Funeral For Massachusetts High School Teacher Allegedly Killed By One Of Her Students; Boy With Tourette Syndrome Fights Bullying
BALDWIN: Friends, family, and students gathered this morning in Danvers, Massachusetts, to say goodbye to Colleen Ritzer. Take a look. Colleen Ritzer was just 24 years of age. She is remembered as a favorite teacher to so many students, for her smile, her positive attitude. She taught math at Danvers High School, an aunt said she wanted to be a teacher her whole life. Police say one of her students killed Ritzer inside a bathroom last Tuesday after school. A 14-year- old boy has been charged with murder. Just a decade ago, Jalen Arnold became the youngest diagnosed case of Tourette's syndrome, and today, he's leading the charge to put an end to bullying of students all across the country. Here is Dr. Sanjay Gupta with today's "Human Factor."</s>JAYLEN ARNOLD, HAS SEVERE TOURETTE SYNDROME: I'm Jaylen and I have Tourette's syndrome, and I used to get bullied for that, a lot.</s>DR. SANJAY GUPTA, CHIEF MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Cool, calm, confident, 13-year-old Jaylen Arnold is on a mission to banish bullying for all.</s>ARNOLD: I've felt the pain of being bullied, and I know I have been bullied bad, but I know there are over 100 kids that are being bullied, 100 times worse than I was.</s>GUPTA: You see, Jaylen has Tourette's syndrome. It's a neurological disorder that caused repetitive involuntary movement and sounds called tics.</s>ROBIN ECKELBERGER, JAYLEN'S MOTHER: Jaylen began ticking at the age of 2. We went through several doctor appointments. Pediatrician was like, my goodness, I think this is classic Tourette's case and he was only diagnosed at 3 because in order to be diagnosed with Tourette's they have to observe the behavior for one full year.</s>GUPTA: Jaylen's mom, Robin uploaded a video to YouTube, hoping it would help children and parents alike better understand her son's disability. The video has racked up around 200,000 views. And it also captured the attention of actor Dash Mihok, who is currently starring on Showtime's hit series "Ray Donovan." "</s>RAY DONOVAN" COURTESY SHOWTIME: I was a fighter.</s>GUPTA: Together, Dash and Jaylen captivate their student audience working with Jaylen's Challenge Foundation to put a stop to bullying.</s>DASH MIHOK, ACTOR: I'm here because I have a young brother named Jaylen Arnold who reminds me of me as a kid. He has a message to bring to the world, and doing it at an age that I wish that I had had the bravery to step up and reach as many people as he does.</s>ARNOLD: And we came up with Jaylen's Challenge because I wanted to stand up and do something to make a difference. It hurts to think about how much torture and how miserable a kid's life can be just because of one person is causing them to feel that their self-esteem and that they're worthless.</s>MIHOK: Bullying no way.</s>GUPTA: Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN, reporting.</s>BALDWIN: First the Obamacare web site, and now spying on world leaders. If it's true that President Obama didn't know about all these issues in his administration until they blow up, we're asking, why the heck not? I'm Brooke Baldwin. The news is now. Accident or crime, the operator of this state fair ride in court accused of using the vortex as a deadly weapon. Plus, Julianne Hough apologizes for this Halloween costume. Should there be even be outrage in the first place. And I'll speak live with one of Lou Reed's best friends about the life of a rock legend. Here we go, hour two. Breaking news, I'm Brooke Baldwin. We can now tell you two Oklahoma inmates on the run since early Sunday morning have just been captured. Two others who joined their escape are still missing. Take a long look at these pictures here, folks. CNN has confirmed that two of the men, Dylan Three Irons and Prime Brown are now in custody. They were rearrested about 90 minutes ago less than 20 miles from where they first escaped. How did they manage to break out of jail in the first place? They apparently broke through a hatch in a shower late Saturday night, crawled through the ceiling, walked out of the jail undetected. I know it sounds like a movie plot. It is true. Larry Levine joins me now. He's a former federal inmate and the founder of Wall Street Consultants. Larry, it's nice to see you again here. Let's first begin with the fact that police or authorities caught up with two of the guys and caught them not too far from the jail, 20 miles. Does it surprise you they didn't get that far?
