web sources or, number three, are there signs of neglect? is this child always hungry? do they not have enough clean clothes or left alone in situations? >> clearly if you're walking in a park and see a mom or dad hitting a kid, you call the police? >> well, you know, it depends. are they swatting them a light spanking, which is allowed. parents are allowed to spank their children or is the child being harmed? are they leaving marks and bruises? is the child in a lot of pain? you have to take those into consideration when you see a situation like that. >> what are some of the positive things we can do? >> you know, think about -- a lot of moms tell us they would

think about how they would feel if someone were to write a nasty thing online or to call the police for an unwarranted situation. and, number two, you know, acknowledge the fact that no one is a perfect parent and people make mistakes and can happen to you. if you're going to go online and rip apart some mom for something that seems very innocuous or silly, you know, just i like to fall back to what my mom and grandmother told me, if you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all. >> amen to that. ericka souter, thanks very much. let's go outside to ginger. >> whoa. we've got -- sorry, we were just chatting. i always try to find who came from the farthest place. i think these guys back here win. you guys are from where? >> nairobi, kenya. >> from kenya, so they had quite a trip to come here but you're originally from new york. either way we're enjoying the morning, right? a really mild and wonderful morning. south of us it is not the same right along the gulf that

the family aspect of it, and speaking of that, your character, of course, is so fiercely protective of her cubs much like your mom? >> yes, very much like my mother. my mother, she is fiercely protective and she's the kind of person to say, if you die, i'll kill you and so i definitely wanted to channel that kind of, you know, mother who just never gives up and to this day she still texts me to find out what i've had for breakfast. >> across the sea she'll text you and see what you're eating. >> yeah, make sure i'm eating well. >> you said because you're single. you don't have children yet and said it was a way of kind of stepping into that role a little bit and being more than just yourself. >> yeah, for sure. i mean, this was an opportunity to try my hand at mothering, at least through my voice. >> ah, and your voice is unmistakable and you're having -- and congratulations, getting rave reviews on broadway "eclipsed" and the fun cast that you work with, and you seem so very close, and we're going to

show some video because backstage when they saw your "instyle" spread, they had a bit of fun with that. what's going on, lupita? >> well, i showed it to them for the first time when this was being taken, and they were just so excited about it, and we're a very close-knit cast, and we celebrate each other on a daily basis and all the things we're achieving together and on our own, and i just love being a part of that sisterhood. >> are they still speaking to you because that april fools' prank. you said it was truffles but really it was chocolate covered onions? >> yeah, i know the time of reckoning is coming. i think they're planning something behind my back, but so far so good. they need me for the show, so i'm going to be alive for a little longer. >> they need you for that but it must be wonderful. i mean, all these wonderful roles that are coming your way and that people are embracing you. every time we say that you're coming, grace is the word that comes to mind, people say, and

elegance. that must be something that warms your heart. >> of course, it does, and i feel really blessed to be able to play these roles that are so challenging, but also that are changing something in the air, you know, and introducing people to a new way of looking at the world. yes. >> well, i know that you enjoy your crew and cast with "eclipsed" and you also had a lot of fun with "star wars" and you, somebody in particular you became very close with with "star wars." >> oh, yes, my brother from another mother, john boyega, yeah, i just -- we are in constant communication, and he makes me laugh at all hours of the day. >> constant communication. he has a message for you. >> oh, my goodness. >> take a look. >> lupita nyong'o, she's forged by the gods. she has a face that mathematically makes sense and she's definitely, definitely talented. hey, love, it's john boyega. surprise. i hope "the jungle book" is going well, the tour is going well.
