with her troubled son, and worried he'll end up in hand cuffs. good evening i'm jennifer leigh. >> i'm keith cate. we're counting down to super tuesday. tomorrow republican voters in 13 states will go to the poll, a total of # 95 dell -- 595 delegates up for grabs. clinton and sanderson vying for about -- sanders vying for about 865 delegates. most polls projecting clinton will win every state but vermont, and on the republican side trump is favored overwhelmingly except for texas, cruz leads there, of course that's his home state. here's more from houston, all eyes on texas. >> reporter: that's right. thanks good evening from houston, where texas senator

but will it be enough in the state tomorrow to overcome what a real cowboy in houston told me looks like a big push from donald trump. ted cruz is campaigning at home in texas, the only super tuesday state cruz figures he can win and must win. cruz vows to take texas tomorrow, and then catch fire. >> at that point it will become abundantly clear it's a two-man race. >> reporter: at the houston rodeo today the cowboys are divided between trump and cruz. >> he's more of a constitutionalist type, not a whining new yorker. >> reporter: donald trump was in virginia. >> believe it or not, we're going to unify this country. >> reporter: but he's being called a racist. >> all lives matter. >> reporter: claiming he couldn't hear the question, trump on sunday refused to condemn the klan. marco rubio is adding that

>> he's unelectable now. he refused to criticize the klan. >> reporter: but trump got support from an ex-new yorker. >> when i was small donald trump financed our basketball team to help us stay off the street, so i know a little more about donald trump. he's not a racist. >> reporter: hillary clinton today is trumping on the republicans. >> what we -- jumped on the republicans. >> what we can't let happen is the scapegoating, the blaming, the finger pointing going on on the republican side. >> reporter: sanders was in minnesota, a state he hopes he can win. and back in texas, cruz is fighting to win just his home state. the latest polling here in texas gives cruz a widening 10- point gap, keith, over donald trump in the state. >> well, steve, texas is not a winner take all state like florida. is it possible for donald trump to actually lose texas, but

because of the texas delegates he picks up tomorrow night? >> reporter: yeah, actually, yes, absolutely. it's not really state by state. it's date by date. florida decides because it wanted a winner take all primary to put its primary on march 15th. every state that votes that day, and every at a time that votes -- state that votes after that can be winner take all. prior to that the parties say you can't be winner take all. they didn't want one candidate taking over in odd states like iowa with force likely to produce notary public -- iowa and new hampshire wipe the other candidates out right away, so they made it potentially portional on super tuesday, so -- proportional on super, so it's not mathematically possible for

to secure enough delegate on super tuesday, even if clinton wins vermont and trump here in texas, they can't lock up the nomination. looks like it's going to come down to florida and the rest march 15th. >> all right, thank you steve. as he mentioned florida's primary is march 15th. the early voted started today for the in-person early voting. the rest of the bay area counties will start early voting in person on march 5th. we posted everything you need to know on www.wfla.com. breaking news right now, sportscaster erin andrews is on the stand testifying in her lawsuit against her stalker and a marriott hotel. so far she's been talking at that time early years of -- about the early years of her career, when she entered into the male-dominated world of sports casting.

>> and quit in the middle of it, they want to tell people look it's really hard, a lot harder than you would think, and i was like i want to do it, i wanted to do it, and i called my parents on the way home from the meeting and said i think it went well, and i think they'll give me the offer, so no the offer was there. they were feeling me out to see if i was interested [ inaudible ] >> erin is the daughter of investigative reporter steve andrews. she's suing the hotel and man for $75 million. candace mccowan is in the tampa news center following the trial all day. >> yeah, good evening. she just took the stand in the last 30 minutes. it's been a long day of testimony like you heard, even hearing from the man who filmed erin. but she told the jury why she

and how much of a dream it was for here. >> i knew in high school pretty much my junior and senior year i was going to go to a college that had a good football team. as much as you wanted to go to the games, i wanted to go to college where i knew espn and cbs would be there to cover the game, be around it, and be around the people covering the games and see what they were all about. >> it's been an emotional afternoon, her mom taking the stand, and here's what she had to say about the moment erin called her family to tell them what happened to her. >> i heard her say naked, i am naked, dad, they've got me, i'm naked. i don't know what's going to happen. what's going to happen to me? i'm naked!

what about my life? and she was hysterical. >> and again, emotional. erin was in tears while her mother was testifying. just in the past hour how much has it changed sepsis this film was re-- since this film was released and how terrified she is of fans and large crowds, and how she's still humiliated to this day. >> and earlier the stalker testified as to how he got access to her in the hotel. >> yes, he said he called the marriott in nashville asking about andrew, figured out the room she was in and was able to get booked in the room next to her, and filmed her getting dressed. again, marriott is denying any wrong doing in the case, but for from the stalker's testimony is. cooing up at 6:00. >> -- coming up at 6:00. >> thank you, candace mccowan. a mother pleading for help with her son, she is afraid that he's going to hurt someone. but the department of juvenile

at least they didn't until 8 on your side got involved. the mother felt the punishment given her son for stealing a car was too lenient, released to her custody the day after he was arrested, and now she's concerned pictures of him holding a gun or floating around social media, and what's that all about, so jamel lanee', was the department of juvenile justice wrong in not being more aggressive and what are they doing now? >> reporter: well, keith, you remember when we did this story, of coursely a couple of weeks ago -- obviously, a couple of weeks ago, so many patients applauded the -- parents applauded the mother for putting her story out there, but now that we called the department of juvenile justice, it's now been recommended that had changes are made. the mom says things haven't gotten better since we spoke to

weeks ago. she recently learned from school resource officers he has a weapon. >> if they see him and recognize him they can pick him up, but they want go out actively chasing after him based on a picture on facebook of him with a gun. >> reporter: she feels the department of juvenile justice continues to turn a blind eye because he's a juvenile. >> telling kids it's okay to steal gun, money, and cars is not a good message to send to my kid or any other. >> reporter: the deputy director says jail is not the answer though. >> they're frustrated because it appears as if nothing can help them, but there are better things to help families in those situations. >> reporter: in matthew's case she says there may be trauma in the past. tara and her husband adopted him at the age of 7. >> we need to have schools and after care and a juvenile

informed so they can provide appropriate service. >> reporter: services tara says all parents should be fighting for with troubled youth. >> persistent, keep at it. these are our kids. we can't just ignore it and it's going to go away. it's just going to get worse. >> reporter: now i spoke with experts and they say if you are a parent that's had -- >> jamel lanee' was trying to see if you're a parent with similar concerns call 211, we actually have a list of programs and resources that the community has that will hopefully fit your family's needs out there. still ahead a library shut down over mold has a community up in arms. >> and they're demanding something with done. up next why people in venice

people in venice are pretty upset about the closing of their public library. the building was shut down after mold was discovered inside, but many feel the decision was rushed. john rogers is out died the library, and -- outside the library, and people are saying there's another way. >> reporter: yes, they want tot see it kept open. the decision was made so quickly many don't realize it's closed, in fact all through the the day people -- throughout the day people have been pulled up shocked the -- pulling up, shocked the doors are locked, and questioned why it was done in the first place. inside the venice public library you'd find thousands of books and a flurry of activity,

it was first spotted a few years ago, but spread to the point it became a health concern, and it was quickly shut down, not a popular decision. >> they can fix the problem or rebuild. there's something gone on. >> reporter: nearly 800 people have signed a petition asking the county to reconsider, saying it's easier to clean the mold than demolishing the public library. for now they're using a small books. away. is it frustrating to find out it's closed down? >> oh, yeah because i'm on my bike. >> reporter: it could take about three years to decide what to do. >> we used it a lot, and it's a shame they can't keep it of. something bigger must be going on.

libraries heard the concern and is willing to listen, happy everyone cares so much about books. >> the things that comes through the clear zest how much people -- colorrest is how much people -- clearest is how much people depend on the public library, it's an essential part of their daily lives. >> reporter: the county wants the public's input moving forward, and wants to hear their ideasing and they'll have a series of public meetings march 21st next door at the community center. >> what about the books themselves? is there mold on their too. >> >> reporter: a lot of folks are wondering the same thing. i'm told when the books are removed here they'll be necessary. >> all right, john rogers, thank you. baseball fans from all over the country are converging on
