that oomph this morning. >> look at this beautiful dress. you're just ready for the morning. >> that sunshine is going to carry us through. also this morning, what's lifting us up, good news, actually. the new details about that happy ending in the search for a missing boy in texas. >> 3-year-old christopher ramirez found safe and sound. four days after wandering away from his house. a good samaritan who heard about the search, went out and looked himself and found the boy. >> just incredible. here's a photo of the boy minutes after getting him to safety. marcus moore is live in dallas with more. marcus, this is what we were all hoping for. >> reporter: gio, good morning. prayers were answered, people across the country are feeling that sense of relief. but no one more so than christopher's mother. reunited.

after a landowner went searching on saturday. this texas family is finally reunited. >> the child was found alive. he's alive. he's thirsty. he is with his mother and is going to the hospital. >> praise the lord. >> yes, sir, yes, sir. >> reporter: it's been five days since authorities say that 3-year-old christopher ramirez vanished while chasing a dog into the woods. officials say that the dog returned but christopher did not. rescue crews and volunteers, by ground, air and water, now christopher is safe. >> we really put our heart and soul that he was out in these woods. it's heart wrenching to know that if a child is out there the urgency to find him really pulls on everybody's heartstrings. >> reporter: an unnamed local home owner heard of christopher's disappearance at bible study. began reportedly searching near his home. >> a citizen was walking his property, heard a whimper, maybe a cry, and saw the little boy, took him in his arms and called in, we responded with the mother and reunited them.

>> reporter: officials calling another neighbor the unsung hero of the case, she saw christopher chase the dog down the street. and pointed searchers to the woods. >> i'm just happy he's alive. >> reporter: after wandering through the rugged terrain, the sheriff said that christopher was founded very dehydrated but showed true bravery. >> he was in good shape for most part, with the conditions in the woods for three days, he ought to be the ultimate army ranger, navy s.e.a.l., air force, when he grows up, he's already passed that first test. >> reporter: yes, he has. christopher was said to be calm when they found him in that thick wooded area, and we're talking about thousands of acres of pipeline trails, just really rugged terrain there, and the land owner said that he heard his voice he sent police to this scene.

>> thank you for being us that incredible story. we're going to turn now to that scare abroad an american eagle flight over at laguardia airport in new york, after a man was reportedly acting suspiciously on the plane, that man is now in custody, and our phil lipof joins us now with what happened on that plane. phil, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, gio. as that plane as you mentioned was reaching new york, passengers onboard tell us, a another man was acting pretty suspiciously, so much so the pilot called for an emergency landing, and once on the ground, there was no gate, no jetway, just confusion. >> the plane has been evacuated. >> reporter: this morning, an investigation into what happened abroad american eagle flight 4817 after the flight from indianapolis to new york was suddenly evacuated leaving passengers panicked. >> some people were yelling bomb. some people were yelling fire. it's very unclear what

was happening. most people were saying, run, go. >> reporter: just before 3:00 saturday afternoon the pilot called for an emergency landing after passengers on the flight raised concern about what they said was suspicious behavior from one person. >> the lady sitting next to him, she had two babies. apparently she was telling him, don't do it, don't do it. something like that. >> reporter: a college student, several rows in front of that man, he said the plane landed hard. passengers frantically escaping through the deployed emergency slide. >> everyone was just shoving and pushing, jumping out of the airplane, they lost a slide, people were falling off the slide left and right. people were bleeding. it was crazy. >> reporter: dozens of first responders, ambulances, police cars crowding the airplane, ready on the tarmac. minutes later, the man is seen here pinned to the ground by local authorities as passengers look on. at one point you can see police moving them back. >> it was kind of unsettling. this guy that was on my flight. evacuated with the rest of us. >> reporter: american released a statement saying, the plane deplaned on the taxiway at laguardia due to a potential security issue. the aircraft landed safely and all customers deplaned without incident.

now to the coronavirus emergency. as vaccine mandates spread throughout the country, employees faced with the difficult decision, get vaccinated or get fired? good morning, zohreen. the county sheriff says he will not enforce the mandate in his department. >> reporter: good morning, linsey. there is no end in sight when it comes to the war on vaccine mandates, and it could have a big impact on our communities and possibly public safety. this morning, battle lines being drawn nationwide over vaccine mandates. in seattle, nearly 300 sworn police officers still haven't submitted vaccination proof before the october 18th deadline meaning they could get fired. there's already an officer shortage and now some worried about response times in emergency situations. >> response times are already bad. >> reporter: a seattle business has been broken into three time

phone call from the alarm company, the police never showed up, and i know that they have other stuff to do. a theft might not be the highest priority. >> reporter: in los angeles, the sheriff saying his agency won't enforce the new vaccine mandate stating all county employees had to be fully vaccinated by object 1st. >> i don't want to lose 10%, 15% of my workforce overnight with a vaccine mandate. at the same time bare bones with funding effort. >> reporter: new york, new vaccine requirements for municipal workers, with no testing alternatives which could include the nypd and fdny. in the country's major push to vaccinate, hospital admissions have been down nationally by 40% in the last month, but some states are struggling. in the country's mountain region hospitalizations are increasing. >> this pandemic does start to wear on us.

it's exhausting. it's hard to -- it's hard to see patients, especially in this wave, where we're seeing the most we've ever seen in helena. > reporter: icus in utah, overwhelmed. >> it's extremely rare that we get a patient that isn't here for covid. >> reporter: and now the policy lab at children's hospital of philadelphia saying that rates of infection could get worse in the northeast as we approach winter. experts are reminding people that cases jumped last year between halloween and the new year, but they don't expect the cases to be as bad this year -- the surges to be as bad because of vaccinations and natural infections. trevor. >> we sure hope they're right. zohreen shah, thank you. we're not yet out of the woods. as if covid isn't enough to handle on its own, now health officials are warning about a so-called twindemic, the coronavirus combined with a severe flu season. joining us is dr. julia morita.

vice president at the robert wood foundation. dr. morita, good morning. thanks for being here. >> good morning, trevor. >> to be frank, dr. morita, this is a time of a lot of health warnings, and we remember last year health officials were warning about the collision of covid and the flu, and then the flu season never really materialized, so why would this flu season be different? >> yeah, trevor, last year was a different year, we had an unusually low influenza season with very few people getting sick, very few people being hospitalized and very few people dying because of influenza. we can't necessarily assume that just because last year was like that that this year will be the same. influenza season is unpredictable as covid has been. it's really critical that we have effective tools for preventing influenza, that we have effective tools for preventing covid, and we need to take advantage of them. the vaccines is what i mean, really.

>> does the fact that not a lot of people got infected with the flu in the past couple of years mean we don't have a lot of natural immunity. >> there's a potential for that. because we had so few people that were actually infected last year, it could be there's less immunity. as a result, more people will be likely to get infected. the other tools that may have played a factor with people not getting sick with flu, people were social distancing, using masks, washing their hands more regularly, just being more careful overall, those kind of things may have contributed to the low rates of transmission of flu and we should be trying to do those kind of things to prevent flu as well as covid and get vaccinated. >> you mentioned the vaccine, no concern to getting the covid vaccine and the flu vaccine on the same day. >> yeah, we're really fortunate these vaccines can be administered. people getting the first doses of the covid vaccine they can also get the flu vaccine. if they're getting booster doses can also get the flu vaccine.

they're eligible and should be getting flu vaccines as well. >> we saw in zohreen shah's report, a lot of businesses and some hospital systems around the country have had to fire staff who have refused to get vaccinated. are you worried about staffing shortages in the hospitals in the midst of a crush of covid and flu patients at the same time. >> the thing to keep in mind, trevor, is that we have seen what the impact is of the covid vaccine on hospitalization and death, this last surge of delta virus, who was getting hospitalized and who was dying were really people who were unvaccinated. so it's critical that people get vaccinated with the covid vaccine. disease rates are coming down. things seem to be a little bit safer. we can't let our guard down. >> and it would appear we have lost dr. morita, but we do appreciate her time there. we were about to end the interview anyway, gio, so we'll

send it over to you. >> so many issues happening all at once with covid. thank you so much, trevor. now to what's next in that battle over that restrictive abortion law in texas, the justice department has until tuesday to respond to an appeals court ruling that allows the law to remain in place. after a lower court ruling temporarily blocked it. let's go to maryalice parks, she's live at the white house right now with much more on all this. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, gio, healthcare experts say all of this ping-ponging in the courts have left doctors and patients frustrated and confused. this morning, whiplash for patients and doctors in texas. >> there's a lot of anguish, a lot of pain. desperation. >> reporter: reproductive health advocates protesting after the conservative 5th circuit court of appeals reinstated the highly restrictive abortion law. that went into effect in texas last month. >> we had to cancel appointments. many patients started to beg the staff. people shouldn't be begging for health care services. >> reporter: the law allows people to bring lawsuits to those against someone who

facilitate an abortion. around six weeks into a pregnancy. the fact that it's enforced by average citizens makes it incredibly complicated for the courts. >> the supreme court has never actually had to deal with this before, whether these so-called bounty laws, this one happens on abortion, it could be on gun rights or religious freedom -- >> reporter: just last week, the lower court had put the law on pause, but less than two days after that abrupt turnaround, this new order banning more abortions in the state once again. anti-abortion advocates calling it a victory. the justice department is challenging the law, the court says it has until tuesday to make its next move. the head of planned parenthood telling us they're not supporting patients who now want to travel out of the state to get abortion care. >> we have a patient who traveled from texas, to, aurora, colorado, over 1,000 miles. this patient traveled by herself because she was so afraid that

if anyone traveled with her that they could be charged with supporting an abortion. >> reporter: it's likely the supreme court will eventually weigh in on the merits and substance on that texas law. but coming up soon, in december, the supreme court will also hear arguments around another law out of mississippi. this is a more traditional abortion law that bans most abortions after 15 weeks. experts watching that one closely, too. linsey. >> so many watching that closely. maryalice parks, thank you so much. now let's bring in abc news political director rick klein, for what's coming up on later on "this week." good morning to you, rick. let's talk, crisis averted with the debt ceiling for now, at least. so much of biden's agenda is tied into both of these infrastructure bills passing. any progress on that front? >> linsey, this is a fascinating dynamic, and it really looks like a dangerous one potentially for democrats. we have three weeks and counting until the next deadline. democrats know two key things. they know, number one, they will have to deal with the debt ceiling and government funding again this

year, and they know republicans aren't going to help them on either of those again. now you got these negotiations going on between progressives and moderates on these two big spending packages, so much of the biden agenda up in the air. there's so much mistrust around the price tag, around the motivations of these democrats and they know that this is really, everything that biden wants to get done, biden was saying yesterday, party unity is the only way to go to get everyone moving together. that's been very tough going. no signs it's going to get easier. >> at a rally last night with former trump, one day after he instructed former aides not to cooperate with the january 6th committee. citing executive privilege. it seems like there's a standoff developing at this point, is your mind, is there a chance that key witnesses will simply refuse to help and basically try to wait the committee out? >> yeah, that's where we are right now, a full-on challenge to the committee's ability to call who it wants when it wants. to talk to any witnesses who might have relevant information.

this is interesting, linsey, because this now pits the former president against the current one. the biden administration saying it's not going to back up former president trump and his aides when they try to claim executive privilege. this one is headed to the courts. we already heard from the committee. they're going to pursue criminal charges against people like steve bannon. if they continue to hold out. as for that rally, it was lost on no one, donald trump back in iowa for the first time since 2020, that's the first state in the presidential nominating calendar, and he used the opportunity to endorse some midterm candidates who are loyal to his agenda and once again to spread false claims around the last election. >> i think a lot of people are looking at the fact that took place in iowa. >> rick klein, thank you so much as always. >> watch "this week" for george stephanopoulos's exclusive interview with treasury secretary janet yellen, about the debt ceiling and the disappointing september jobs report. plus, george goes one-on-one with top facebook executive nick clegg following that explosive whistle-blower hearing.

and it's that time of the morning now when we turn it over to rob marciano with the weather. rob, the weather is not behaving. i'm seeing a lot of imaes there. >> gio, it's everybody's favorite time in the morning. you got a lot to learn. good morning, guys. we do have a lot of rain that fell across parts of north carolina. unfortunately, got about 5 inches of rain, record rainfall in this area, trees down as well, flooded roadways. 23 people rescued from homes because of the high water. more rain coming today. because of this low. we don't know it's going to be a named storm, it's bringing in the rainfall, the wind as well. we've seen the breezy conditions up and down the east coast. d.c. to atlantic city. will probably see the most rain today. we saw some rain yesterday, also across eastern south dakota, not only rainfall but severe weather, a couple dozen reports of severe weather. two tornadoes reported here and the front that's caused that is going to drift down to the south and it will bring a significant

threat for severe weather later on today, really tonight, and tulsa, this is our biggest severe weather threat we've had since spring.all right. good sunday morning.ht. i'm lisa argen little fog here from mount tam. it's going to be a warmer afternoon for most but the winds will kick up sunshine today. windy later on and then we have a red flag warning that goes into effect. monday is going to be pretty gusty out there. so today look for low 70s in oakland 76 in napa 78 in livermore the winds kicking up late in the day the north and then by tomorrow, it's a cooler day fun fact, linsey has run one marathon. the boston marathon typically run in the spring, you know that, is actually being run tomorrow because of covid, the weather looks pretty good for that. not as gnarly as this marathon in utah. >> this is something that i can't even imagine. listen to this, rescue crews in utah sprung into action after

blizzard-like conditions stranded 87 marathoners. during a 50-mile race. 50-mile race on saturday, mind you. search and rescue teams made their way through the course, on foot and on snowmobiles bringing all the runners back safely. the sheriff's office said that they were caught in whiteout conditions, with 12 to 18 inches of snow. fortunately, there were no significant injuries. i just can't imagine -- we've all run in sand before, can you imagine running in snow that deep and 50 miles. so many components to this. >> this is a sign that humans aren't supposed to run. >> and still have the energy to record it all for us. >> mountain athletes in the west are just purely phenomenal. >> very impressive stuff. and we still much more ahead on "gma" this sunday -- real life imitating fantasy. william shatner gearing up for his space voyage. and it's christmas in october, holiday shopping beginning early. we have the savings you won't

>> reporter: businesses are coping with a perfect storm in global supply chain disruptions. at the most important time of the year for their industry. >> so similar to what we're seeing with amazon and target right now with deal days, where one item will be on sale one day and then the next it will be entirely different. you're still going to see discounting, it's just not going to be the type of discounting that we've seen in the past. >> reporter: with that in mind, here are some expert tips for shoppers this year. buy early. know what you want and act quickly if you see the right item at the right price. deals may be announced based on what the company has in stock. look for cashback offers on your store credit card or your banking credit card if there's a partnership agreement. also worth noting, free shipping may be more rare this year, companies are paying 70% more this year for shipping than they did last year. trevor. >> thank you, deirdre.

interest in this critical topic. >> listen, it has been such a challenging year to say the least, but it has really brought the issue of mental health into the spotlight, hasn't it? >> this is the silver lining of the pandemic, which is, we're talking about mental health in ways that we have never talked about before. >> absolutely, are there any differences you're seeing in where we are this time of year as opposed to last year? >> good question. we're still facing uncertainty, we're still facing variables that are difficult to discern, none of us like the unknown. and so i think -- the way i think about this, teenagers and kids have disproportionately been impacted by this, gio, and so it's important to learn what worked for them last year. remember, kids are in a stage of life where they have to get out in the world,

try things, learn things, find an identity, in a way this entire endeavor has been the hardest on young people. keep that in mind. >> absolutely. let's stay on young people, because it's been especially tough for kids. i know so many parents are talking about what their 3-year-old and 4-year-olds are saying and they're having a hard time. how do we support them? >> i think the idea is to keep the conversation going, it should be easier with a 4-year-old, but a 14-year-old may be resistant. so for a 3-year-old, 4-year-old, you're looking at structure, routine, and you taking care of your mental health as a parent. that's not always easy, because parenting is a full-time 24/7 endeavor. they're going to look to you to see that the world is okay. for teenagers they may not communicate the stress as much, they may show you through actions or sleep difficulties or irritability, so i think the game is, in the teenage years, really keep the conversation

going, and when they talk to you it may be the least convenient time for you. that's the moment you have to take advantage of. >> doctor, i think it's really important that we ask here, what are the warning signs that someone you love may have be having mental health challenges? what can we do about it? >> so, remember that your years of loving someone are in the bank for your conversations so, some of the signs, sleep changes are a very common phenomenon. but not all sleep changes are mental health conditions. agitation, sadness, but not all sadness or agitation are mental health conditions. changes in energy. changes in functioning. drops in school work would be a good example. loss of interest in friends is a kind of critical one for the teen years, because, remember, they're trying to make their way in the world, gio, and find other relationships. so, if you see enough of these symptoms, you know consider talking to a pediatrician or going to an online screening tool to find out if you might be in the area of having a loved one with a mental health

condition. i don't attack it directly and say, i think you're depressed. i think you need help. i try to come alongside of it, a motivational interviewing strategy. you see you're having sleep troubles, i see that, too, can we talk about that? in this world mental health day more and more people are open to talk about their mental health. it's easy to activate defenseness if you come on too strong or too directly in my experience. >> such an important conversation. dr. duckworth, thank you so much for being here. and stick around, because "pop news" is coming up next. ♪ dr. duckworth, thank you so much for being here. and stick around, because "pop news" is coming up next. or crohn's disease, i was there. be right back. but my symptoms were keeping me from where i needed to be. so i talked to my doctor and learned humira is the #1 prescribed biologic for people with uc or crohn's disease. and humira helps people achieve remission that can last,
