>> it could be, jane. but i know a lot of drug addicts who would never go to these lengths to be so evil. that might be something that they used as an excuse. i don't think that's going to carry any weight whatsoever. this is a level of evil that really leaves me almost speechless. i can't imagine allegedly what these two have done. >> tonight's big issue, selling a child. it seems inincomprehensible. we'll talk about that horrific criminal practice. but first, shaniya's devastated father who talked about the little girl on cbs's "the early show." listen to this. >> she is a precious little angel, full of joy. a little reserved when she first meets you, but once she gets to know you, she just runs around and plays and won't leave you alone. she is just a happy little angel. >> but now cops say that's the very 5-year-old child who was allegedly sold for sex, allegedly by her own mother, and is now believed to be dead. although the body of a child found about selfin miles from the hotel has not been positive

>> it does initially, jane. and of course we will wait for those reports to come in as investigators are out there now. i am sure they are surveying the land to figure out exactly houtjeep went from the land into the water. they'll take tire marks, you know they'll do a whole array of things before they -- and after the autopsy as well and in combination with their investigation. they'll be able to say, okay this is what we feel happen, this is what we know to be true so that may take a few days at this point. >> all right. leroy -- >> you will have to remember that there might be -- there might be -- they externally look at body. and while you say it could be accidental and it could also be that a homicide took place. the bodies were placed back in the car and then the car was pushed back into the pond. so they look at all of the external injuries, the internal injuries to determine whether or not it was a homicide or it was an accident. >> well, we certainly hope and pray that this was just a tragic accident a

jane openly laughing. >> yeah, yeah. six months is a long time in the world of jon and kate gosselin. i don't think so. >> jane, your thoughts? he's addicted. he's in. >> here's what i want to say. there's also a certain shame he's experiencing because he got all this fame for nothing. he himself says i don't know how to do this or that, i got a tv show because i procreated and that's not really an accomplishment. so i think that he's also feeling shame-based which complicates the whole issue. he's trying to fix something but the way he's trying to fix it is just making it worse. >> let's hit on the fame thing. brooke, what is this about the show or possibility of a show, jon minus kate equals jon plus octomom. is that going to happen? >> can you imagine, that would be just a complete circus, right? >> right. >> there were serious talks between the producers behind the show and the gosselins but -- jon gosselin and his camp but jon gosselin is formally saying through his lawyer, no, they're not going to do it. now, the e

[laughter] so i guess the moral is so far don't judge a book by its author.

i agree with you, jane. let's listen to a little bit of him really concerned about, again, like you're saying, public opinion. you stow yourself away for six months and get yourself together. but he's out in the public eye and worried about what the public thinks. here's chris brown talking about just that. >> it hurts. i'm still a young dude, so like i haven't got past this stage of being able to take people's negative comments and things and be like, oh, i'm not worried about that. it hurts. i'm human. so when i hear certain things and they say this, or if i go somewhere and hear somebody be rude about it, it's just like, man, it's a mistake. i made a big mistake. >> jane, to your point there, he's listening to what people are saying. is he putting too much credence in what people are saying at this point? >> and there are a lot of i, i, i, me, me, mes in that. the person really hurting is rihanna after she was beaten up. he needs to focus on how he can undo that damage and make amends. which he did use th

want to bring in jane. jane, i applaud her. you can hear the emotions that she would -- as she said, it was a selfish decision to go back but she peeled herself out of that for the good of others who may have followed suit. >> i totally applaud her as well, mike. when she first went back to chris brown after the beating, after we saw that horrific picture of her face just bruised and battered, there was an outcry. and she really became the poster child for a while for battered women's syndrome. so she has turned that around, and it's clear she's done a lot of thinking. i think she was knee-jerk reactive at first but now has had a chance to process the entire experience and she is starting to sort of get clarity about it and see it objectively as others were seeing it. and she's realizing that she made an error and trying to rectify it. and i applaud her for that, because there's so many big stars who will refuse to ever admit that they made a mistake. she is essentially admitting she made a big mistake going back to him. >> to

jane is talking with jose baez. they're going to speak about casey, her behavior after caylee's disappearance, her relationship with her parents and who knows what else could come up. so watch "issues" at 7:00 eastern right here on hln. >>> closing arguments are underway in italy in the murder trial of an american college student. prosecutors say amanda knox and two others killed her british roommate in november 2007 at the home they shared in italy. they say meredith kercher's throat was slit during a sex game. knox is standing trial with her ex-boyfriend. a third man was convicted last year. this morning on the "today" show, knox's parents say they're worried the jury will believe what italian tabloids have written about the case, rather than basing the verdict on the evidence. >> we've worried all along just because of what has happened, you know, all the false reporting. and to be quite frank, things have not really gone correctly so far. but we have to be hopeful that now it is all public and everything that ha

what did the jury do, jane? you saw it. aphrodite, you saw it, the jury was transfixed on michael jackson sitting five feet away from them in his pajamas looking like he was in pain and dishevelled. >> diane, we saw that. but remember from the waist up, you only saw jackson in his jacket, blazer. >> he had on blue pajamas with clouds on them. >> the blue pajama bottoms. you can see them right there. >> i was told by a jury foreman that he honestly did not know those were pajamas until after the fact. >> whatever. his team could have brought him some trousers. >> you know who could see was the accuser. i'm sure it was distracting to him. and part of what he testified about was part of the molestation was afterwards michael jackson asked him to put on his pajama pants. >> bingo. >> that was bizarre. and clearly bingo. but if jackson was trying to detract from that testimony of pajamas don't you think he wouldn't have worn the pajamas? i just think it was jackson being jackson. not feeling well. not being dishevelled. >> it wa

>> not at all, jane.igiously out there, looking, find anything possible sightings, any look-alikes and that's exactly what they've been, just been a lot of great, great look-alikes so i can't fault them for that, but it's not been mitrice. >> and the police, sheriff's department, what are they doing? >> nothing. they're giving us more hard time. i cannot be that critical of lapd. they're on it. i was able to meet with their commander last friday -- last thursday. he seems to be getting the ball rolling but there's still too much red tape as it comes to the l.a.'s sheriff's. i've posted all of the information that is so critical to helping us find mitrice on bringmitricehome.org. still going into eight weeks have mitrice tapes, even been seen leefgt sheriff's station. you know i know jaffray's, the even on jaffray's has been on this show. talking about he's doing everything that he could do. well, you know -- >> let's focus on the law enforcement, if we can. >> sure. >> i would like to leave jeffrey's out

i agree with you, jane. we don't have enough child protective services workers, enough police resources on important cases. this is a woman who got mad. maybe justifiably, maybe not. but the p.s. to the story is the kkk is handing out cards in that neighborhood? there's people with swastikas? are you kidding me? that only supports her claim that there could have been racial epithets thrown around in that walmart. >> does this case really warrant all the time, tax money and heart ache? you know, we here on "issues" cover these horrific cases of crime every day in the very same state, we're talking about the state of missouri all this is happening. five brothers and their dad are accused of heinous sex acts with children. in north carolina, we just talked about it, the young mom charged with selling her daughter for sex. that little girl is dead. you know, you've got fort hood, the soldier who mowed down fellow soldiers. and these are just from this month alone these cases. let's assume she did lose her cool a

>> sure, jane. i think we're talking about, you're asking the other guests did you suspect anything. pedophilia child rape, these guys would never be pinpointed. that's why sew it's so interesting when people try to profile them. because the first thing you always hear is that didn't look like the type of person. look what happened to phillip garrido. >> he looks kind of like garrido, this 77-year-old dad. >> you hear people say -- pedophilia is secretive. it's secrets among families. and thankfully, these siblings, if in fact it is siblings, came forward all these years later to talk about what was going on and hopefully, if in fact, it's true, they will be convicted and punished for these horrific crimes. >> we will ask again, why it took so long for this to come out. these crimes allegedly stopped 15 years ago. more on this unthinkable alleged crime spree in just a bit. a very sick family it's being alleged. we're taking your calls on this and toxic family secrets, 1-877-jvm-says. the brutal and

wow. >> absolutely, jane. >> ohp. and eric burke, reporter for wdaf. eric, i'm actually afraid on ask you what is the very latest? >> well, right now off. mohlers are still in custody. there were were rumors this afternoon -- earlier this evening i think that one of them may have had the means to get out of jail. all bonds set excessively high at least $35,000 up to $150,000 cash-only bond but so far that had has not taken place. right now the town is just trying to stop from reeling from all of the news that continues to come out each and every minute in the last week or so. >> well, listen, i just want to recap and review very briefly. tell me if i've got anything wrong there, eric. the allegations of child rape overall include, sexual performance, mock weddings between children and adults, beastality, i.e., sex with a dog. raping a child repeatedly and then burying alive the child that she gave birth to. raped with foreign objects and murder, specifically, one of them accused by the kids of taking them to a mall and kidnapping a man and then force t

>> jane, i've got one word for those being sued in this case. settle. this is not a victim that you want to put in front of a jury. they would hold tarzan responsible if they could. you don't need the great animal expert jack hanna to tell you that that is not a pet and i think that jurors would tag the defendants for a lot of money in this case. >> now, just because you have a pet doesn't mean you have the animals best interest at heart. as babies, these primates are ripped away from their mothers in the wild. for every chimp kept as a pet, there are untold numbers that are killed or injured or neglected. a bill has already passed and you can help by calling your u.s. senators and asking them to pass this act. when it comes to primate exploitation, jack, i always say, follow the money. >> yeah, right. the primate exploitation has gone down a great, great deal ins last ten years. this woman, she thought the chimp was probably hers. as the attorney just said, you don't want this to go to court. my accident with the lion was settled and i live with that e

>> well, i mean, it's just shock, jane. i'm sure that's what a lot of people feel, even though we see this so much. when it happens in your community, you don't want to believe it, especially after what happened yesterday in ft. hood. and what we have heard about this suspect, you know, usually people say oh, we never expected this type of thing. but we heard from some people and his mother said he was a creepy guy, you know. they didn't think he'd do this but there was something a little off about him. >> i want to talk about addiction to violence. and let me go back to alex. you know, to me, this is my take on all this. we're addicted to violence in america. we're inundated, conditioned to use violence as a solution, and violence is a huge problem because it's progressive. addiction is progressive. it's only going to get worse. have we hit bottom on violence, do we need an intervention of violence intervention in america as a society? >> well, i don't know that we have hit bottom on it by any means, and we probably do nee

>> you just showed it, jane. you showed how she was remorseful after doing the act and that's exactly what addicts do. they get remorseful after the fact. and the important part that you're showing here today is that you know, addictions take all kinds of forms. all addictions are similar with the behaviors of the addict. they're self-centered, self-motivated and the key is that they get treatment for them. i know some of the top leading treatment facilities right now, what they're doing when somebody checks into treatment, they're doing an assessment on these cross-addictions to see if there's anything else that they're addicted to so they can treat that at the time after they treat their alcoholism, their drug addiction, they can treat their fame addiction, their work addiction. >> or their food addiction. that's another big one in this country. >> food addiction. >> with obesity threatening to surpass smoking as the nation's number one preventible killer. it doesn't really matter what substance you're using. i
