4:34 am
overnight, we're told, about 55 degrees. rather cold. he rescued the 17-year-old and saw the dad bobbing in the water unconscious and that's when paramedics got involved and he didn't have a pulse but was taken to the hospital where his pulse was back. also wanted to mention the surfer's father is actually a captain with the san francisco fire department, certainly proud of his son for what he did. now, what theicose guard coast telling me come day break more resources in the water but because of the fog, it is very possible they may not be able to have a helicopter in the air, at least for the morning. reporting live in ocean beach, christie smith. >> thank you very much, christie. some parents in the south bay voicing concerns about the safety of a dicaay care. the state is investigating de colores after some parents complained about abuse. changes in their daughter's

4:37 am
his motive, though, still a mystery. >> not at this point. there's talk out there of certain things happening with a threat and things like that, that's part of an investigation and we'll look into that. it's early and we'll put that together. >> we'll help support resources them here for them. this community is a special place and i don't want that to be last lost. >> hribal told them he wanted to die. he is back in court at the end of the month. another underwater ping was detected about an hour ago as crews search, they continue that search to look for missing malaysian airlines flight 370. an australian naval plane picked up a signal in the same area and sounds were first heard earlier in the week. those pings are consistent with the plane's black boxes. crews will analyze it overnight. the smallest search zone yet. this morning a photograph of
