because here they get one-on- one attention and they think the kids are safer. we tried to get moms to talk about this. once they heard the subject matter, they wanted nothing do with it. but dads had a lot to say. >> i think it's disgusting. >> i am in shock because, you know, i bring my kids here to school for safety. it's outrageous nowadays. they should do more of a background check. >> nobody is immune to. >> even if they have tendencies to do that, a psych evaluation would help bring that out if you have the right psychologist. >> reporter: do you think all teachers should undergo this type of evaluation? >> definitely. definitely. >> no one is perfect, unfortunately. you can do all the testing in the world. there is always going to be that one person. >> reporter: any message to teachers today? >> you guys do a good job. keep our kids safe.

students grandmother approached us to say they don't believe the allegations. >> i think the world of them. the kids love him. he is a gentleman. he is such a great teacher and personally to me he is like an uncle to me. >> reporter: now, the grandmother told us the principal sent an email to parent this afternoon explaining what happened and that the allegations came from a former student. we tried to reach today, called him several times, sent him a message on facebook but got no reply. he did speak with the sarasota herald tribune. he said he has done nothing wrong. >> you imagine how hard it is to go through going like. everyone has their own way of dealing with harassment. we want to help you talk to

themselves. also, ask them to tell an adult and write down what happened. this way you can date it and report all of the details to the police. new video that you have to see out of ybor city. a fight in the streets ended with a driver smashing right into a bar. check it out. tampa police think this might jog your memory. you see these guys fighting? they are outside of the bad monkey in ybor. watch. boom! the fight ends with that the bar. the guys did not get hurt, but you're gonna see the driver, he gets out and runs away. do you know that guy?

yesterday! bobby, this is bipolar weather. >> 80s to snow? >> it happens that way. they get 80 degrees and right now it is 31 degrees. >> chicago was 70 degrees also. what is going on? >> that is what were going to get. we're going to get a taste of it. the core of this cold you see here is going to move across the mid-atlantic states mainly from the carolinas north. that is where the coldest air will be. we will see some temperatures. i think the 30s. there is the leading edge of the frontal boundary. it will be a big one up towards the great lakes. there is the snow, an inch or two. a little more in the higher elevations obviously with the video we showed you. there is 4 inches there. watch the snow. this is a forecast model. takes us through minnesota, michigan, u.p. and then that right there guys,

beginning of next week, that is lake-effect snow. if you got down here, winter is going to start moving in and stick around well for the season, but now it looks like over the next several weeks we'll see waves of cooler air, a warmup and then another shot of cooler air. it is 78 degrees for us. 44degrees dewpoints. we could get our dewpoints into the teens at least briefly sunday into sunday afternoon before it starts to back up. we're not seeing rain today. we won't get any tonight or tomorrow. right now, we're generally in the lower to mid-70s out there. safety harbor 73. riverview 75. brandon, about 74, 75 degrees. 71 to 73 degrees tampa. land o'lakes 74. lakeland 75. the evening looks fantastic.

in. it is the type of dry air you start your car and static electricity and your lips are chapped up or at least your eye. dewpoints and the heat will rebound into the middle of next week, but the cool down into sunday and monday so if you like 80s, take 82 tomorrow and almost 80 on saturday as well. i did put it at 78, 79 for saturday. we stay dry, but sunday morning in the 50s and then look at monday morning, 38 brooksville. crystal river. hernando. cold. most of us in the 40s. yeah, we're going to definitely feel like thanksgiving as we get the week started off. thanksgiving one day away and we're back up to 80 degrees. time to tell us what you think. grab your phone, tablet go to wtsp.com and go to vote now. you'll see options on your
