camp. they go through so much together. but they really develop an appreciation for each other, and they worry that they'll never see each other again. you've never seen so much hugging and crying as when they have to leave camp. >> barbara harrison reporting. when the kids leave that camp, they're called seeds and are expected to use their voices to sew peace wherever they are for the rest of their lives. >> great concept. 9:17 your time right now. they made it all the way to the sweet 16, but that is as sweet as it's going to get for maryland women's basketball team. the third-seeded terps defeated by tenth-seeded oregon yesterday. the team did not hit a single three pointer during this entire game. there was still a feeling of this unfinished business after

bowser says it's misinformation. >> we had a shift in policy at mpd so all missing persons reports for critically missing people, including children, are publicized. we asked for the public's assistance to bring those children home. prior to that, we had only publicized missing persons reports for children or anybody else if we suspected foul play. >> bowser tells us there's an upside to the attention and that her administration wants to get more grant money to local organizations that address family issues which are often at the crux of these cases. >> derrick, thanks. all right. 9:32 your time right now. getting new information as we look overseas now to that attack in

>> reporter: what our role is just to be accepting of everyone. i think this is teaching our children to see max as a child just as they are with the same needs. he's different, and yet he's very much the same. >> reporter: it isn't easy. max is on a ventilator. his mother puts angel arms on max so he can move his hands and participate in activities like coloring for a friend's birthday picture book. >> do you like it? >> reporter: max vocalizes but lacks strength for articulation. his mother understands everything he says. >> what would you like to be when you grow up? >> a teacher? you want to be a teacher? i didn't know that. wow. >> reporter: and what about max's future?
