sometimes in als abandoned house or shed. troiano is now drawing comparisons to former california judge aaron persky. he sentenced student brock toucher to six months in jail for assaulting an unconscious woman. writing a prison sentence would have a severe impact on turner. >> these kind of attitudes are completely incompatible with serving as a judge. >> michele dover led the successful campaign to recall% ski last year. she worries these rulings could have a chilling effect when it comes to reporting similar crimes. >> decisions and statements like this that favor accused person traitors really depress victims' willingness to come forward. >> reporter: prosecutors say they are now assessing their next steps and talking with the victim and her family. we reached out to the accused teen's attorney but have not yet received a response. we also reached out to the judge, a spokesperson for the court says they have no comment

okay, i got it. i got it. here's the question. should the waitress give the money back? >> i think she should. >> i don't know. >> that's a lot of money. >> it is a lot of many. >> the gentleman who had the credit card maybe should give her $100. >> something, yeah. >> i don't think that's right. >> but $5,000? >> she put it on the card. it's not really her card. i don't know. >> she was arrested for felony theft, the girlfriend. >> she turned herself in. i love her expression in the mugshot, yeah, it was me. >> you don't think she should give the muchy back? >> i'm undecided. i'm interested what people think. >> there might be a new law in which a certain percentage could come out of this, but who knows. i have never heard of such a thing. >> what do you have, gayle? >> this is a story about what a child can accomplish with a parent's unconditional support. we're going to start with a

rj's dad said he's very proud of him for overcoming his fear. the reason i like it, later on i saw an interview with the father and the son. the father said he wanted to show his son that you have to face your fears. you have to go do it. you have to overcome it, then you can do anything. the way these two look at each other is heart warming. >> what a difference a year makes. >> all right, tony. >> i want to remind viewers on monday, we had stanley mcchrystal. he's challenging presidential candidates to make national service a priority. yesterday, pete buttigieg did just that. he has a plan for a million volunteer positions in national service. i love it as an idea. i think it's a beautiful thing. he things it can bring the country together. speaking of bringing the country together, we also have a bonus talk of the table. a few days ago, people will remember, i said i would take part in the viral internet

challenge, the bottlecap challenge. this is where somebody holds a bottle, there i am, and i did it. you'll see. i don't know where this came from or why people are doing it, but i said on tv for some reason i would. >> and you're proud of yourself. how many tries did it take? >> officially, one try. truthfully, five times. >> but you did it though. >> i did it. can we show at least one video of somebody not doing it or falling so i look better. like martial arts people. look at this guy. >> that's john mayer. >> and no one really knows where it comes from. it's a unique thing. >> i don't understand -- oh, just as we were going to show you, suzanne works with us. >> more online of suzanne kicking the bottle cap off. enough of the bottle cap. we have to move on. a growing body of research -- more dog stories. pet owners shift to the emotional well being of

children. kids who grew up with animals are more likely to have higher self-esteem, better cognitive development, and more social skills. in a "new york times" article, lisa damour explains older kids can especially benefit. that article, what do teenagers need, asked the family dog. it's online right now. the dog is not online. is the family dog online? that's an interesting question. good morning, lisa. >> what is it that dogs give teenagers? >> for starters, dogs don't judge. and teenagers spend a lot of time being judged. there are a lot of adults who don't like teenagers and teenagers know this. and even those of us who really like teenagers are often giving them feedback or encouraging them to grow. if they're feeling terrible about some quiz from last week, the dog is not going to be like, well. maybe you should have studied more. >> you're right about physical and emotional intimacy. >> all of us need physical and emotional intimacy.

for teenagers, those can be complicated to come by, right? if you're upset as a teenager, maybe you need a hug, but you're not always going to hug your parents. you may not be in a relationship where it makes sense. the dog is there, the cat is there to be hugged. often when i ask teenagers how they recover from a long, hard day if they're upset, they say i get the cat and we get in bed or i roll around on the floor with the dog. and the research actually bears this out. we have a lot of research showing that contact with an animal does reduce stress. it lowers hearterate, it lowers blood pressure. animals are like a totally reliable cuddle buddy, right? and teenagers need them maybe more than people of other ages need a reliable cuddle buddy. >> a recent study found 38% of people between 15 and 21 say that social media sort of impacktcts how they're feeling. how does a pet play a role when you look at all the influences teenagers are faced every day.

>> when they're not judged by adults, they're often judging one another. do you look good enough, is your social standing good enough? and the pet does not care. the pet doesn't care if you're cool. the pet doesn't care if you have pimples. the pet loves you just as you are, 100% in your corner. again, everybody needs this, but teenagers may especially need this. >> what happens if a pet isn't an option in some households? >> and pets may not be an option. like, i'm not naming any names. i'm not naming names, but what happens? >> it won't always make sense for families to have pets, and not all teenagers connect with pets. the answer is not everyone runs out and gets their teenager a pet, but what pets teach is us what teenagers need. teenagers need to be accepted. teenagers need affection. they also need a way to give affection that doesn't feel complicated or loaded. teenagers need unconditional regard. the other thing they need is to be in the here and now. pets are great at being in the here and now. >> you keep saying dawes don't
