the victim. you know, people need to cope, but people also need to get on with their lives and go about their lives and try to live as -- function as well as they can even though that fear may be in the back of their mind most of the time. >> they know it's possible that this person can be released. one of the things we heard is the need to develop a safety plan. whether they were caught off guard or not, they need have a plan in plashings how they will react. how about -- talk about that. >> victims need to have a safety plan. i think it's important for people to understand that many sex offenders are known to the victim. they're not necessarily strangers. they may be someone that the survivor was intimately involved with. they may even have children together. they may have friends and
6:01 pm
family in common. so helping survivors navigate that kind of system is really important because they may, indeed, have some kind of contact with that person, but making shower that people are tuning in to what signs that they may not be safe. we certainly find that -- trying to keep abreast of the technology and the many ways that people have of being able to stalk and harass people. identity theft, just ways of seeking revenge or retribution against people and we can. one of the things we do at turn arpd is to help people cope with the emotional triggers around this but we have very good relationships with law enforcement, with prosecutors with probation and parole and we really need to help survivors be connecting with those resources as well when something is not feeling safe
6:02 pm
for them. >> our story focuses on sex offenders who have been incarcerated. the have the majority of people, a lot of them never get to that. how do you help them deal with that part of this? >> i think it's very important important that for some victims and survivors, they may feel afraided be sort of hypervigilant. for other people they may underrespond. so i think, again, helping people tune in to situations that don't feel safe, helping them understand what's available to them through the law and other resources to help them stay safe, but i think getting people to appreciate that there is some risk involved, and i think it's important for people to share that with family, friends, workplace, so that other people are looking out for them as well. >> they clan always reach out to turnaround. you have a helpline available
6:03 pm
24/7. turnaround is always there. gail, thank you. >> thank you. he was trying to break up a fight between high school students and he ended up dying in his father's arms. he was walking to work and saw a fight. instead of ignoring it, he stepped in to try to stop it, tried tolay a peace maker and someone stabbed a knife into him. >> i actually held my son in my hands, and the last thing he told me was "dad dirks i love you. i'm not going to make it." >> right now police do not have suspects, but his father said someone knows who took his son's life. after a year of ter -- a terrifying nightmare this may

the former nfl quarterback and a 44-yeaold grandfather. but there have been rumors he might make a come back and then late today, a very different and worrying headline, abc's david kerley has the very latest right now. >> reporter: over 20 years quarterback brett favre took a pounding, the last hit of his career in 2010 knocked him out. >> it's one of the few times i kind of went blank there for a while in my career. just the way i guess i shrunk around on the turf. >> reporter: three years after his career ended, favre said he's frightened about the toll the game has taken. today telling espn that he has experienced memory loss. >> after 20 years god only knows the toll. this was a little shocking that i couldn't remember my daughter playing youth soccer. it was just one summer, i think. >> reporter: espn looked at the
6:27 pm
science of concussions, 60 percent are head to head like a sledge hammer to the head and it only takes 15 milliseconds. that's why the nfl instituted new rules about head hits and paid out three quarters of a billion dollars to former players. favre's admission came as his name came up as a replacement quarterback for an nfl team. it's not the first time since he retired but he has the same answer. >> it's flattering but there is no way i'm going to do that. >> reporter: favre, a future hall of famer is one of the names associated with the concussion problem. he has considered having tests done on his brain looking for a buildup of proteins but he says he hasn't done it yet because there isn't much treatment now even if they do find a problem. even with the changes that the nfl has made, critics argue the game in america is still too violent. >> these questions just not going away. thank you, david kerley for this late breaking news.
6:28 pm
also tonight a new and dangerous drama on the high seas, americans taken hostage by pirates. the story straight out of a movie playing across the country, but this is real and the americans were singled out, chosen by te-bye the pirates fo the frightening journey. brian ross on the story with the latest details. >> reporter: it broad daylight. according to u.s. military officials, the crew was sorted by nationality and only the two americans were taken captive. >> you take an american you get a good price. at the same time you can bring a lot of heat on you, too. >> reporter: the last known position of the ship was about 15 miles off the coast of nigeria, on the western side of africa, 30 percent of u.s. oil comes through these waters and they are increasingly a hot spot of piracy.
6:29 pm
>> it's a very attractive place to operate in terms of the ransom that you can get. >> reporter: two americans are believed to have been taken to land, known havens to a number of pirate and militant groups that have captured other american and foreign oil workers before demanding ransom. oil worker texas richards was held for months there. >> they banged us up a little bit, slapped us around with rifles and put us in the boats. >> reporter: the u.s. says there is no current american military operation to free the hostages. unlike the dramatic case portrayed in the current hit movie captain phillips when u.s. navy s.e.a.l.s were brought in. the real captain told abc news pirates are part of a sea captain. >> if you don't want to deal with piracy you need another job. >> reporter: teams have now been assigned overseas and at the homes of the families waiting

6:31 pm
$375 million. for a comparison, that's over twice as much as apple spent developing the iphone. after footing the bill, the american people deserve something that works or start over. >> reporter: the contractors place some of the blame on the administration for last minute changes. the contractors also said they only had a matter of days to test the site before it launched. >> months would be nice. >> reporter: they said they warned the administration of potential problems. those warnings apparently didn't get to the president, who said this on day one. >> just visit healthcare.gov and compare insurance plans side by side. >> reporter: the white house insisted today there has never been a reason to delay the law. >> if you are asking me do we wish that there had been a better and more effective website on october 1st, absolutely. >> that's one more time to get it right. >> here's another fact that i understand is not often reported. people are enrolling every day
6:32 pm
and they have been enrolling every day since october 1st. >> reporter: but the white house still won't tell us how many people have been able to enroll, only that the number is in the thousands. as for that march 31st deadline when people have to either enroll in health insurance or pay a fine, the white house says there is no reason to delay that. >> all right, another health headline tonight as well. thank you, a big headline about something in american homes right now, prescription painkillers like vicodin. late this afternoon word the fda is taking drastic action to try to curb the use of these pills. the plan would allow fewer refills. after three months patients would be forced to go back to their doctor before getting more medicine. patients would also be required to take the prescription to a pharmacy, no more doctors simply phoning it in. tonight two familie tied together by tragedy are grappling with the reversal of fortune. michael skakel, a kennedy family

6:34 pm
dynasty through his aunt, ethel, the widow of robert f. kennedy. rfk jr. is his first cousin. >> it was an attractive narrative for people that somehow this kid, because of his connections to my family, had gotten away with murder. the fact is that he didn't commit the murder. >> reporter: that conviction has now been thrown out by a connecticut judge, ruling that skagle's trial concern did not provide a constitutionally adequate defense. >> how unusual was this decision? >> it's almost unheard of to win it in a high profile case with a really well paid lawyer. >> a very well known media friendly lawyer. >> i was shocked reading this ruling. >> reporter: next week is the 38th anniversary of martha's murder. her mother dorothy waited 27 years for the first trial. >> i'm 81 years old and i still have some spunk left in me and i will be there. >> at the new trial? >> every day i possibly can.
