location, and her card was declined after she says someone, somewhere, started making illegal transactions of over $100. >> it was quick. i don't know how they do it, but they're doing it so often that you don't feel safe. >> reporter: in a statement, bank of america confirms atms are regularly checked for skimmers. police are called if any are found. the bank says its clients are covered by a zero liability policy if they return the fraud quickly. morgan hill police recommend seeing if something wiggles or comes out of place. if it does, it most like means there was something installed illegally. they also say it is important to look at the alignment of the card reader before inserting any debit card or credit card. >> reporter: police say they'll be meeting with bank of america officials next week to discuss strengthening security measures. "today in the bay." now to fiery words from oakes okay land's ex-police chief. armstrong speaking publicly for the first time since his firing

is blasting the decision by oakland's mayor to fire him. his ousting comes on the heels of a recommendation by a federal monitor following an independent report. armstrong claims the long-time federal monitor twisted facts from the report to force him out. he argues the oakland mayor, thao, should have known better. mayor thao based her firing on that report, which found that armstrong failed to oversee the investigation into an officer misconduct case. the former chief says the monitor bullied the mayor and others into dismissing him to continue the department's oversight and keep the paycheck that comes with it. >> i was a kid that wasbullied, and now we are dealing with a bully again. but i'm dealing with the bully head on, and i ask oakland to stand up and deal with this bully. >> the mayor's office and federal monitor did not return our calls for comment on

armstrong's accusations. armstrong took over the city after the commission fired the former chief, kirkpatrick. we spoke with her on wednesday after the mayor fired armstrong. we asked kirkpatrick what she thought the future looks like for armstrong. >> the firing in oakland did -- was a huge barrier. i have not been able to get to cities i'd be interested in. i'm disappointed by that myself. i still would like to go back in, so he's going to have a hard, hard time. >> kirkpatrick ended up winning a wrongful termination suit against the city. armstrong says he is exploring his legal options. this week, we did speak with mayor thao about her decision to fire armstrong. watch the interview on nbcbayarea.com. the man charged with causing last week's deadly house explosion in san francisco is out of jail and on house arrest. in court yesterday, prosecutors

between educators and staff at the east bay is finally over. the west contra costa unified school district and teachers union ratified a tentative contract. "today in the bay's" thom jensen explains how this not only benefits teachers but also their students. >> reporter: almost 73% of teachers and staff members voted in favor of the contract. 14.5% pay increases in the first five months and then 7% ra rais after that. a 7% lump sum retroactive to july 2022. the union's vice president says the pay was a big incentive to get the deal done. >> i think this was a real positive step in our district, in securing more educators to, you know, be attracted to our district and retain the educators we currently have, so we don't move to neighboring districts. >> reporter: it also gives students a better education gnat environment, which is the

ultimate goal. but the union's president says there's a lot more in the deal than just big pay increases. >> we increased pay up to three weeks, which is impressive. we are one of the first to have codified our processes in community schools, which is giving parents in the community power over what they see as a priority. >> reporter: the deal allows educators to take a mental health day and recognizes the burnout that many teachers are experiencing. the agreement also ends a possible strike by district teachers and other employees who threatened a walkout after a 97% vote in favor of a strike. in a statement, a district spokesperson said the agreement will hopefully allow the district, educators and community to move forward in a, quote, strong partnership, and it will strengthen education provided to students. thom jensen, "today in the bay." the mask mandate is over for some students in the south bay.

event, just on my personal facebook page, and asked people to eat ice cream for breakfast, take a picture of themselves and post it to my page. it was a huge encouragement to our family, and it was a way for my kids, who were little at the time, to talk about cancer and to talk about their sister. it gave us a safe place to share that experience with each other. so it was so good for us. we decided to invite the world and give the day away. >> it really did become a worldwide movement, didn't it? with the hashtag, with tagging you on facebook, twitter, instagram, and there's a bay area tie, as well. >> there is. so my brother-in-law, scott, lives in santa rosa, and it was actually his idea to start this thing. he was, like, we should make this an international thing. i was like, you can't just do that. he said, well, we could.

so my sister invited people on facebook, and it literally went viral the very first year we did it. it's gotten bigger every year. >> so wonderful to hear. you know, annette, what do you hope this movement does? >> our hope is that it encourages these families in the fight. it's a long haul. it's really hard. you can imagine, when your kids are sick, there's nothing that is closer to your heart than your kids. so we hope this day is a day of encouragement for kids who are still fighting. we hope it is a day of encouragement for the families who are missing their kids because they've gone on to heaven. we're hoping that this day is a day of celebration for those kids who are in survivorship. just letting them all know that we see them and know it has been hard, and that we're loving on them. i mean, that's really what this day is about. >> that's so really generous of

>> i was a kid that was bullied. now, we are dealing with a bully again. but i'm dealing with the bully head on. i ask oakland to stand up and deal with this bully. >> the mayor's office and federal monitor did not return our calls for comment on armstrong's accusations. this week, though, we spoke with mayor thao about her decision to fire armstrong. you can watch the interview in its entirety on nbcbayarea.com. now to an exclusive interview with the father of baby brandon. you may recall, he was the baby taken during a high-profile kidnapping in san jose. well, his father is now speaking for the first time publicly about the ongoing ordeal. the man and a woman who allegedly plotted the kidnapping were both convicted. this week, lawyers for that woman, ramirez, filed new documents trying to reduce her sentence. her lawyer argues ramirez, the

convicted kidnapper, is also a victim. ramirez is questioning who the real father is. she says baby brandon's biological father is her ex-husband. our sister station telemundo 48 spoke with the father who says that's not true. >> that's the reason why the father of baby brandon wanted to talk to me today, to set the record straight. he told me there is no doubt in his mind that he is the father of the baby. he also showed me a birth certificate that says, indeed, that he is the father of the kid. now, i saw them today. let me tell you something, they were just playing with each other, you know, playing games. he says he misses his kid so much because he was gone for a while when he was in jail. it was so good for him to be back at home and finally spend time with baby brandon. the kidnappers pled in the

kidnapping. it is now up to sentencing, and it'll happen next month. ramirez could be facing 14 years in prison. victor told me that he is going to be there that day in court along with his wife. we're going to turn now to vice president kamala harris in germany, accusing russia of committing crimes against humanity in ukraine. she made the remarks this morning at the munich security conference. harris says the u.s. has examined the evidence and she says there is no doubt that these are crimes against humanity. harris warned if russian president putin is successful in ukraine, other nations might feel emboldened to follow his, vote, violent example. the vice president called koreag weapons to russia and says the u.s. is troubled by china's closer relationship with russia since the war began. back here locally, affordable housing and affordable child care are two of the biggest obstacles for people

trying to make it in the bay. how to overcome them was part of the conversation at the annual state of the valley conference in the south bay. "today in the bay's" kris sanchez joins us with a look at the report that displays the strength of silicon valley. kris. >> reporter: hey, k rhode island -- kira. a third of silicon valley households are below income adequacy. this year's silicon valley index shows the income gap is growing. according to the report, silicon valley added 88,000 jobs between 2021 and 2022, while unemployment hit a historic low. however, the data shows black and african-americans are being left behind as they file almost 2.5 times the unemployment claims as white residents. that could be a factor in silicon valley's population decline. nearly 91,000 people left silicon valley over the last two years, about as many as during

the dot com bust. the birthrate declines. on the housing side, home prices went up 7%, setting the median home price at a record $1.53 million. that price is out 73% of first-time homebuyers and 86% of black and hispanic residents. renters say they're spending more than 30% of their income on housing. the median household is making about $550 less at a time that child care costs are outpacing the regional inflation rate. according to the children's council, one-year child care can cost $29,000. susan ellenburg says without affordable child care, parents leave the workforce, companies produce fewer goods, and consumers pump fewer into the economy. >> all ties back to this fundamental aspect of what makes an economic engine run.

as long as people have children, child care will be at the root, and it will impact not only those who have children but everyone in the community. >> reporter: the state of the valley happened on friday, but you still can download that index if you'd like to take a look at it for yourself. you can download it at jointventure.org or go to nbcbayarea.com. there's a link there, as well. kris sanchez, "today in the bay." >> thanks, kris. coming up on "today in the bay," a day to remember a 9-year-old scientist honored by yale university after she was the subject of a police complaint. we'll tell you the reason she hopes this bemes a teachable co for businesses of all sizes, there are a lot of choices
