involved. our reporters are inside syria with the latest. good evening. i'm terry moran. tonight, we begin with breaking news. fighter jets scramable to return a plane to boston logan airport tonight after a pilot found a suspicious package on board. jim avila joins us to tell us what happened, jim? >> reporter: tense moments over the atlantic for a united airlines jumbo jet headed to switzerland. shows you how enedge crews are these days. a flight attendant noticed a camera stuffed into the compartment on the back of an

empty seat. after asking the passengers if it belonged to anyone on the flight, the pilot decided to turn around and who, escorted by fighter jets, landed in boston. why would an abandoned camera cost the airline thousands of dollars? we do know that terrorists had been searching new ways to get devices past the tsa. intelligence officials believe that the man behind the underwear bombing was trying to hide a bomb in a camera. and tonight, the flight attendant and pilot thought they stumbled on something. but they have traced the camera to a passengers aboard on earlier flight aboshd the same plane. and now, the flight is cleared

for takeoff. >> jim, thanks for that reporting for us tonight. now we turn to the olympic victory for team usa as the women's gymnastic team won the first gold medal since 1996. but aly raisman's parents displayed a viral display in the stands. they are not alone. anyone who has seen "toddlers and tiaras" knows, but how much is too much to hander. julie foudy reports tonight for "nightline" from the games. >> reporter: the video has gone viral. the agony of the racemans, every twitch and squirm captured on camera as they watch their

daughter compete in the olympics. this gymnast's mom could barely watch her son, even after his successful dismount. then there's the nervous hooting and hollering of missy franklin's fist pumping parents. but sometimes this type of eninvolvement makes it tough to tell the difference between the kids and adults. if you kick the loads of youtube videos that turn the cameras on parents or if you look at shows like "dance moms" or "toddlers and tiaras" or cheer perfection, will see that parental participation is a sport of its own. ryan lochte's mom.

>> all he has to do is swim the full length of the pool and he is relaxed. that's not fair. >> society is transmissible. and one of the things that athletes need is relative -- a middle level of anxiety and relative calm. and so parents have to workover time because they know this. >> reporter: this morning, just outside the olympic park, parents of the u.s. swimming stars were talking about the intensity of the ultimate spectator tor. tyler clary's parents describe it. describe the emotion of that moment. >> i think the best -- we all dream of doing things. into to watch your son -- i can't -- i can't. >> it's unreal. very surreal. is it really happening?

i mean, it's wonderful. >> it's an amazing feeling. i can't put it in words. >> reporter: and it's not just here at the olympics. it's a feeling every parent with identify with. even in movies like "kicking and screaming" where will ferrell shows the extreme side of parenting from the sideline. >> it's almost as if the parent is down there on the playing field instead of the child doctor there avine, a psychiatrist and author, says it's time to cut our kids slack. >> i think parents have gotten too wrapped up in their kids' lives and in the wrong ways and not the right ways. they are wrapped up in academic and athletic. we have no emphasis or character and completely on performance. >> reporter: when you see some of the examples of people pushing too hard, pushing too far with their kids these day

what do you think? what goes through your mind? >> i feel sad for the athlete. because they don't develop that drive to win on their own. >> reporter: stacy clary's 23-year-old son tyler is one of the top athletes. he is here at the olympics for the first time. his parents say the winning formula includes cheering for their son but at a distance. they say they don't to practices. the current generation of the parents is at the pool. >> we atlanta way. there is their space to deal with their coaches. and i didn't want to be that spectator over the coach or kids. >> not everyone is going to be an olympian. and kids are kids. enjoy them and support them. whatever level thal are capable of achieving. >> reporter: for proud parents from the clary's to the raismans

to the royal, in the end, it seems all that cheering hasn't done too much harm. >> just a little common sense there. thanks to julie foudy for that. another another middle eastern strong man about to fall? an antidepressant alone. most days i could get out from under and carry on. but other days i still struggled with my depression. i was handling it... but sometimes it still dragged me down. i'd been feeling stuck for a long time. so i talked to my doctor and she added abilify to my antidepressant. she said it could help with my depression, and that some people had symptom improvement as early as 1 to 2 weeks. i'm glad i talked to her. i wish i'd done it sooner. now i feel more in control of my depression. [ female announcer ] abilify is not for everyone. call your doctor if your depression worsens or you have unusual changes in behavior, or thoughts of suicide. antidepressants can increase these

in children, teens, and young adults. elderly dementia patients taking abilify have an increased risk of death or stroke. call your doctor if you have high fever, stiff muscles, and confusion to address a possible life-threatening condition. or if you have uncontrollable muscle movements, as these could become permanent. high blood sugar has been reported with abilify and medicines like it and in extreme cases can lead to coma or death. other risks include increased cholesterol, weight gain, decreases in white blood cells, which can be serious, dizziness on standing, seizures, trouble swallowing, and impaired judgment or motor skills. depression was always hanging over me. then my doctor added abilify to my antidepressant. now i feel better. [ female announcer ] if you're still struggling with depression talk to your doctor to see if the option of adding abilify is right for you. and be sure to ask about the free trial offer.
