mom, shondra christiansen, was in custody since wednesday.up on a probation violation. the dad is nicholas christianson, 5'7", 190 pounds. brown hair, hazel eyes. law enforcement thinks he may have his son, 2-month-old andrew. >> let's go to sergeant scott sean irker, pio, public information officer of clark county sheriff's department. thank you so much for joining us tonight. we want to try to help you to find this little baby boy. what is the latest on the investigation? >> i was just updated by one of our detectives who said he had warrants that were generated out of clark county for both the mother and father for a couple of different charges. one of them is custodial interference of the father. also issued a warrant for an assault in the second degree that was a "d," domestic violence related issue, not with the mother but with a previous -- >> domestic violence on the child? is that what you just said? >> no, the father had a warrant issued for him for domestic violence charges against another individual. >> okay. all right. when was t

now for more on the president's meeting with the pope today we are joined by the reverend drew christiansen. editor in chief of the national catholic weekly magazine published by the jesuits. father, good to be with us. >> good to be with you, martin. >> let's talk about the significance of this meeting. was there real importance to it or was it a courtesy call on the part of the president? >> i think it's an important meeting for two world leaders in which mutually esteem one another. the pope has reached out to president obama from the day after his election. in the president's move, he called him prior to the -- or just after the election. i think it was a really remarkable thing. and the president i think has very special esteem for the pope and for the catholic church and the good it does around the world and would like to see in this meeting whether they can collaborate more closely on a host of world issues. >> throughout a few occasions in his papacy, the pope has been caught up in controversy. and since you met with members of the administration before today's meeting with the pope

. >> what is your concern for this baby, andrew christiansen right now?> we just don't know where he is or the father is. shandra has been in jail for a couple of days and has not given any indication she wants to give information about the whereabouts of them. that's concerning. it's not an abduction type of a case. it's simply cps had determined this was an unfit home for whatever reason at the time and was going through a process with these folks. they obviously decided to not go by what the agreement that they had with child protective services. >> we want everybody to hear and see the tip line right now. let's see if we can show that. if you know where this baby is, the number is 1-877-274-6311. again. 1-877-274-6311. out to patricia saunders, clinical psychologist. what is the mindset of a parent that knows she should not be with his child at this point, that he should be with child protective services? >> someone who has really impaired judgment, jean. that their judgment was bad enough they didn't fix the home environment, that was it was judged t

christiansen.d to point out the american medical association has sent a letter in support of this legislation. and it's hard -- the american medical association, and they support this legislation because it is key to an effective, comprehensive health system reform. i hope you yield to the -- >> i would be glad to yield to my colleague from the virgin islands. >> thank you, representative doyle. as a family physician, i'm very adverse to being dictated as to how to practice medicine, but i've read this section 931, section 931 over and over again and i see nothing in there that suggests that anyone in the federal government would have any authority to dictate to a provider how to practice medicine. and certainly nothing in there that would suggest any kind of rationing of care. in fact, the implementation speaks to what sounds like a voluntary arrangement within a state or region to implement the practices and some insent vising of those entities that enter into those agreements. and so i opposed t

christiansen. >> mr. chairman, i object to the amendment based on the fact that the comparative effectiveness research is designed on fauves treatments that are most effective and in no way dictates to physician or other providers, which treatment they should or should not use and the same way that is harmful treatment being made known to a provider would enable them to make the decision not to use the medicine favorable treatment, effective treatments being made known through comparative effectiveness research will allow the provider to use that information but there is no place in here that would cause denial or rationing and remember we are not operating under the british system, we are not creating a single-payer here. it's an atmosphere people are free to choose their insurance coverage. we will be offering an amendment on cer that perhaps we would ask our colleagues to consider supporting, which may address some of his issues and i would yield to mr. wiener if he still wants to be recognized. >> the
